That’s right, you can buy Jesus and listen to him recite scripture.. well when Wal-Mart gets more in stock anways - apparently everyone wants to buy Jesus?! :
It’s funny how Jesus is used these days, the first passage quoted by the action figure in the video also shows up in a place you wouldn’t expect it - on the bags from a store that specializes in getting young girls to wear their cheaply made/somewhat revealing clothes and lawsuits : Forever 21… Check out the diagram below : Â.gif)
I can’t help but cheesily think about what Jesus would do if he knew he was such a hot commercial property these days… I may not be the most devoted church-goer but I was raised Catholic and from what I remember, I’m pretty sure Jesus wouldn’t support sweat shop labor and being turned into an idol like doll… But hey, that’s just me I suppose.
