(6,452 posts)The part about the Jesus action figurines is priceless.
This line of figurines represents Jesus being kick-ass at a variety of activities from bull riding to ... reading. Well, despite the one weak entry, this set seems to suggest the Messiah was all about getting busy in a variety of ways. The football figurine was controversial, because the Methodists assert Jesus was a running quarterback while other denominations insist the Lord was strictly a pocket passer.
The next set of figures will include Jesus in a kickboxing tournament, Jesus hunting man for sport and Jesus choke-slamming the Pope through a steel cage.

(135,425 posts)I'd often take a sack lunch when I'd go to Rome, and wander around the Vatican and have lunch there--this was before the metal detectors, the herding, the pay to look business they are doing now--you could just stroll in and look around. On the 2nd floor, where all those statues of the saints are, over to the left side, is (or was--not sure if they have moved it) the gift shop, run by a buncha nuns. Some of the stuff in there made tacky look classy! Little Pope music boxes that play Arrevederci Roma, for example...!
