Jesus Photoshop Contest!

Via Pharyngula, from Stupid Evil Bastard, I find something truly wonderful:

I never got around to writing about it, but it seems the Catholic Church in Lithuania got all bent out of shape over a beer ad
by the folks at Kalnapilio-Tauro Grupe that used an image of Jesus with
a pair of headphones on to promote a contest where you could win some
free music:

"Many believers are hurt and outraged that the Saviour's
image... was used for advertising beer," said Archbishop Sigitas
Tamkevicius in a statement.

"The use of Catholic symbols for commercial purposes and especially
for advertising alcoholic beverages is absolutely unjustifiable," added
Tamkevicius, who is chairman of the Lithuanian bishops' conference.


Yeah, yeah, boo-fucking-hoo. Anyway, today the folks over at FARK.com decided to hold a Photoshop contest of other ads that shouldn’t have Jesus in them.


So if you find sacrilege and blasphemy hilarious, go.
