A humble priest is taking on the might of the Playboy porn empire by protesting against the company's "cynical and wicked" branding of stationery aimed at young children.
Father Tim Jones, 40, was outraged when he popped into his local Stationery Box store and saw the Playboy items stacked next to more wholesome kids' characters such as Winnie The Pooh and Mickey Mouse.
So the clergyman began removing the offending merchandise - and received the backing of the shop's manager, who has removed the distinctive bunny-branded stock from the shelves.
Father Jones said: "I told the assistant manager, who was on duty, I was going to be launching a protest at the shop, and I went over to where the Playboy material was on the shelf alongside the Winnie The Pooh and Mickey Mouse items.
