Hang on, people, don't look below the fold if you are easily offended. I'm including a horrific photo that was shown on a magazine cover, one that elicited the following reactions from readers: "I was SHOCKED" "I was offended and it made my husband very uncomfortable when I left the magazine on…

I hope she discussed that with God beforehand - if they'd end up getting a divorce, it'd be really hard on the Catholics.

This cover is currently all over Facebook, too. I just have to share a comment from one of my friends, because it's too funny not to:
