Sorry, but this is just one of the best headlines we’ve seen in a long time.
BERLIN (Reuters) – Germany’s churches criticized a businessman on Tuesday for selling thousands of Jesus chocolates.
Frank Oynhausen set up his “Sweet Lord” chocolate Jesus-making business saying he wanted to restore some traditional religious values to Christmas in Germany.
But the German Protestant Church criticized the idea as “tasteless” and the Roman Catholic Church was not amused.

The news coverage was never very clear about this: Was the objection to the sculpture of Jesus made of chocolate because it was made of chocolate or because the artist rendered him naked?
I don’t think the problem would be rendering him naked since he is practicall naked on the cross. I think the fact is that his face appears on something that you eat.
