Now we just need the Easter Bunny to be eaten by a whale.

Don't forget Judah Maccabee.

/one of these Hanukkah/Christmas seasons Lowes or Home Depot will use him to sell hammers

I think the appropriate Easter analogy would be a bunny rabbit falling out of a virgin's vagina.

How can anyone's life be so lacking? Don't you have bills? A hobbie? A family? Friends? A purpose? Anything? Oh, I get it. It's all about attention, and the whoring it inspires.

Oh, I'm sure it wasn't his creation, but he did bring it to my attention.

At any rate - very well, thanks Link!

"The Bremerton, Wash., resident is fed up with the commercial aspects of Christmas, and he's voicing his protest in the form of some unorthodox holiday decorating: Santa on the cross."


Amusing tag? Try at least an Interesting tag (I was gonna say Hero). Christmas is too commercialized. And after all I bought this season, I'm planning to tone it way down for next season. I really don't care to hear the news anchors tell me how the retailers are doing during the holiday season so far.

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Santa, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but receive sweet-ass gifts for Christmas.

I went to a Christmas get-together at a local church the other day, and they were burning these on their altar:

Next time someone asks you to put the 'Christ' back in 'Christmas', ask them if they're Catholic. When they predictably respond 'no', ask them what the other word in 'Christmas' means.

You know, lots of people are sick of the commercialization of Christmas. Many too might like to put a crucified Santa in their yard.


I bet somebody could make a lot of money selling these.

The Santa and the cross part I'll give you. Since the guy's name is "Art Conrad", I think I'll reserve judgement on the Japanese part of the myth.

Now my wife tells me that her friend, who was teaching English in Japan in the '90s, said she saw a crucified Santa on display in a Japanese dept. store.
I mentioned it has been an urban myth since the '40s, and that her friend probably never really saw it herself, and she got mad at me for calling her friend a lier.

Art Conrad hung a Santa from a cross in front of his West Bremerton, Wash. home, to make a statement about the commercialization of the holiday season.

If he had used a noose when he hung Santa he couldve pissed off the Kwanzaa celebrants too.

You've obviously never been to Bremerton.

 
Mad Mark 2007-12-22 10:16:59 PM  
On a semi-related note, I had a Mad magazine lifted from my school desk in the 6th grade when I had came back from recess. All afternoon I was fingering suspects in my head till the end of the day when the teacher told me to stay after school. After everyone leaves she pulls out my "missing" Mad magazine. She flips it over to the backside & tells me never to bring anything like it back to school. The poster on the back at a grungy hippy crucified on an oversized syringe with the caption "The Modern Crucifiction". That particular issue of Mad struck a nerve with my teacher. I learned alot about drugs & religion that day.

I'm pretty sure Christmas is to celebrate his birth, not the crucifiction.

/oh, ho ho ho, puns are fun!

 
BearToy [TotalFark] 2007-12-22 10:27:10 PM  
IAmRight: I'm pretty sure Christmas is to celebrate his birth,

Only much much much later was the holiday re-marketed as a celebration of the birth of the mythical character of Jesus. Before that, this time of year was a time of celebration of many other solar deities.

/yes Jesus is a solar deity mostly copied from the Egyptian god Ra.

I know it's all about the solstice astrologically, I'm just saying that even in Christian terms, it has nothing to do with the crucifixion.

A very good point.
And if one really studies the stories about Jesus, it appears that he would have been born in late summer.

But at that point in time there were many who insisted that their history matched the prophecies and that they were Christ. Even the batshiat crazy Mel Gibson acknowledged this when he named his pornographic snuff-flick "The Passion of The Christ". There were many but this was the real one. No, really.

There is no such thing as a holiday. All these stupid symbols and shiat are getting ridiculous. If Christmas is that important to you, I laugh at your complete waste of a life.

awesome. The santa gif protesting consumerism was covered-up by an animated toyota pop-up ad. awesome.
