I think I have ridculed enough of my fellow countrymen.
'Looking Good for Jesus' is a brand for a range of cosmetics and accessories from American company, Blue Q. The comestics range has since been removed from the shelves of British-retailor, Topshop in Singapore following complaints that the products are disrespectful.
Look at these products and you will know probably guess what has caused the uproar.
Like all other gods of the various religions, Jesus, too, is an untouchable name. Any association with THAT name must not be percevied as blasphemous in nature. Otherwise, you will be condemned by the Churches before even God judges you. If you are deemed to have committed the gravest sin, you might be stoned to death or burned on the stake. Blue Q didn't give a shit about it. Beside the 'Looking Good for Jesus' brand, 'Wash Away your Sins' is another brand associated with Christianity. If you think that Blue Q is anti-Christ, check out their website. Every concept of their product is very refreshing although their humor can be quite off the hook to some people.
To those who complained to Wing Tai Holding which operates the Topshop outlets, I have to say this, "Relax lah..." The 'Looking Good for Jesus' products are not sex toys; they are regular items that we use. The only difference is that these products are printed with cartoons of Jesus with some women and some interesting choice of words.
It's a pity that the 'Looking Good for Jesus' range is not available in Sydney. I wouldn't mind getting tight with Christ by purchasing a tube of the hand and body cream. And mind you, I'm a guy.
Relax lah!
