“He got his lad out, you only see it for a second but you get the message…”

Galway girl Helena Treacy, Grainne Dalton and Imelda Aylward from Mullinavat Kilkenny, who are currently working at the Royal Berkshire Hospital and play for St.Anthony’s GFC, Reading, dressed head to toe in Nun gear as they stood with signs outside the front of a Reading cinema, all for a bit of craic.

This wasn’t the first time the Catholic church protested against the film.

Father Ted’s episode ‘The Passion of Saint Tibulus’ met the erotic fantasy of E.L.James in this hilarious fan-made mash-up from the Facebook page aptly titled, Ah Jaysus.

 

Hat-tip to the girls’ friend Grainne Riordan for sending this onto us.
