Now here’s an interesting question: since we’ve established beyond a doubt that Jesus is inferior to either, who’s better: the Tooth Fairy or the Easter Bunny? Anybody want to take up the gauntlet and defend slighted underdogs such as Jack Frost or the Groundhog?
Despite my OP, I like the Easter Bunny better than the TF. I mean, Cadbury Eggs alone win the battle.
Wow. A Fairly Odd Parents reference. I’m impressed.
While we’re at it, though, I have to wonder: Who has better PR; Jesus or Nessie: The Loch Ness Monster?
For that matter, which one really is more mysterious? I mean, untold millions of people over the centuries have claimes to have “found Jesus,” but they have no proof. Hundreds of thousands of people believe in Nessie and have searched for him/her/it and never claimed to have found him/her/it.
Jesus has this ancient text loaded with vague platitudes with such open interpretation wars have been fought over it, while Nessie is crafty enough to live happily in a murky lake and wink knowingly at non-believers but never driving people to violence.
Jesus expects you to do all sorts of things to make him happy, but Nessie just lets us be our own people.
Jesus tells us we’ll be condemned to eternal agony for not following his ways, but Nessie will just eat you if you get too close.
You know, I’m really starting to think praying to the Loch Ness Monster is the way to go.
The Tooth Fairy is worse. Once, when I was just a little kid, maybe 7 years old, I woke up and there was the tooth fairy…
touching me [sub]…god, I’m so ashamed…[/sub] on my naughty bits!
It didn’t even understand what was going on, but from then on, I never told my parents when my teeth fell out. I made fake teeth from chunks of a shattered cue ball and laid awake in fear for nights on end, afraid that she’d come back…
Personally, I thought the disclaimer was almost as funny as the list. (And, certainly less disturbing than those statues! :eek: ) But, both were hilarious.
Shit. If we’re getting all up about the tooth fairy, does that mean there’s gonna be a holy war between anglo kids and Spanish kids who believe in Ratoncito Pérez?
I just want to say that the jock Jesus statues are hilarious.
If I had some free web space, I’d be tempted to copy them with my own captions.
(On the basketball one: Jesus teaches the children an important lesson about dodge ball.)
