Bling Jesus

[Johnny Noshoes]

I saw this today on 47th street in Manhattan. I used my phone's camera. You can't see it in the photo but the crown of thorns is
diamonds. Doesn't seem very Jesus like to me.

2. Was there a sign

describing it as supposed to be an image of Jesus? Looks like an old man with funky headwear.

4. It isn't easy to tell...

It isn't easy to tell from the photo but when you see it in person it sure as hell looks like Jesus to me.

7. Man creates god in his own image and likeness

It's no stranger than those thick gold bling chains that some people wear with a cross dangling from them, it's the appropriation of religious imagery for aesthetic purposes, no matter how dignified or tacky.

3. Some say........

Jesus Christ bought one 24 carat gold Jesus neck bling chains for each of the twelve disciples as a Christmas gift. Each had a choice of a candy apple red Lamborghini Centenario or a Porch 911 Carrera to round out the holiday gift giving presents for that year.

The disciples got Jesus his own private executive Lear Jet with unlimited free jet fuel for one year.

They were far more ostentatious than generally realized.

5. I have seen this before, and IIRC, it was...

...supposed to be Jesus. Such ostentation would not be Jesus-like, for sure.

Whatever the hell it is, it is FUGLY as all get out.

6. Well, that's uh..unfortunate?

But it could buy a lot of cameras. So there's that.
