"Greggs the bakers has apologised for swapping Jesus for a sausage roll in a promotional image for its advent calendar."

"It shows a nativity scene with three wise men gathered around a pastry instead of Christ.... Greggs has apologised for the image, saying it hadn't planned to upset anyone."

Reports BBC.

Sacrilicious.

It seems some Jews were offended by the fact that Jesus, a Jew, was depicted by a pork product. At least Greggs could have cut the tip off the sausage roll.

Ricky Gervais response: Deeply offensive, everyone knows Jesus is made of bread and wine.

What is it with bakers that makes them so controversial?

Oberlin College and its vice president have been accused of libel and slander by a local bakery, the owners of which allege in a suit that administrators supported students in an unfounded campaign to paint the establishment's owners as racist.

The suit against the college and Meredith Raimondo, who is also dean of students, was filed on Nov. 7 in Lorain County Common Pleas Court on behalf of Gibson Bros. Inc., and owners David and Allyn Gibson, the Morning Journal reported.

The complaint comes a year after Oberlin College students held a massive protest in front of Gibson's Food Mart and Bakery, in response to three of their peers being arrested and charged with shoplifting.

Well they got at least one thing right.

If there are three guys gathered around a pastry, they are certainly wise.

Hope there was coffee too!

The only solution is for the UK to make DJT PM.

Only he can win the War on Christmas.

[Technically, if Jesus was reincarnated, he may also be able to win the war. But, it's best to go w/ the sure thing: the OJ: the Orange Jesus.]

You can find the story without the link: I got it via DuckDuckGo (I won't support the Google fascists) with Greggs sausage Jesus.

If you looked at the photo, you would see it was missing the tip. (It looks bitten, not cut, though.)

Technically, Jews don't cut the tip off.

OTOH, I can confirm that some gal-Jews can get a little toothy. But, not biting.



Just sayin'

Ecuador is, basically, the opposite of Jewishness.

Plus, bobbing it is different than biting it.

Now that’s funny!
