For those who can't be arsed to click the link above, here's a short summary. A NY art gallery has created, for Easter, a life-size chocolate sculpture of Jesus of Nazareth (aka Jesus Christ). He's naked and he's on a cross.

The Catholic League have predictably come out against this exhibition. You might think they were up in arms about so much chocolate being used but don't worry, it's only milk chocolate, not the good stuff. However, they said it is "one of the worst assaults on Christian sensibilities ever."

My personal take is "why not?" It's an exhibition at Easter with a Christian theme. Good for them.

Any dissenting opinions?

Cheap Publicity, He dosen't apeear to posses a lot of talent ...

If he made a chocolate nude Muhammad

he would be castrated within one year

and they'd probably make a video of it too.

That's quite amusing, actually... The church should be glad that so much devotion went into making another Jesus, imo.

The nakedness is probably historically accurate. The Romans removed the clothes of those being crucified to completely shame the victim in addition to the excruciating pain. In regard to sensibilities, it would be more appropriate to cover the genital area if it’s going to be on public display. Also, if it’s for Easter they shouldn’t have Jesus on the cross. Good Friday is the day used to remember Jesus’ crucifixion and Easter is the celebration of His resurrection.

its probably the nakedness and the accuracy of the depiction (jesus looks like a real er....chocolate person, not cartoony like most publications depict him) that is pissing off the church.

either that or pope benedict has his head up his asshole and sees nothing but shit.

We should have a Chocolate crucified Bunny -- it would be more fitting don't you think?

Oh yes lots of eggs dotted around the Bunny....its a must!

Mmmm... will people be allowed to eat it? Making a chocolate cock for anyone, let alone Jesus seems a little odd though.

my sister told me that when she was in Japan some store had Christmas decorations up,

but they were a tad confused and had a Santa nailed to a cross.

I still dare the guy to try and make a chocolate nude Muhammad.

Let's hope the chocolate doesn't start to melt on a certain area or the church will REALLY get upset.

It will save the catholic priests some money as they won't need to buy sweeties for the boys for a while, they can just lurk around the chocolate jesus for a while, they complain because they want a chocolate choir boy mmmm can anyone say kiddie fiddler.

i see nothing wrong with this at all
why is it that even Catholic riht has to get upset about this
i am a christian and i see no sac religious symbolism in this at all
Jesus is a very dominate historical figure why can't one use him as a inspiration for art

come on people son of god or not he has been a art figure for centuries

Reminded me of the concept of the "Buddy Christ" in dogma.

See this is why religion is gay. There all pussies. No one can handle a little fun. How could you not see the coolness in a chocolate statue of your savior.

15 more years! 15 more years!

Word. If someone made a chocolate statue of me I'd be honored, unless they weren't faithful to EVERY organ of my body =p
