Jesus toasters selling brisklyBy Steve Walsh, CNN (CNN)–From telephone poles, to store receipts to a cheesy snack, people have claimed to see the image of Jesus Christ in all sorts of unconventional places. Others have drawn divine inspiration from what they believe is the face of the Son of God on their morning toast. A miracle? Perhaps. Or maybe it’s just toast. This holiday season, Galen Dively, a Vermont entrepreneur, is capitalizing on the hunger for Jesus crust. For $31.95, you don’t have to wait for a miracle to see Jesus on your daily bread. Look no further than the Jesus Toaster. Dively’s company, Burnt Impressions, also offers toasters that imprint images of the Virgin Mary, peace signs and pot leaves among others. Dively tells CNN affiliate WCAX right now, he’s selling 50 to 100 Jesus toasters every day. What do you think? All in good fun? Marketing gone amok? Leave your comments below. |

So people are really, really ironic, or really really stupid. Probably a healthy mix of both.
Think Jesus is offended when you crap him out?
Jesus toast ... so sad so many are still under the delusion that Jesus exists, that a deity exists ... all ancient myths. Can't we get past the myths?
Holy gag gift, Batman! This is one of things you'd use once or twice, but you'd tell people about it for years. Think about it: do you really want your toast looking back at you while you're eating it? But this article is an opportunity to reflect on all those instances where people find images in natural objects - which raises interesting questions. http://gettingholdofgod.wordpress.com/
I guess I have an atheist toaster. It toast a picture of nothing!
I think it was funny that the woman in the video thought the image of Jesus was an image of Bib Laden!!

TRASH ALERT – don't bother viewing this garbage, click the report abuse link to get rid of this stupid TROLL!
I would be impressed if Chuck Norris appeared on my toast
Grandma, are your there? got your toaster with your face on it!
I wish someone would come up with "Jesus Potato Chips" so I'll have an excuse for being fat. "It's not my fault, I just keep eating Jesus". Jesus toast is a harmless and cute idea. Odd, but cute.
This is one of the tackiest things I have seen in a long time.
I think it reflects a dry, crisp sort of humor!
If they had called this product "Our Daily Bread" I might have bought one.
+1
Where in the Bible did Jesus say, "Eat me!?" Oh, wait...I guess it was at the last supper.
jesus toast? hilarious.
JESUS CHRISP!
Great marketing idea.
If you don't have one of these toasters, you're a socialist who hates America. Police will be by to check your toaster soon.
A Toaster the only source of comfort to the poor old, lonely ladies of this blog!
Buy your grandma a toaster for the holidays with her face on it and see her grin like never before!
Now careful with that toaster gift for these grandmas here, those dentures might fall off and that face might get stiff!
slow newsday, huh?
this is complete drivel, like the rest of the belief blog. i can't believe CNN recommended this to anyone.
Equal opportunity toast: (from a PowerPoint slide)
THERE NEVER WERE AND NEVER WILL BE ANY ANGELS I.E. NO GABRIEL, NO ISLAM AND THEREFORE NO MORE KORANIC-DRIVEN ACTS OF HORROR AND TERROR LIKE 9/11.
THERE WERE NEVER ANY BODILY RESURRECTIONS AND THERE WILL NEVER BE ANY BODILY RESURRECTIONS I.E. NO EASTER, NO CHRISTIANITY.
ABRAHAM AND MOSES PROBABLY NEVER EXISTED
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
the best opportunity would be to hit report abuse on all reality bull sh it
The Flying Spaghetti Monster is real, however. All heil in his noodly goodness!
stop shouting we can hear you up here in heaven.
I want a toaster that has imprints of Images of the Prophet Mohamed. I think it would be hilarious to give to my brothers.
WOuldn't they have to kill you then? That seems to be all the rage, given how an awful lot of Muslims reacted when a bunch of cartoons were created.
Hey, we deserve equal time. When are the imprints of Rabies, Moses, Dreidels, and Menorahs going to be available.
Haim,
You might want to rewrite your comments.
Rabies leaves an imprint on toast?
Sorry, but apparently your religion isn't popular enough.
If you want to name prophets/deities from other religions, you might want to expend the energy to look them up first as you are obviously an uneducated buffoon.
