Not that I'm for offending people, but I think it is ironic that you
can't give Jesus for Chrstmas:

..... that creaking sound you hear, is western civilazation
toppling.... as it bends over backwards...
PS, I see the point, but the irony is palpable..
Christmas is a pagan holiday which the christians
relatively recently tried to co-opt and is now a primarily
secular holiday. Giving a toy that preaches one
religion to children of a different religion (or worse
those with no religion) is offensive.
I'd be ****ed if someone gave one of these to
my kids.....of course I've lobotomized several
annoying gifts over the years. A 1/32" drill bit
works wonders and leaves very little evidence.
