Sweet Jesus!

Can anyone tell me what all the fuss over this is about? Apparently, the response of the Catholic League is one of outrage: I give you Mr Donohue: "The fact that they chose Holy Week shows this is calculated and the timing is deliberate". Well, no shit Sherlock!

Surely, even a Christian could see this as something positively thought-provoking: a statement on the commercialisation of Easter by the confectionary trade? Chocolate eggs celebrate a pagan festival, so why are they called 'Easter eggs'? Why not a chocolate Jesus to bring the festival back to Christianity? And surely Jesus wouldn't have a problem with his body being fashioned of something edible - why does transubstantiation and the eucharist have to be all about bread, I ask you? I'm sure if Jesus had known about chocolate, he would have chosen that instead. Although, probably less practical in a hot climate, I must admit.

I'm eating a Fredo Frog now. I do hope there isn't a frog deity I'm disrespecting by doing so - sacrilicious!
