Even MORE shirtless missionaries

RNS Blog Editor

Q: Who doesn’t want to see scantily-clad Mormon missionaries?

A: YouTube, apparently, which flagged the video above for content violations.

Chad Hardy, creator of the calendar series “Men on a Mission,” has not backed down from the LDS church (which excommunicated him for his calendar work), and he’s certainly not going to let a little video-sharing site rain on his parade of hunky Mormons.


He reposted the video, which advertises the third “Men on a Mission” calendar, promising “the Mormons are back and hotter than hell.”

For Hardy’s work with women, see last week’s blog post.

No paywalls here. Thanks to you.
As an independent nonprofit, RNS believes everyone should have access to coverage of religion that is fair, thoughtful and inclusive. That's why you will never hit a paywall on our site; you can read all the stories and columns you want, free of charge (and we hope you read a lot of them!)

But, of course, producing this journalism carries a high cost, to support the reporters, editors, columnists, and the behind-the-scenes staff that keep this site up and running. That's why we ask that if you can, you consider becoming one of our donors. Any amount helps, and because we're a nonprofit, all of it goes to support our mission: To produce thoughtful, factual coverage of religion that helps you better understand the world. Thank you for reading and supporting RNS.
