Controversy - December 2008
In late 2008, the editorial staff at Playboy Mexico received a lump of coal and public criticism for Christmas after publishing a December issue with model Maria Florencia Onori looking awfully similar to depictions of the Virgin Mary. According to the New York Daily News, Playboy apologized for the controversial photo, which was captioned by the words "We Love You, Maria" in Spanish. The issue landed on newsstands just days before Mexico's annual Virgin of Guadalupe festival in early December.
