And now for something REALLY offensive...
My first reaction at the NormalBobSmith site was to chuckle at its cheekiness. But when I found out the bunny slippers would really stay on (as I imagine would the - shudder! - sports bra), I became increasingly offended. And I don't offend easily.
If someone had put up a "Where's Wahib?" picture (find the bespectacled and stripe-doo-ragged wounded Palestinian teenager among heaps of "normal" wounded Pal teenagers) or anything whimsical involving Jewish deathcamp inmates, there would have been indignation all over the Net. But put the crucified Jesus in a dogcatcher's outfit and it's funny? Sorry - well beyond my limits.
The "clonejesus" site, on the other hand, is a hoot. The premise is ludicrous: somewhere among the many holy relics purporting to be of Jesus are some with "authentic" DNA. So what are we gonna do? Clone 'em all, the Good, the bad, and the ugly? And are there really that many virgins left to implant?
Consider hundreds of juvenile JC types, real and wannabe. How do we recognize the real thing? Watch for a halo? Monitor their Wood Shop grades? Try to cajole them into turning water into Juicy Juice? Or just wait til they're 30?
And what if we clone the "real" Jesus two or three times from different relics? Worse, what do we do with the rejects? (We don't need more fake Saviors. We've already got Benny Hinn.) Maybe a live tableau of the last 10 minutes of "Spartacus"?
Is a puzzlement.

Fired up my search engines to see who Benny Hinn is, and accidentally ran across what is IMHO the funniest true name of clergyman(or anyone else for thet matter!):
*Cadinal Sin* of the Phillippines (a friend of Benny Hinn).
*Cadinal Sin* of the Phillippines (a friend of Benny Hinn).
Typo: CARDINAL SIN
Cardinal Sin, whom I believe is the Archbishop of Manila and therefore head RC dude in the Philippines (sp?), is probably devout but unremarkable except for his admittedly-great name.
Hope your elation over this find didn't prevent you from actually getting to Benny Hinn. Very distinctive fellow, with the German accent, amazing two-toned grey hair, and palm whacks in the head to heal the devoted. Oh, and have I asked you for money in the last 90 seconds?
Probably the worst turnoff to prospective Christians since Billy James Hargis, the TV evangelist of the 70's who apparently consorted indiscrimately with the young female AND male members of his "All American Kids" choir. Not that Mr. Hinn, thank Gawd, is of that stripe...
Do you have TV evangelists in the Greek Orthodox tradition? How about TV Sibyls?

There was an attempt by US Evangelists to set up a local TV station, but it was met with total indifference and eventually went out of business. Thankfully the Greek Orthodox tradition does not share a lot of the prudish aspects found elsewhere: priests do marry (but not between themselves), stuff like abortion are not considered political issues, and the only "dryness" priests advocate are Martinis. We obviously do have fringe fanatics who demonstrate against bar-codes and credit cards because they are supposed to embedded with the number 666. Fortunately there have been no wannabe-Messiahs running miracle mills for sex and profit.
Clone Alone IV?

@@@@ I, too, have to admit that the bunny slippers made me cringe a bit. But then, I have a phobia about rodents clinging to the feet of moribund people. I blame my Granny for that.

@@@@ I suspect there is no limit to tastelessness on the 'net. But perhaps there is something about the way that a lot (not all, mind you, but a lot) of Christianity is practiced here in America, that begs for the Normal Bob Smiths of this world. I have to admit, though, I think a dress-up Pat Robertson would have been funnier. ;)

@@@@ We Satanists have dibs on all the virgins left in this country. We're using the Harry Potter phenomenon to draw in young recruits. See for yourself:

A pythonesque plot twist:
Two JCs are thrown in a boxing ring by a cloned Pilate and forced confront each other. As they are bona fide clones however, they end up engaging in an endless loop of turning the other cheek to each other.

And here I thought we'd seen the last of the lead-in's for more "KY" humor...

Tongue-in-cheek!
The bunny slippers part also surpassed Mrs Che's tolerance threshold, and she is actually training our 7-month daughter to pull off the modem cord whenever I'm caught online.
For that act alone, Nephele may be up for the Nobel Peace Prize.
Behind the Name: Condoleezza

Vandalize or eroticize accursed loony saint?
Crazed, overzealous, idiotical cretin annoys.
Inanely satanize crazed virtuoso crocodile.
Overzealous Nazis croon delicate rancidity.
Tiny erection dazzles avaricious canoodler.
