Check out this born-again R2D2 wannabe, found on www.engrish.com, a Web site devoted to "the humorous English mistakes that appear in Japanese advertising and product design." This little robot is called God-Jesus and it looks as though if you give it a bit of battery power, its eyes will light up red and it will tomahawk-chop that crucifix back and forth like it's at an Atlanta Braves game.

But could there be more depth to this toy? After all, it is called God-Jesus. Look at the scenario pictured on the box, for example: A Japanese boy has his hands clasped in prayer to the God-Jesus toy and seems to be thinking of a little Japanese girl. Then the word "No!" is written over a pink, broken heart. Just what exactly is this toy capable of?!

I'm skeered.

And I'm not fooled by that bouquet of flowers the God-Jesus toy is pretending to offer in the picture at right. As soon as you let him out of the box, he's just going to ditch those flowers and reveal the heart-crushing cross he's wielding.

Toys 'R Fun!

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