Okay, okay! I can't take it anymore! After receiving trillions of submissions of "Buddy Christ" from the movie Dogma, I will finally appease the masses. Buddy Christ is officially Jesus of the Week for this week.

For those of you who don't recognize Him, Buddy Christ is from the movie Dogma -- a sort of gospel according to Kevin Smith. Recap: angels and apostles and the like -- portrayed by hot Hollywood hoohaas like Matt Damon and Salma Hayek -- go carousing around New Jersey, trying to stop an apocalypse. And make religious jokes.

In the movie, Cardinal Glick (played by George Carlin) heads up a campaign to make Jesus and the Catholic church a little more fun and friendly. The campaign slogan is "Catholicism - WOW!" and "Buddy Christ" is its spokesman.

If I can be frank, the movie didn't really get my holy water bubbling or anything... but it is kind of fun to see our dear old Jesus giving the Bill-Clinton-style thumbs up with a wink.

So here you go, my people. Buddy Christ. Ta-da.

Have an image of Jesus you feel sums the ol' Christ up? Submit the bugger!
