Mighty Mormon Power Rangers

For those of you who are still carrying a torch for Latter Days' Elder Davis (and, after seeing these modeling shots of Steve Sandvoss, who wouldn't be?), you may be interested in a little project that has all the gay and Mormon websites out there atwitter. (I know, who knew that such a thing could ever happen.)

A group calling themselves Mormons Exposed has released a 2008 beefcake calendar entitled "Men on a Mission", filled with a dozen buff and beautiful "former Mormon missionaries" displaying their abs and pecs for all of god's children to see.

These marketing geniuses, who certainly know their prime customers (namely, gay men and randy Mormon women), even offer an eyebrow-raising promotional video (more Dieux du Stade then LDS) that will have you salivating over Elders Matthew, Casey, the two Brandons and the rest, in and out of their white shirt/black tie ensembles.

The creators claim (on their MySpace page, no less) that the calendar is "NOT affiliated with or endorsed by the Mormon church" (duh), although some interesting t-shirt designs for sale in their online store may make you question their insistence that they do not intend to shed a "negative light on the Mormon faith".

Yeah, OK, and while your at it, I'll take the "I'm My Own Uncle" tee in "Brigham blue", XL.

UPDATE: The completely irony-free Contessa Brewer interviews Chad Hardy, co-founder of Mormons Exposed, on MSNBC.
