Inflatable Jesus
Oct. 8th, 2005 09:02 amI have no words.
On a related note, while wandering through the Waikiki markets looking at all the CFT*, we found a couple of stalls selling 'craft candles', i.e. 'candles made to look like just about anything other than candles'. One of them was a Jesus candle - not just regular benevolent-guy-with-beard Jesus, or even crucified-Jesus, but holding-a-hole-open-in-his-chest-to-reveal-his-bleeding-heart Jesus. This genre, but less detailed; there was just a red, wet hole in his chest, and he was holding the edges of the hole with both hands.
I'm probably going to hell for this, but I immediately thought how much cooler that candle would be with the addition of an Alien-style chestburster. Subsequent thought: if (as per Alien 3) the warriors inherit some of the characteristics of their host, what would Jesus-Spawned Alien be like?
That would be an AWESOME movie.
*Crap For Tourists.
Ed: Oh, and the Ig Nobels are out. It's heartwarming to see how many people actually showed up to collect their prizes in person... although sadly, Ms. Miriam Abacha was not one of those.
