What's the most jaw-droppingly tacky thing you can buy?

Riding riding, or just riding? :eek:

Shouldn’t that be “Coup De Foie Gras?”

Several years ago, I was in Mexico City for my cousin’s bar mitzvah, and at one point another cousin and I went to check out the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe. My cousin (despite the bar mitzvah attendence) is Catholic and seemed to get quite into the spirit of the place. He ended up buying the most awesomely tacky Our Lady I have ever seen. It had Our Lady of Guadalupe picked out in sequins and enclosed in a glass box. At the bottom of the box there was a lightbulb. You just plugged it and voila! Your own sequined, electrified shrine to Our Lady! The whole deal was about a foot and a half tall with the glass case creating a box about six inches wide. It was pretty remarkable.

Is the kid in the orange jersey trying to tackle Jesus? Is that really a good idea?

Football Jesus

It looks like he’s about to give Jesus a wedgie, which is an equally bad idea. I get the feeling Jesus does not take kindly to wedgies.

Although I find Mark Rydens art to be quirkishly fascinating, I first discovered him through a link to the horrifically tacky Angel of Meat. Set in a guilded, cross-shaped frame, the beautiful Angel of Meat hovers in the air above a grazing cow while cuts of meat and links of sausage float around her.

The Angel of Meat

Although incredibly tacky, what man doesn’t secretly desire a beautiful, naked, big-eyed, virginal girl clad only in a pork chop?

And as for the 911 coin, what kid who gets his hands on this beauty is NOT going to play child terrorist? “Look Mommy, I’m a terrorist! I can knock down the Twin Towers all by myself!” This coin is just begging for a date with a die cast plane, in a childs mind.
What were they thinking???

Oh, come on, Eve ! After that whole passion thing, a wedgie is nothing !

Meanwhile, why isn’t anyone commenting about the, um, commentary in that mountain of faith thing? “With each perfectly sculpted scene, you can almost feel Jesus’ love, faith and strength.” What’s with the almost?

Ah, reminds me of my childhood, playing Kennedy assasination with Barbie, Ken and her Dream Car (Midge played the part of Jackie, as she had the better hairdo for it).

:eek: :eek: :eek:

(I wonder if Linda Blair owns one?)

My boss’s wife bought him one for Christmas, as it’s his favorite holiday movie.

Mrs. WeHaveCookies’ mom came to visit us between Christmas and New Years. We looked up events in the Atlanta area that she might be interested in, and she selected the RMS Titanic, Inc exhibit at the Atlanta Civic Center.

In the gift shop at the end of the exhibit, you can buy necklace charms that hold a piece of actual™ coal that was salvaged from the Titanic.

I consider that to be titanically tacky.

Howbout a Soft Saint?

Well, if turning the other cheek is a good idea, why not turning BOTH?

I think I am going to start using “Jesus Christ with a wedgie!” as my new all purpose exclamation.

Are they anotomically correct?

There’s a painting I’d like to share.

Unfortunately, I cannot link to it, as it is not safe for work… Or sanity.

In order to view it, do a google image search for “indian animal love art”. It should be the first image to pop up.

… It’s a man in love with his goat. And when I say “In love” I more mean… Making… Love… to his goat…

It’s a painting, available for purchase. Also in this series is a man watching a peacock. He’s nude. And aroused.

I’d say that’s pretty damn tacky. And disturbing.

Behold, the Hello Kitty waffle maker. Tremble in fear.

I don’t know why this struck me as so hysterically funny, but it did:

"Jesus, The Good Shepherd:

Includes a staff and sheep as well as a certificate of authenticity"

Yes, and the uniform could be stirrup pants tucked into little tie-up ankle boots and holiday theme sweaters over dickies.

Amateurs.

My roommate and I have a shrine to Kevin Federline in a prominent place within our living room (actually, it’s the focal point). We’ve made it our purpose in life to find tacky things to place at the alter. There’s my actual autographed picture of the man himself, a glass egg plant from the dollar store, La Chupacabra (IE the ugliest purse ever. Thanks, grandma. Oh, the brown one), and a Jesus candle. I’m considering putting Kfed’s face over Jesus’, mostly because it’d be funny.

whoo hoo! See, I didn’t even think to look, thanks Shag. it’s christmas, it’s the time of miracles
