2. Bwuhahaha! I love it!
Now that's a piece of kitsch I'd be willing to buy.

I don't think it's tacky at all. Nowhere near the level of artistic abomination of a precious Moments.

4. I have been to ground zero of "Precious Moments" near Carthage, MO
taken there by the sister of a long ago boyfriend who wanted me to see the chapel where people could get married.

Precious Moments stained glass windows, and murals, I kid you not.

Needless to say, I didn't last long with that family, and am now happily married to a man with taste.

Thank you Jesus!

14. That sounds really scary
I have a couple of Precious Moments figurines that people bought me years ago. I've often wondered if they are worth anything, since I have them packed away at the moment.

I remember when they first came out, because originally, only Zondervan's (Family Bookstores, now) carried them.

I didn't realize there was a chapel somewhere decorated with those images. That sounds almost as bad as the catholic church my uncle had his funeral in-orange shag carpeting on the podium, an ultramodern mural that could only have been painted in the 50s (in orange and blue, like HOJOs), and a couple of gory pictures of saints in all their agony.

3. He's a fraud
Why would he need a wire to hold his halo in place?

8. And it's off-center, too.
The Son of God would have it perfectly centered. O8)

7. Whoever came up with that must have had faith
that the gullible, dumbed-down 'Murcans would shell out $$$$ for it.

10. A few years back,
THE DOOR (a Christian satire magazine) did a thing called "Precious Moments We'd Like to See". My favorite was the Precious Moments Crucifixion.
