The New York Daily News is reporting that the “winking Jesus” that showed up in Hoboken, NJ last year is still drawing visitors. I don’t get why people show up at these things, isn’t it forbidden in the Top 10 Commandments to worship idols? I’m reading this article and I’m seeing nothing but idol-worship. Winking Jesus? Puhleeze.
I’m not sure why the creators of this wax head think it looks like Jesus, but apparently they do.
According to this site, searches for the game World of Warcraft beat out searches for Jesus everywhere in the world except the US where Jesus garnered more searches. Google has a nice little trend chart that you can check out.
Hmm. Seems like there’s a collection of violent video games available that are supposed to encourage ’spiritual warfare’ amongst younger Christians. Man, I just don’t get Christians.
The group Jews for Jesus is currently running some advertising in New York City and apparently not everyone is happy with this. Personally, I think it’s hilarious. Why shouldn’t they use advertising? Some guy in the article is quoted as saying “I personally don’t think religion has any place in advertising…” but I don’t hear him screaming about religion and our government. Whatevs, I say that if you have the budget use whatever advertising you can. Another article about it here.
This old (December 2002!) Popular Mechanics article has been making the rounds on the internets today for some reason. The article claims that British scientists have what they believe to be the most accurate image of Jesus. I think that’s a pretty bold claim to make but the picture seems more real to me than the one that I grew up with (in Mormon churches there is always a picture of Jesus and he has fair skin, light eyes, long straight hair). What do you think?
Some idiot is shooing a pilot for a show about Jesus. Funny thing is that it’s his second time playing Jesus. Hey buddy, got a complex?
