MOST E-MAILED NEWS STORY OF TODAY
A talking Jesus doll is due to go on sale in May, along with versions of Moses, the Virgin Mary and David, as a teddy bear maker tries to find a market with churches and religious families. The foot-tall Jesus doll will be able to recite five Biblical verses at the push of button on its back, while the Moses doll will recite the Ten Commandments. The Mary doll will recite a long Bible verse.
I don't think that I even have to comment on this, do I?

I wonder if they are anatomically correct?
Since they are politically incorrect, tolerance impaired, and generally rank up there with the same reality factor of Shrek, I doubt it.
I think my favorite are still the Jesus Sports Inspirational Figures, which I first saw on Conan O'Brien.

I wonder if the Jesus one comes complete with crucifix and nails?
I wonder what the six jesus messages are. Is this like early indoctrination made easy?
Jesus H. Christ!
You know, the closer I look at that Jesus doll, the more he resembles Mel Gibson!
I want very badly for someone who takes this product seriously to buy one, pull the string or whatever, and have Jesus say, "This was not at all what I had in mind. Go forth and waste your money no more."
That would be worth it to me. Although I'm probably going to Hell for thinking it.
I predict these will be huge sellers at Walmarts everywhere. White trash, Catholics, Christians and Republicans alike will embrace them with open arms. The rest of us will wait and buy them as gag gifts at garage sales and thrift stores 6 months later, for $2.
This reminds me of that "toy" that died amost as quickly as it was released, that was marketed for little girls in the 80's. It was like a reverse backpack and basically allowed the little girl to pretend she was pregnant. I remember one of the 'features' being that if you put your ear up to it, you could hear a 'heartbeat.' And, of course, you could either unzip/unvelcro it (one or the other, I forget) and voila! Insta-baby!
Which means we will now be FINALLY able to act out the age old question, "What would Jesus do?"
Oh it's on like Donkey Kong. I'm getting this doll. He's going to battle with my Dark Tater. Sweet!
A Jesus doll is one thing. Thats fine. Moses, etc etc, great. But to make them talk? That's something else... I'm sure it may be somewhat inspiring, but it's just a little... wrong
Does the Jesus doll walk on water?
Now if they made a Jesus doll that you could pour water into and it peed wine,I for one would buy it!!
I want one of those talking Moses dolls!
