Calendar gets Mormon ousted

The creator of a 2008 calendar that featured shirtless Mormon missionaries was excommunicated after a disciplinary meeting with church leaders in Las Vegas.

Chad Hardy says he bears no ill will toward the council of elders from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. “Men on a Mission,” which has sold about 10,000 copies, included pictures of 12 returned missionaries wearing black slacks -- but not their trademark white shirts -- in modest poses. The 2009 calendar, which drew 100 inquiries from interested missionaries, is to be released in September.
