Black Friday

[Not Afraid]

VAM!

(I can hear Emeril saying that.)

I heard a story this morning about a German man (Frank Oynhausen) who decided that he was tired of the commercialization of Christmas. "I started thinking about how I could reintroduce traditional religious values into this commercial world". He launched his company "Sweet Lord" which produces and sell foil-wrapped chocolates in the shape of Jesus.

The church is not amused.

"It is terrible that Jesus is being wrapped up in gold foil and sold along with chocolate bunnies, edible penguins and lollipops," said Aegidius Engel, a spokesman for the archdiocese of Paderborn.
"This is ruining the symbol of Jesus himself," he added.

I'd like to direct Mr. Engel's attention to the local Catholic Articles store.
