Talking Jesus Action Figure Sells Out At Walmart

Consumerist:

If you were planning on getting a Talking Jesus Action Figure this Christmas (or whatever) you're almost out of luck. Walmart has completely sold out of the toy and Target.com has "very limited supply," according to the manufacturer's spokesperson, Joshua Livingston.

"We feel blessed that the toys are now in the hands of thousands of children, teaching them the word of God. We knew that the toys would make great Christmas gifts, but to see them sell so well before the Christmas buying season begins proves that parents want alternatives in the toy aisle," says Livingston.

"If you were planning on getting a Talking Jesus Action Figure this Christmas (or whatever) you're almost out of luck."

You can still purchase the Obsessive-­Compulsive action figure, the Lunch Lady action figure, the Accountant, Nun, Einstein, Sigmund Freud, etc. For real.

As far as the popularity of the Jesus action figure, it's just plain ducky that kids are so in love with the saivyer that they're willing to wait outside God's Discount Store (Wallmart) to have even more personal interactions with him.

Brings a tear o joy to mine eyes.

How long before the playing child has Jesus in one of
Barbies dress and heels, holding hands with Ken.

Jesus by the ten's of thousands arising ( Easter ) from the land fill
broken legs, arms and with no head.

I love how in our society Jesus is portrayed as some white looking grateful dead roadie. Always cracks me up.

Jesus is a sellout.

What a great story to let the o so tolerant Liberals express their anti-Christian bigotry.

I get a chuckle out of all the contortions and rationalizations Liberals go through to somehow in their enlighten tolerant minds they can show blatant hatred and bigotry for one religious group -Christians.

It must be so wonderful being the intellectual elites.

PS: are they ever going to make JC more semitic-looking, as he would've been?

[PeteBogs]

it's not just evangelicals buying these, I bet you... I'd buy it just for the kitsch value!

Huckleberry is apparently the Repubs' moron of choice, and JESUS still has a place amongst the American masses.

Liberals are winning the culture war now? Really. On that front, nothing has changed. Nothing.

Meanwhile, Canadian currency is worth more than U.S. currency and the treasury is being drained by the 2%.

This country is finished.

"Don’t suck on Jesus’ head! It’s from China! The paint will kill you!"

Not only Jesus! with his kung-fu grip...

but Moses, Mary, and David all waiting for your children to play "let's go git the liberal!"

Probably made in China and is full of lead and poisons.

Ahhhh, justice can be soooo sweet sometimes!

PULL MY STRING:
-Give your worldly goods to the poor venture capitalists
-I took my broken guitar to Nazareth but the crooks won't honor their so-called lifetime warranty. Carpenters gone bad.
-Throw out the money changers and allow them huge buyouts.
-Want to see me turn sand into water?
-Tell mommy to buy the Mary Magdaline action doll too.
-Don't forget, peace is for fags.

Some guesses as to what talking McJeezis says:

"Hey kids! Vote Republican when you grow up!"
"Love the sinner, hate the sin!"
"Let's bomb the ragheads!"

Betchya it doesn't say, "Blessed are the poor."

Betchya.

C'mon, Betchya.
