Worth watching if only for the superb editing. I tossed this out on Twitter earlier wondering if it was too hot for HA and was assured (by one person) that it wasn’t, so let’s find out. Needless to say, I’m not accusing all Christians of taking this sort of thing seriously. On the contrary, these people are to most of you, I suspect, what the Newdow types are to me: Camera-friendly media-appointed “spokesmen” whose foolishness we must suffer, albeit not gladly. Although, having said that, I will sheepishly confess to having once seen Hitchens in a mildew stain on my shower curtain.
Most convincing Jesus apparition here: A tie between “Cheesus” and the folded shirt.

Heh. Some casino dropped like 20 grand for the grilled cheezus didn’t they?
TheUnrepentantGeek on March 10, 2009 at 6:32 PM
Strange no “Aliens are real because we saw a UFO” video posts ?
William Amos on March 10, 2009 at 6:34 PM
I’ve been searching for Jesus in my Raisin Bran for years so I could make a mint on ebay. The closest I came was Carrot Top.
toliver on March 10, 2009 at 6:35 PM
I love all the attention the MSM is giving to these lame sightings. Never mind the border being out of control, never mind Rangels’ ethics investigation, never mind the economy’s trouble….lets waste resources on Jesus in food.
becki51758 on March 10, 2009 at 6:35 PM
I’ll trade you a York for that.
kirkill on March 10, 2009 at 6:37 PM
I was proud to see my local newscasts well represented in the video. While Cleveland rots, we spend news minutes talking about the Jesus sonogram and the Jesus waffle.

Hands-down apparition winner?

Duh.

Interesting. Most democrats see Dick Cheney & Halliburton everywhere.

Looks more like fallopian tubes and a vajayjay to me?

I don’t get it. None of those things look at all like Obama’s original birth certificate.

Awesome.

Seek and Ye shall find.
I think if folks are focused on something central to their lives then they can see representations most anywhere. That’s no big deal in itself.
Lighting friggin candles, setting up shrines and embarking on pilgrimages to go see the objects is borderline insanity though.
Guardian on March 10, 2009 at 6:46 PM
I see nothing but Christianity adrift.
flyfisher on March 10, 2009 at 6:47 PM
There are quite a few people out there who believe Jesus can miraculously show up on a potato chip. To these people, it’s not a waste of resources, it’s proof of Christianity. And let’s not poke too much fun; there are also quite a few people who believe Jesus miraculously shows up inside their hearts.

I heard Hickory Farms is opening up a store in Israel….
They’re calling it- Cheeses of Nazareth…
buh boom shhhhh.

Wouldn’t that make Jesus a major cause of heart disease?
ronsfi on March 10, 2009 at 6:52 PM
Heh. I just saw the image of a monkey on my Lay’s Barbecue potato chip, but I eated it.
carbon_footprint on March 10, 2009 at 6:52 PM
Very good editing job by somebody with way too much time on their hands.
On a theological note — whoever thought up the name “Cheesus” is definitely going to hell.
cruadin on March 10, 2009 at 6:53 PM
I can throw a dead cat and hit Jesus in the face here in NC, especially if I’m at the DMV office!

Oy vay. Reminds me of Jeff Foxworthy, when referencing fellow southerners said, “we just can’t seem to keep the most ignorant amongst us off the television set”.

If religion is a crutch, what kind of sick jerk runs around trying to steal people’s crutches?

Hey, my state of Oregon finally stopped giving Jesus a driver’s license a few months ago. The DMV is eerily empty and quiet now… And of course DMV is complaining that their workload has dropped so much they may not be able to justify all the personnel they have!

Oh, that’s bad. This is better.

O/t But Horrible: At least 4 people killed, possibly as many as 13, at a workplace shooting in Alabama.
Oh, and the omnibus porkulus passed.
amerpundit on March 10, 2009 at 7:13 PM
Ok, I just watched the video and while I am a religious person and believe in God and Jesus these people are just seeing what they want to see. Also, the mind is programmed to make sense out of shapes.
That guy that said he stopped drinking after he saw the image reminded me of a Cheech and Chong skit, “first I was all hung up on drugs, now I’m all hung up on the lord…”
Liberty or Death on March 10, 2009 at 7:18 PM
And I thought I was goin’ to have to go to Patterico’s for “balance” and sensitivity courses. Thanks MM

It’s not a fair fight, as Muslims think images of Mohammed are a big no-no.
You’ll never see the Islamic equivalent of something like this in Saudi Arabia:

Why is it that SO many people just LOVE to find Jesus (and almost anywhere you’d ever think to look) — just as long as they don’t find Him on the thrown of their lives, where He can direct their thoughts and actions?

Sure that was a mildew stain?
Karl on March 10, 2009 at 7:41 PM
I am pretty sure when I was dating a lot, that the girls at night would see Jesus on the ceiling…they kept calling out…”Oh Jesus”…”Oh my God”…
right2bright on March 10, 2009 at 7:41 PM
I looked at the image of a doomed presidency and saw the image of Obama…does that count?
right2bright on March 10, 2009 at 7:43 PM
Allah, you forgot an exit question: how long until some politician in Connecticut attempts to crack down on all of the religious food?
cackcon on March 10, 2009 at 7:46 PM
I keep trying to make pancakes like Jesus, or even a turtle and keep failing.
Mister Ghost on March 10, 2009 at 7:47 PM
I’m pretty sure I saw the Messiah in sushi.

From what I heard, you left out the second part: “…when will it be over?”

Great news for Oregon! This, however, just means that some Oregon Jesus and his anchor disciples will be coming to NC!
SouthernGent on March 10, 2009 at 8:22 PM
Imagine how much money was spent to produce another slam on right-wing Christianity. No cost is too high to marginalize Conservatives.
“Wow, wotta buncha rubes. Good thing we’re all hip.”
warbaby on March 10, 2009 at 8:33 PM
As a Jew, I have a question here:
Why is it that Christians (some of them) are EAGER to find an image of Jesus in anything — a piece of toast, a moth, a dirty drain — and Muslims go bats**t with anger if they find Allah (the deity, not the beta male) in ice cream?
Mind you, I don’t have a God in this fight. I just want to know.

As a Christian, I’m embarrassed by these antics. I see Jesus in the Scriptures. That’s enough for me.

Old AND New Testaments.
jgapinoy on March 10, 2009 at 9:31 PM
Well at least with Cheesus you can eat him and he should reappear within three days.
LevStrauss on March 10, 2009 at 9:38 PM
When Christ comes back to kick ass and take names I wonder how our snarky news reporters will report it? Oh, it’ll be Jesus alright.
Mojave Mark on March 10, 2009 at 9:48 PM
Well, OK. I just saw Obama in a chocolate chip cookie.
What does this mean?
swede7 on March 10, 2009 at 10:00 PM
One of these images looked more like Nick Nolte’s last mugshot.

I saw obama’s ugly face on my baked potato a couple weeks ago. The end must be near.
ErinF on March 10, 2009 at 10:36 PM
I like the frying-pan one. You could use it to make some of those holy pancakes. (Maybe for Shrove Tuesday?) My wife and I had a good laugh in Greece when we saw a restaurant sign that said…
“The frying-pans of Olympus.

Go ahead…make fun. I’m a Catholic and I used to myself.
But then one day I was cooking on the stove and when I turned it out onto the plate to drain there it was….Jesus in my bacon.
That’s right, Bacon Jesus. Got that? Bacon AND Jesus.
Try and tell me you are don’t believe now, I dare ya.
They say nothing is better than bacon…well what about
Bacon Jesus?

Borderline blasphemy, but I had to laugh.

Because Jesus was all about truth, love, forgiveness, the fulfillment of a promise and everlasting life with God, the Father.
As a Christian, I am not put off by real or imagined images of Christ. It’s up to me to discern which is which.
Allah is a phony third-rate deity concocted by a child-raping murderer and extortionist.
If you were a Muslim would you want to be reminded of that?
SKYFOX on March 11, 2009 at 5:55 AM
Readers – here is the logo of the Brazilian Institute of Oriental Studies. Can anyone detect a subtle message or subliminal imagery?
uptight on March 11, 2009 at 7:31 AM
Related side note: I often watch television with closed captioning in case my ear misses something. Unfortunately this sometimes doesn’t work either because the person entering the captioning misunderstands as well.
One time the local news station was talking about the Pope’s visit. The caption read, “Pope emphasizes the people’s need to trust in cheeses.”
shick on March 11, 2009 at 9:22 AM
I would be more excited to hear someone exclaim that they saw Jesus in my life.
BoomJunkie on March 11, 2009 at 9:23 AM
Only 69 comments?
This is truly pathetic. Guess Allah’s anti-Religion threads are not that interesting to the general HotAir populous.
