Armed police, "The Passion of the Christ", and a sign that reads...

[dolo amber]

"Touching is good."

All things witnessed at our local Toys 'R' Us store this evening. Actual Milwaukee cops...not seasonal mall security guard types. Badges and guns. I believe the 'touching' sign was an ad for some newfangled touch-screen video game thingy, but still...it was just creepy. And yes, they are selling "The Passion" at a children's toy store.

:wtf:

4. I have a friend who was

for all intents in a cult (well, her mom was) when she was a kid...at 5 they were teaching them the "Mommy, I'm in your belly now, I have ten fingers and ten toes now, Mommy, please don't kill me now..."

No. Shit.

I think Mel Gibson and Bill Oreilly personaly blessed them. They have to have some kinda special powers.

7. Holy Hypocrisy, Batman!

Money changers, out!

9. think of the

miracles you can get with a replica nail just like the one hammered into Jesus. Man if there ever was an E-ticket to heaven this has to be it.

10. I'll field that "Touching is good"

As a gaming geek, I know it's an ad for the new Nintendo DS. New handheld gaming system.

Just an FYI--but it really sounds wrong, doesn't it?

14. Especially in the context

of having signs plastered every few feet in Toys 'R' Us... x(

15. At first, I hoped the "Passion" disc was a first-person action video game.
