Inflatable Religious Decorations

You know it's coming--Inflatable Yard Decor Season. Yes, right now it consists of ghosts and pumpkins, but pretty sure it will be Santa and reindeer.

I was wondering if they come in a Jesus model, so I did a Google Image Search for "inflatable Jesus". What I found was good for several full-on belly laughs. I give you Inflatable Jesus:

Here, Jesus has lost both his legs in a terrible skiing accident and they've been replaced with a double row of ginormous teeth.  With shrunken legless children situated in their cavities.  Holding hands, of course.

If Joseph was a clown, this is exactly how Jesus would have looked.  He's got killer abs, swollen toes, and a strange Flintsone-esque shorts.


I am pretty sure these are the same ladies I saw on 9/11/02 posing with Ground Zero in the background, smiling.  They really don't pay attention to what they're posing near.  They just want pics for their MySpace page.

At first I said to myself, "Of course this is a joke."  But then I realized there are actually people who make nativity scenes out of marshmallows and haunted houses with a Revelation Hell theme, without intending a joke, so it could be for real.  Which would make it even more hilarious.

The makeup is a nice touch.


This is presumably from a nativity scene.  Or Charlie Brown's newborn brother napping on a yellow mattress while people....what are they doing, exactly?

Oh.my.gawd.  I SO want this one!  It has wormy looking hay, a very evil looking Santa, and an odd red tree, all in one creche scene.  Is there anything it does NOT have?

I have to stop now.  My sides hurt.

Amazing!!!!!1!

Time for a bitch session.  An amazing bitch session.

I can't take it.  Stop already.  Knock, knock.  Who's there?  Shh.  And a big preemptive shhh!!

Stooooooooooop saying the word amazing every 5 seconds!!   I mean it, world.  My head is about to explode.  Stop!!!


Does the entire planet have such a limited vocabulary that everyone has to use the same adjective for everything?

Don't even get me start about how inappropriate its usage is.  E.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g.  i.s.  n.o.t.  a.m.a.z.i.n.g.

Examples:  "You look amazing!"  (What happened to great, nice, etc.?)

"That's amazing!"  (From a cooking show I just watched.)

"You're kind of amazing."  (That's the biggest gagworthy misuse of all.  Mainly because it's used in a show perpetuating belief in imaginary invisible silent beings--The Ghost Whisperer.  Why is this misuse?  Because, in contrast to all other usages of the word, the context here makes it the understatement of the century.  Not only do these beings exist and give a damn about what goes on here on Planet Earth, only one woman can communicate with them.  And that's only "kind of" amazing?)

I've caught myself accidentally uttering the word, and I wanted to stab myself in the eye out of pure disgust.

'99.9pc certainty' of Noah's Ark discovery on Mount Ararat | News.com.au

News flash! Noah's Ark has been found.....again!!!1!

I wonder if evidence of animals will be found on the Ark. You know, an elephant's hangnail, penguin poop, and a tiger tooth. Maybe some of Big Foot's fur for good measure.

Brother and sister who didn't know they were related are to marry... despite knowing union is illegal | Mail Online

They know they are half brother and sister, but they're marrying (illegally) anyway.

Not only is my skin crawling, but my stomach is flipping with a wave of light nausea and indigestion.

I'm sorry, but yes you can help who you love. Love is a behavior, not just a feeling. It's a voluntary act.
