'Looking Good for Jesus' no more

The folks who brought us the "Wash Away Your Sins" line of bath products have finally stepped over the line, at least in Singapore.

A cosmetics line that extolls the virtues of "Looking Good for Jesus" has been pulled from stores in Singapore after some Roman Catholics complained the items were disrespectful.

"These products trivialize Jesus Christ and Christianity," Nick Chui, 27, one of the complainants, said. "There are also sexual innuendoes in the messages and the way Jesus is portrayed in these products."

Now those in search of "virtuous vanilla"-flavored lip balm and "Get Tight with Christ" hand and body cream will have to look elsewhere.

Granted, this is all in bad taste. But did anyone notice the business isn't secretly run by Richard Dawkins? They're only out for cheap laughs, not to trivialize Christianity. Blue Q also produces other novelty lines like "Let's Pretend I give a Shit" gum and "Cat Butts" air freshener.

I suppose PETA will be after them next.
