Jesus' Winky Controversy
I am just going to dive right in here because I find this whole story Hilarious (yes, with a capital H). A Catholic church in Oklahoma City has a display of religious art. Seems like a good thing right? It includes a copy of a crucifix hanging in the Vatican. The crucifix in question has one problem. Some people feel that Jesus' man parts are a little too freely displayed and want the crucifix taken down. Other people feel that this is simply Jesus depicted with abs. You be the judge:
Okay, so here is the part where I tell you what I think. I think it's just badly drawn and/or sculpted abs. If this is Jesus' winky then somebody needs to go back to anatomy class. Seems to me the biggest sin here is bad art. I am not going to lie if I saw this in a religious art display I would stifle (or attempt to stifle) a laugh, stare for a minute, and then move on. That's what everyone stirring up this silly controversy needs to do...move on.

I'm thinking those are some really horrifically sculpted abs, and someone needs to take it back to the "artist" to have them sanded off.

I agree...just some bad art. Those are the worst abs I've ever seen...well, next to my non-existent abs...

FYI-stared at my "abs" for awhile and they still don't look like a penis.
You may ask why Southern Bitches?
