Ergo, Oriental Trading Company Delanda Est

The Oriental Trading company, one of those places that will sell you 10 gross of plastic whistles for half a cent each has a catalog that came out for Christmas called "A Celebration of Faith."

Here's a sampling.

A whole section dedicated to things that say, what is arguably rather disrespectful things like, well see the beach ball.

Does this strike anyone else as a little odd?

Then how about the slap bracelets, the stress balls, the plates, napkins and banners and dozens of other items all emblazoned "Happy Birthday Jesus".

If that doesn't strike you as strange, how about the "Jesus loves you snow much" football or "Jingle for Jesus" bracelets, complete with jingle bells?

But lest we not feel like turning over the money changer's tables just yet, here's a final cherry:

This comes from the section titled, "All Aboard for Jesus".

Hilarious? yes.

Awful? Oh yeah.

Gas Mask

Just my average Saturday.

But the novelty of wearing a respirator wares off swiftly when you need it to actually breathe.
