Chocolate Jesus Is Hella Back
17 October 2007, 12:30 PM. By Cindy Casares
A sculpture of Jesucristo made out of six-feet of anatomically-correct, rich, delicious, milk chocolate that was stopped from showing in Manhattan last April amid protests from The Catholic League (like The Human League but without the human part), is back in action this fall. Creator Cosimo Cavallaro, who received death threats last time around, is thrilled to have a new opening scheduled for October 27th at a gallery in Chelsea and the “support” of the Catholics. (Or at least an agreement not to fuck with him.) Says our eyes on the artworld, Fox News:
The last show was criticized for its timing and its location. The exhibit, in a gallery visible to passers-by on a Manhattan street, was set to open one day after Palm Sunday and four days before Christians marked the crucifixion of Christ on Good Friday.
The Catholic League, which led the charge against “My Sweet Lord” back then, said the change to the Proposition Gallery and the exhibition’s new opening date would keep it from calling for another shutdown of the sculpture’s showing.
Well thank goodness for that because Guanabee plans to be there–with milk.

You’re all going straight to hell.
At least the Catholic League didn’t threaten to eat the Chocolate Jesus on Holy Thursday. Oh wait, it didn’t resemble a hostia.
I’ll bring the fondue pot.
If I had a nickel for every guy who’s referred to himself as “Chocolate Jesus”…
@dijo Alex: That wouldn’t include John Turturro doing an Al Jolson impersonation in the guise of “The Jesus”:http://www.kulthit.de/bilder/the-big-lebowski-3.jpg now, would it?
Why yes. For him, a dime.
