because people are too freaking uptight... we need to loosen the bible belt a few notches... or take it off completely and use it for light s&m.
 
I don't see what eveybody's making a big deal about. Jesus was supposedly a good athlete. I think he scored 4 touchdowns in one game before.
 
jesus was way cool.


Jesus was way cool. Everybody loved Jesus. Everybody wanted to hang out with Him. Anything He wanted to do, He did. He turned water into wine, and if He wanted to, He could have turned wheat into marijuana, sugar into cocaine, or vitamin pills into amphetemines. He walked on water and swam on land. He was way cool. He would tell these stories and people would listen. That's way cool. If you were blind or lame or deaf, you'd just go to Jesus and he'd put His hand on you and you'd be healed.
Jesus could've scored more goals than Wayne Gretzkey. He could've danced better than Baryshnikov. He could've played the giutar better than Jimi Hendrix. He could've baked the most delicious cake anyone ever tasted. Jesus could've been funnier than any comedian you can think of. He was way cool. He told people to eat His body and drink His blood. That's way cool. Jesus was way cool!

But then some people got jealous of how cool He was, and they killed Him. But then He rose from the dead and danced around and then went up to Heaven. That's so cool! Jesus was way cool! No wonder there are so many Christians!
 
so he said they weren't going to buy any more figurines... so they started making some with john lithgow... like john lithgow walking on water... and john lithgow raising roy orbison from the dead :lmao:

Are you serious?


Those figurines you posted weren't the o'brien figurines, those were the legitimate one. The o'brien figurines were the

jesus playing computer solitare
jesus playing wastebasket basketball
jesus playing paintball (that one was hilarious)
jesus riding a mechanical bull

oh yeah i know that... i quite liked jesus playing blackjack. he had 17 and was asking for a hit... :lmao:

anyway, yeah he read angry email last night and said they wouldn't do the jesus figurines anymore... so they started up the lithgow ones.
 
I'm gonna buy a bunch of them and then make a big deal of handing them out as presents here at work.
if the person claims that it doesn't go with their faith or lack-thereof - I will throw it to the ground and smash it to bits and then say "how's that then - HUH?!" and storm off...

hmmm, or maybe puppies.

what if I go to the pound and buy "already dead" ones?
I mean, they gas some number a day, they are bound to have some extras around.
that way if I give them out as presents, it won't be as bad if the person shakes the box to tell what is inside.
 
it really leaves me only wondering two things:
1) could Jesus run a sub 4min mile?
2) why isn't there a Jesus NASCAR one? that seems like it would be a big seller.
 
i think they're cool too!

one of the emails the show received said something to the effect of: "those jesus figurines were offensive blah blah blah... you suck and i was only watching because you had alanis morrissette on..."

:lmao:
 
what's funny is that they're sending angry emails to Conan O'Brian, a frigging comedy talk show!!! Lighten up.

I miss watching Conan. I love when the TV comes down and he does interviews with celebrity pictures with the lips moving. Mike Tyson was funny, and Clinton was hilarious. He'd always go "Whoooooooooo!!!"
 
i know - you'd think with his audience it would generally be appreciated humour too...

they did clinton the other night... it was so funny. they did robert blake recently as well... and he shot his cockatoo. i love the guy with the big ears who hands out preparation h... they took the guy to the nbc 75th show :)

anyone interested in a painting, rather than a figurine? $19.95

I like #34402, where he is dancing with the ballerinas. He looks so happy!

But, I'll tell you what is *really* offensive. What's *really* offensive is that there is an obvious lack of ethnic diversity in these figurines. Why are there no little black ballerinas??? Hmmm? Hmmm??? You betchur ass I'm gonna write a complaint letter to Conan about this....this makes me so mad...MAD!!! MAD I TELL YOU!!! :redhot:
 
one of my housemates collects ugly paintings of the last supper. maybe if I can remember for chiristmas I'll hook him up with a jesus painting from there.

the other housemate steals street signs and shit off the T

Down here in the deeeeeep south :nopity: the locals get stirred up by just about anything.. It's amazing watching th em scurry around and bitch about all the "evil" so they feel they have something to live for in their sorry ass lives.

Of course, down here in the Deeeeep South :nopity: tm they believe a Yankee (from Miami originally) is the Devil..:devil:

and then after dying for all our sins
and to show that god understood
all our suffering, he disappeared,
leaving things no better that he
found them...

hmmmm...

No, no, no. You're getting Jesus mixed up with Al Bundy. 4 touchdowns in one game and all district in his senior year. ;)

I hope that because the "Catholic Scandle" has came about lately...that it doesn't give the church or Christianity a bad name. I also hope that figurienes like these do not do the same.

Big deals can be made out of small things...like when they had to change the University of Kentucky Wildcat symbol when they said that the cat's tongue was in the shape of a penis...lol

I guess that maybe these figurienes might symbolize that Jesus can walk with you no matter where you are or what you are doing...maybe.

Dear smallmoveseal . The asnwer is too simple.

In first picture a small kid tries to hit Jesus in the nads, using a ball. See where the ball is heading!!! Other kid is also trying to tackle jesus to the floor , for who know what kind of sick thing.


In the baseball one, it looks like a "maneuver from behind" so perfected by preists in cardinal Law's parish. I feel sorry for that kid. He needs lots od ice and morphene, I guess his exit hurts too much.


Get those toys off! As christian I get offended by those pics.

you've got to be joking... a catholic supplier is selling them.

Just because a Catholic supplier, or any Christian is selling them...doesn't make them any less offensive.

that was funny!

i'll take a look around for it!
 
Does anybody know if they have Jesus with Kung Fu grip yet?

In all seriousness I think there figures are quite silly, but if someone feels the need to try to explain who Jesus is to there children with these figures I have no problem with that.
 
You can't please everyone. The only thing I find offensive about those statues is that someone else finds them offensive...
 
Where is Gimme All Your Money Jesus? Or what about politically correct black jesus? How about I'm A Deity And I Do Not Get Angry At Anything, Including Funny Shit Like This Jesus?
 
Conan is bad ass.. he's the only reason I would ever visit NYC. He's had some of the funniest skits ever on late night TV (or TV in general).. masturbating bear, pimpbot, triumph, preperation h raymond, loser on the beach, oldie (RIP), mr. t picking apples, the tv face thingy, desk driving, yeak 2k, etc, etc ,etc.

My all-time favorite Conan episode was when the whole crowd was filled with local elementary school students. They didn't get any of the jokes (unless it involved 'caca').. and the funniest thing was Conan's last guest was some financial advisor or something, and all the kids started chanting "BOR-ING BOR-ING.." halfway through his segment. Funny stuff, indeed.

Jesus wears a dress. He's so gay.

When your in hell i hope you have to wear a dress as demons probe your ass.

People found them offensive because it didn't show priests doing that, it showed Jesus. You can make fun of Him, but that line of humor crosses the line for most people.

For being a Christian you sure are hostile. Aren't you supposed to turn the other cheek and wait for judgement day instead of using foul language? I don't believe in any of this heaven/hell stuff, but maybe you should be worried if you're so sure about it. You have alot more hate than alot of the non christians I've seen here...

So how is Jesus doing things that ordinary people do in life offensive? I can understand if they had gay porn star Jesus or Serial killer Jesus, but the activities they had him doing were harmless...

I have my faults.
