:
I saw an interesting story on the news the other day.
A man in New York has made a life-size, anatomically correct, crucified Jesus out of pure chocolate. He had plans to show it in a gallery during the week of Easter, but (of course) the backlash from the fundamentalist Christian community caused the gallery to cancel the exhibit.
Here's the funny thing: I took one look at this chocolaty Jesus and thought "Wow! What a brutally simple concept! It so effectively lampoons how Christian holidays have been warped into bizarre amalgamations of worship and consumerism! How ironic that the groups up in arms over 'My Sweet Lord' are really only seeing what most of America sees when they think of Easter: chocolate."
The artist's (paraphrased) interpretation of his work, according to a CNN interview: "I just wanted to associate Jesus with a taste." 
Lame. I liked my interpretation a lot better.

Sounds like the time in Curb Your Enthusiasm when Larry David ate the Nativity scene, specifically the baby Jesus (Which was a cookie). Even more hilarious since he's Jewish.
