of the Day Award

For the most unnecessary - but coolest - product, website, or doodad of the day.

The Winner for August 10, 2001

The Biblical Action Figures Collection

These action figures are ridiculous on so many levels, where do we start? How about the fact that Jesus doesn't even come with an extendable light saber? Where's the goddamn fun in that? How do you make Jesus kick the shit out Adam and Eve? (Sorry, no Pontius Pilate figure yet.)

Or how about the fact that they have light- and dark-skinned versions of Jesus and the rest of the gang? You could have the white Jesus fight against the black Jesus. You could have whole gangs of Jesuses fighting religious and racial wars against one another.

If I were younger, I'd want Jesus to battle C3PO. Then I'd make him battle Darth Vader. And just as he was about to make the final blow (with his robotic arm), Darth would say:

"Jesus, I am your father."

And Jesus would say:

"Father, why have you forsaken me?"

And best of all, Boba Fett and Han Solo could get to be disciples. Life is good.
