Nothing makes you pretty like Jesus can

I ran across this article two days ago about a brand of cosmetics that is using the image of Jesus along with catchy religious inspired sayings mixed with innuendo in order to sell their product. With lip balm flavors like virtuous vanilla and hand cream titled "Get close with Christ"....how could the "Looking Good For Jesus" product line fail? Well, it has made a lot of people angry (and rightfully so). A lot of Christians in Singapore (where it is marketed) are pretty mad and managed to get it pulled from the shelf. The article is here ~ http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,330439,00.html


Just for giggles, here are a few of the items they sell (mom and dad, think Jesus night light) Just click on the pics to see a bigger version->

Wow! The Jesus nightlight was admittedly a bit tacky, but probably marketed with more or less good intentions. I’m not sure where the line is between questionable taste and just really poor (offensive) taste, but I’m positive this stuff is way beyond it.
