OH, SWEET JESUS
Artist Cosimo Cavallaro, who covered a Manhattan hotel room in mozzarella cheese in 1999, has cooked up another scheme to get his name out there.
This time he's made a 6-foot anatomically correct sculpture of Jesus ... out of 200 pounds of milk chocolate.
The 485,460-calorie Messiah has Esquire magazine listings all the nutritional facts of the chocolate Jesus that is scheduled to be unveiled to the public April 1.
The magazines claims you could live off this piece of junk food for more than eight months. It must be solid. But I'm wondering, why didn't Cavallaro use white chocolate? And, because the ears were always the first to go on my chocolate Easter bunnies, I'm wondering what part of this would you eat first?

Man cannot live by bread alone.
P.S. Obviously, for this blog the front view of the AP photo of the chocolate Jesus was cropped. And the bread shot was all I had to offer that was somewhat relevant from my photo archives.

You know how different children's charity groups/homes are often recipients of the huge chocolate Easter rabbits?...it'd be kind of funny if a nun's convent received this as a gift..(funnier yet, a monastery full of men)..love to see the secret midnight snacking and the post-nibbling confessions..forgive me Father , for I have "bitten off more than I can chew"...but then again, this might be the first sexual experience for many of them..will it be deemed a miracle if it starts shedding "tears" or will it just be the melting from the stage lights? If it's anatomically correct, was He risen?
The artist is sacrilegious. This is disgusting. He should have gone to a children's ward in a hospital and made a gigantic Easter bunny for the children to enjoy. Then his 15 minutes of fame would be worth it.
Wonder where the artist is going to store it after showing it? Hopefully in the attic during the summer. Maybe the Virgin Mary will be made out of white chocolate next, along with a huge bonbon made to look like the Pope, or a box shaped like a cross, full of chocolate religious figures for Valentine's Day!
Ah yes, a confectionary Christ. Just what the doctor ordered. They'll have to serve it with Madonna french toast.
Calories for Christ,eh? Like the old adage,"One man's art is another man's junk". So be it with the ChristChocolate.
Was J.C. black? Is that what the artist is intimating?
Just a rather creepy piece of rubbish.
So perhaps,"On the Third Day...He melted",instead of rising,eh? LOL
Aha, so God is not dead. He has morphed into a candy bar.
Have ye no decency left?
I'm giving up blogging for Lent.
I guess all those who gave up chocoate for Lent have to wait another week to taste it!
UPDATE!!!!!! 3/31/07
THE PLANNED SHOW OF THIS ALLEGED WORK OF ART HAS BEEN CANCELED DUE TO PUBLIC OUTCRY!!!
DECENCY PREVAILS YET AGAIN!
Gee, are all the so-called masterpieces of Michelangelo/DaVinci with their life-size anatomically-correct nudes of Christ also sacreligious? Who determines what is art? God?
is chocolate God? God, I hope so!
I guess it would be tasteless if a visitor was wandering around wearing a "Bite Me" tee-shirt at the chocolate Jesus exhibit...
has anyone seen the "other" chocolate Jesue ? It's a papier mache Barack Obama dressed as the Messiah by some new artist...
How many of you people watched Jesus' crucifiction? He didn't use white chocolate because Jesus was black. He was black and naked when he died, deal with it. All of us men have dicks, and jesus was a man. If it is sacreligious to have a penis, I guess the existence of Christ himself is a sacreligious concept.
