SINGAPORE - A cosmetics range with cheeky taglines that extolled the virtues of "Looking Good for Jesus" has been pulled from stores in Singapore after some Roman Catholics complained the items were disrespectful, a newspaper reported Tuesday.
Promising to "Redeem your reputation and more," the product line included a "virtuous vanilla"-flavored lip balm and a "Get Tight with Christ" hand and body cream, as well as bags and other items sold by British retailer Topshop and produced by Blue Q, The Straits Times said.
Since when did looking good for Jesus become disrespectful? Don't we always want to look our best in church?
Anyway, some 24-year-old Catholic pipsqueak piped in and said:
"Why would anyone use religious figures to promote vanity products? It's very disrespectful and distasteful,"
But of course! Everyone knows that Jesus/God, who fucked his own mother to father himself, abhors vanity in every form. The last thing Jesus would ever do is exhibit vanity!
We now continue with our regularly scheduled and mandated-by-God worship of Jesus already in progress...

I love it. Of course, the real reason they complained is the same reason that Disney would complain if you tried to use The Rodent to sell your products.
Now THAT would be funny, trying to claim copyright on Jesus Christ XD
Dude! I actually got one of those at a shop in Palm Springs and gave it to my fiancee! Radical!

Aarron,
The Catholic Church has been around for 2000 years with the same beliefs and the same doctrines. Please try to raise some intelligent and civilized comments instead of angry ranting. Jesus our Lord did come to earth to save us and this life will only make sense by understanding that.
