The Late JC is said to have instructed his followers thusly:
“Take and eat this in remembrance of me . . .”

Nu? Why not chocolate?

Perhaps, but the Muslims do have particular beliefs about not representing their prophet so you can expect them to get up in arms about it. Catholics make scultpures of Jesus on the cross all the time. It’s practically an obsession. It seems in bad taste to quibble over the medium.

So let’s see, if this were a chocolate Mohammad at Ramadan, there wouldn’t be any controversy at all? No one would be making any kind of fuss about someone having a naked chocolate statue of that religous figure?

If they are willing to torch embassies and kill people over cartoons, just what in the world would happen then?

It was the habit of the Romans, as far as we know, to crucify their victims naked. Only our sensitivities give Jesus his loin cloth. Somehow this chocolate Christ is more real than many other works of art down the ages.

Just been to my local Sainsburys and couldn’t find a single chocolate Jesus! Disgraceful! Are they trying to take my saviour out of Easter the way they banned him from Xmas? I live in York so I’ll be raising it with Dr Sentamu. He likes to stand up for the simple man.

They could redo the Cadbury’s Flake advert using his dick. At least one thing’s come of it: millions of people will now get a look at this sculpture, albeit in photos and TV pictures, who wouldn’t but for the protests. ‘Twas ever thus. Take the thing that began this blog: JS: TO. Good old Catholic twazzocks. Thanks for giving me a chance to see this confection.

Here in Nebraska we sometimes make butter sculptures. Now, an art museum in Omaha is showing a Lard Mohammed sculpture next week.

To avoid offending Bill Donahue, I shall hereafter refer to Jesus as a eunuch.

Heh, the artist’s just been on BBC Radio 2 news wondering aloud about what the controversy is supposed to be about. “There was no bad intention behind it. Maybe it’s because it was dark chocolate? If it was white chocolate, maybe people wouldn’t have been offended?” Flip, perhaps, but the fact that Donahue now thinks that any representation of Jesus in one of those Godless Satanic “art” “galleries” must be interpreted as an attack shows that his level of paranoia has reached nuclear levels.

I wonder if he’s got Chocolate Salty Balls?

Why semi-mythical? Are you suggesting that there might be some historical evidence for the existence of this “Jesus” character? If so, please elaborate.
