Icon My Sweet Lord

The Catholic church just threw such a shitfit over an art piece in NYC called "My Sweet Lord" that it was shut down. It was a life-size anatomically correct figure of Jesus on the cross made entirely of chocolate.

Personally, I think that the melding of the crucifixion and chocolate is a perfect statement about Easter (sort of like those manger scenes in people's front yards that include Santa Claus and his reindeer) but you know how touchy the church is about their metaphors.

You can make a Jesus out of wood, clay, or metal but if He's edible in any way apparently all bets are off.

So you probably won't see a "Cheeses Christ" anytime in the near future....

I suppose the fact that the artist made Him anatomically correct didn't help either...
