As I mentioned last week, the life-sized milk chocolate Jesus has pissed off Catholic League Bloviator-in-Chief Bill Donohue. As proof of that, read the transcript or see the video of his appearance on CNN with the artist, Cosmo Carvallo, over at Crooks & Liars. In just a few minutes, Donohue manages to threaten Carvallo with beheading and finger breakage, call Carvallo a false Christian, insult New Jersey, and artists in general "losers." You know, when some videotape from bin Laden or some similar person shows up on TV, Bill O'Reilly an his ilk are always demanding that moderate Muslim groups denounce whatever the latest pronouncement is. Where are the same demands that mainstream Catholics tell a hate-monger like Donohue to go fuck himself and stop presuming to speak for them? Isn't O'Reilly a Catholic? He could do the trick.
And, to follow up on jedi jawa's point on the initial post - yes, I'm sure that the dark brown color of the statue is pissing off some people. In addition, Donohue and company seem pissed that the statue is anatomically correct. 'cause, you know, Jesus couldn't have had naughty bits.
