Y'know, I've always wondered about all those Chinese restaurants out there
with names like The Golden Buddha. If folks get upset at Sweet Jesus, how
come the Buddhists don't get upset at that (actually, I suspect the
restaurateurs are Buddhists themselves but another issue....). And how
about, say, the Silver Crucifix Italian Bistro or maybe the Holy Moses!
Kosher Kitchen and Cafe?

JESUS SWEET IN BAD TASTE
A chocolate Jesus which bleeds red jam has outraged Church
leaders.
The Easter sweet is marketed as the "immaculate confection".
It's a model of Christ nailed to a chocolate cross, and comes
complete with a crown of thorns and a look of agony.
The chocolate Christ is named Sweet Jesus by the man who
invented it, Richard Manderson, of Canberra, Australia.
He says eating them should make people more aware of the meaning
of Easter than munching a chocolate egg.
And he's hit on the slogan: "Put religion back into Easter with
an edible icon".
But Sydney Catholic Church spokesman Father Brian Lucas hit
back: "They're irreverent and offensive.
"It's an appalling exercise in bad taste."
