I've heard of the "pope on a rope". (it's a soap figure), but
this is really stupid & bound to offend a lot of people. But to
quote the MSNBC article, "In an e-mail response to Gerry, the company said it doesn't sell the dress-up Jesus to provoke or offend people, but rather sells it to reflect a diversity of opinion among its customer base "

Right, any lame brained idea is protected by freedom of speech.

I personaly thing it's a really lame idea.
