Sweet Jesus!
The timing couldn't have been better for a follow-up to my last post....Holy Week Angst Over Naked Chocolate Jesus
Sculpture By Cosimo Cavallaro To Debut At Gallery In NYC
(AP)- The Easter season unveiling of a milk chocolate sculpture of Jesus Christ, dubbed “My Sweet Lord” by its creator, left a sour taste Thursday in the mouths of a Catholic group infuriated by the anatomically correct confection.
“This is one of the worst assaults on Christian sensibilities ever,” said Bill Donohue, head of the watchdog Catholic League. “It's not just the ugliness of the portrayal, but the timing — to choose Holy Week is astounding.”
The 6-foot sculpture by artist Cosimo Cavallaro was to debut Monday evening, the day after Palm Sunday and just four days before Roman Catholics mark the crucifixion of Jesus Christ on Good Friday. The final day of the exhibit at the Lab Gallery inside midtown Manhattan's Roger Smith Hotel was planned for Easter Sunday.
“The fact that they chose Holy Week shows this is calculated, and the timing is deliberate,” said Donohue, whose group represents 350,000 Catholics nationwide.
He called for an economic boycott of the hotel, which he described as “already morally bankrupt.”

It looks sinfully delicious. All it needs to finish it off is a cross made out of peanut butter.
Update: Chocolate Jesus Show Cancelled - Deities made out of food deemed the unholiest of sins against God.

Man, I'm getting a lot of mileage out of this story.

Bill 'fuckwit' Donohue is behind this..figures.
Yum..peanut butter cross! :)
Crazy Donahue, foaming at the mouth. Can you imagine the people walking past the statue and you keep hearing a "Crunch, mmmmmm!"
"Hey! You got Peanut Butter on My Savior!"
"You got Savior on my Peanut Butter!"
I had a great talk with Ol' Donohue on Alan Colmes' radio show a few years back:

Dusty,
He's looking out for your best interests just like Pat "Deliver us from Evil" Robertson is.
Mary,
The "Body of Christ" never tasted so good.
Scarlet,
"Hey! You got Peanut Butter on My Savior!"
"You got Savior on my Peanut Butter!"
Two great tastes that go great together. I'm still laughing.
Thanks for the link.
Dono-hoe again? Good grief, I so wanna slap the snot out of that twit! A combat boot to his ass is in good order I think. I would be an instant celebrity if I ever had the chance to bitch slap him!
So let's see, the chocolate sculpture is 6-ft tall, mounted on a post (cross, if you must, I make no religious differentiation), so ... that puts the naked bits about at mouth-level ... gee, what could be more delicious? I'm guessing it won't be the ears that go first on this one! ~~ D.K.
btw PT, current news story: the hotel cancelled the display. apparently due to boycott & maybe even death threats. oh, and no balls. ~~ D.K.
Donnie,
He's on a mission from God. Don't slow the man down when he's on a roll.
D.K.,
Thanks for the news update. No balls, indeed. Not even chocolate ones filled with peanut butter.
And you were right. Read the full article. The artist himself was threatened by these good, loving christians.
I wonder if it is anatomically correct...if it is...somebody's gonna eat Mr. J's butt for pleasure...and that would really chap Donohue's ass something terrible.
Perhaps you'll also like Nebraska's own Lard Mohammed.
Sumo,
From what I understand, yes, it is anatomically correct.
PTG,
Thank you for the link. Who would've thought there'd be a growing trend of Deity Food Art.
Lard Mohammed... heh! LOL
So, now there is a chocolate Jesus. Right around Holy Week. Right around the time all the chocolate Easter bunnies are on sale at Wal-Marts worldwide. Are Jesus and the Easter Bunny related somehow?
Anyway, when I eat a chocolate Easter bunny I always eat the head first. What about you folks?
The lady on CNN keep crying about his Chocolate genatila!!! over & over.
BTW, I love the picture of the Lord with the rifle. Like the great old dope-addled comedy troupe Firesign Theatre used to sing, "Pass the Lord and praise the ammunition!"
