Easter Chocolate for everybody

Censorship of writing has a long history. But so does art. A huge chocolate image was created in time for this year Easter season to celebrate a man who died for our sins. Sweet Jesus. But, some folks don't want to see it...a Chocolate Jesus.

When Mel Gibson movie the Passion hit the theatre, the lovers of Christ, somehow forgot the rule of what would Jesus do, and attacked the movie. Now the artist Cosimo Cavallaro who created a chocolate image of Jesus has had his work somewhat banned, or at least the exhibit cancelled.

We pass images of Jesus all the time. But this chocolate Jesus got folks in such an uproar. Most folks loves chocolate. The stores are full of chocolate treats for Easter. It is such a sinful treat.

It appears that not only was Jesus a delightful milk chocolate, but he had a penis wait a chocolate penis at that. I guess Jesus penis for all to see was too much for the Catholics. Not banning pedophiles, but a chocolate Jesus, me think.

Word of the milk chocolate Christ infuriated Catholics, including Egan, who described it as "a sickening display." Bill Donohue, head of the watchdog Catholic League, said it was "one of the worst assaults on Christian sensibilities ever."

On Friday, Donohue said he was "delighted with the outcome" after hearing of the cancellation. But Donohue was still angry with Semler for describing his criticism of the sculpture as "a Catholic fatwa."

"He had no business saying my letter of protest was hate speech," Donohue said. "It just goes to show the guy is out of his mind."

The sculpture was to debut Monday evening, the day after Palm Sunday and just four days before Christians mark the crucifixion of Jesus Christ on Good Friday. The final day of the exhibit was planned for Easter Sunday.

The hotel and the gallery were overrun Thursday with angry phone calls and e-mails about the exhibit. Semler said the calls included death threats over the work of Cavallaro, who was described as disappointed by the cancellation.

"In this situation, the hotel couldn't continue to be supportive because of a fear for their own safety," said Semler. Cavallaro still hoped the sweet sculpture could go on display elsewhere, according to Semler.

But we see naked statute all the time. But they are not Jesus, so it's okay. And for gosh sake they are not chocolate.


It unbelievable but I think a chocolate Jesus was just too deep..chocolate that is. Besides the chocolate Jesus was too big. Simply too big for the children to see. He was much bigger than the Easter Bunny, a full six feet

!

Well what next to offend the religious right,Obama as Jesus?
