'It is terrible that Jesus is being wrapped up in gold foil and sold along with chocolate bunnies, edible penguins and lollipops,' said Aegidius Engel, a spokesman for the archbishopric of nearby Paderborn.

'This is ruining the symbol of Jesus himself,' he added."

God Almighty with AK-47!

Now available at the Jesus Christ Superstore:* the God Almighty Action Figure!

But I thought God was omnipotent and such. Why does he need an AK-47 or a Hallowed Cloak of Invincibility? Which book of the Bible is that in, again?

Another Shoe Blog!

Kiss Me, Stace.com ; Shoe Blog!
This shoe blog is clearly serious about shoes. Categories and sub-categories of shoes that I didn't know existed! "Kitten heels?"

Naturally, I went straight to the "Ugly Shoes" category (because there wasn't a "silly" category), where I found this pair (which I confess I kinda like). The internets have so much for everyone!

Seriously, though, if you like shoes, visit this blog, because there are lots of beautiful (and mysterious kitten-heeled) shoes described and reviewed.
