A New York art gallery has canceled the exhibition of a chocolate sculpture of Jesus Christ, not because angry Roman Catholic leaders protested, but because a small four year old girl bit the head off the chocolate Jesus.
"The chocolate Jesus wasn't really meant to be eaten," said James Knowles, president of the Roger Smith Hotel housing the gallery, "It was an art piece."
The Easter-season exhibit of a life-size chocolate piece of art representing Jesus Christ, which was scheduled to open on Monday, has been called off after causing controversy among the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights who called for a boycott.
"Our Lord and Savior was not a tasty treat and certainly was not chocolate colored." said Bill Donohue, president of the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights. "Maybe if they had made him out of white chocolate it would be okay."
When asked to make a statement the young girl said only, "Chocy-Yum!" and then offered to share the rest of Jesus with her daddy.

Note: I tell ya, he certainly looks like a shade of milk chocolate to me.
And according to most of the propoganda(example; average painting of the one in Question) he is!
Then I've also heard of some who favor the Dark Belgian chocolate version and it's
history.(ie; Jesus was black)
I freaken don't know, but he does seem tasty either way.
(By the way, I think he looks "Mexican or vaguely Puerto Rican"!)
Go here to find out an assortment of tasty "Chocolate Fantasies."
Odd thing though, here he is pink chocolate and Quite waspy!
