[QUOTE=the link] But word of the confectionary Christ infuriated Catholics, including Egan, who described it as “a sickening display.” [/QUOTE] Of couse it’s sickening. I mean anyone eating a six foot chocolate Jesus is bound to get sick, all that sugar and fat. ---

Personally I find the idea offensive. From a culinary point of view, anyway. Jesus’s willie was going to be made out of an Oscar Meyer wiener, right? ---

Big fat :rolleyes: . I got a kick out of the “$100,000 Candy Bar” in his midsection. You just \*know \* someone is going to try to snap it off. ---

What’s the big deal? The local confectioner has chocolate crosses for Easter. How is this any different? Or is it news to people that Jesus had a penis? ---

Serious question: they are offended because he’s naked? Or because he’s made of chocolate? Or both? And how ironic that they got death threats over this, how very Christian-like. ---

You could melt down the chocolate Christ and make a truly divine chocolate mousse. Or maybe, in the presence of the statue, water turns into creme de cacao. ---

Opie and Anthony, two radio DJs are asking their listeners to bring them the genitals of chocolate Christ. While I deplore vandalism, I find that horribly amusing.
