The Last Dessert

Crypt Leak shot me a link to a seasonal piece about the furor over an artist's depiction of a naked, crucified Christ rendered in roughly 200 lbs of dark chocolate. (Well, he's in a cruciform position, and the artist intended to suspend him above a chalk rendering of the cross.

The accompanying note posed the question of when they say "anatomically correct," do they mean for a 2000 year old Jew or for a Chocolate Savior? Lacking the appropriate frames of reference, I leave it to other interested parties to answer that question.

In a follow-up story later in the same day, the hotel that was originally going to host this Holy Week exhibit withdrew itself as a venue.

Where this will end up remains unknown to me, but someone may have a shock coming Easter morning...

This is one of those stories where I'm not strongly in either side's camp, being uninterested in the event or non-event as it were. The objectors appear to have been primarily triggered by word of the exposed Savior's confectionery naughty bits - behold the awesome power of the loincloth! Meanwhile, the artist appears to be a sensationalist who occasionally works in foodstuffs.
