Get Your Jesus Puppet!

1jesusWhile surfing the internet for puppet sales, I came across a couple of sites that offend me. They are sites that sell biblical puppets. So, I can only assume that there is a market for people who want to buy a Jesus puppet (with removable legs and clothes!) or a Joseph puppet.

Let’s be honest, folks. People buy puppets to amuse themselves while they’re drunk as they put the puppets in erotic poses. Occasionally, people use puppets to amuse children while using adult innuendo to keep themselves interested. I can’t think of anything else anyone would ever use a puppet for, ever.

So, when you take the obvious purpose of puppets, and combine that with religious figures, sacrilegious doings are bound to occur. Do the puppet-makers really want people having puppet shows of Jesus getting it on with Mary Magdalene? Or Peter and John doing the Who’s on First routine for the kiddies? (Incidentally, I couldn’t find a Judas puppet, but did find a devil puppet.)

What’s next, comic books with Jesus in a cape swooping down to save people? Biblical trading cards with bubble gum? Where’s the outrage? Muslims would NEVER let anyone get away with a Mohammed puppet. I’m offended for religious Christians AND for puppet purists having to see serious figures introduced into the clan. Let’s do all we can to get these off the market, now.

Anywho, let’s watch Family Guy…

One Response to “ Get Your Jesus Puppet! ”

  1. Are you seriously offended by a puppet of Jesus or are you just looking to stir up some religious debate with a group of people who are also very easily offended by such insignificant things?
    First of all, puppets of historical and biblical figures ARE NOT uncommon, since puppet shows are a great medium for adults to not only entertain but to educate children. And second, ANYTHING for children can be twisted around and made adult orriented, does that mean they should stop airing episodes of Seaseme Street because people are going to dub over the episodes and put them on you tube?

    And If you haven’t noticed, there already are Jesus comic books. Thats the thing about not only Christians but almost any religion, they need to find new and inventive ways to connect to “todays” youth so to spread their word and raise up new followers to keep their order in power. Puppet shows are pretty outdate for kids, as are comic books, the new medium of choice is yu-gi-oh styled card games with religious themes and video games.
