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. |

The Father, the Son, and the Holy Toast.
Awesome!
PRETTY MUCH THE ONLY THING JESUS IS GOOD FOR
I want a "buddy christ" toaster
I'll make sure my toast is WELL DONE!
I think he has the wrong market for his technology. Jesus? Pot leaves? If he doesn't sell to parents who want to make cute breakfasts for their adorable toddlers, then he is missing a real market. Try an animal motif (appeals to both girls or boys) or a dump truck (let's dump the load into the landfill). Or stick with an educational theme for the Baby Einstein market (numbers, dots, shapes). Who else would want such a novelty gadget?
...a Hello Kitty toaster on the market.
Further possibilities are endless. This is a whole new product line.
Someone is sure to figure out a toaster with which you can make your own designs.
"Or stick with an educational theme for the Baby Einstein market "
Why Baby Einstein? Make Albert Toast.
Hmm they'll have to change the song to Jesus was a Toast Maker.. not that there's a single other Judee Sill fan out trolling the interwebz >.>
Hey buddy, Jesus was a "Soul Man".
At least this one comes out only a bit white. Like there were white people in that part of the wold back in the day any ways. What some people believe???
Does this mean that when I go to church Sunday and make the sign of the cross I am suppose to say, "In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Toast"?
Forever and ever, ramen.
Jesus is in your toaster, right by your side at home, than in some Church full of Sunday Christians and the wicked like GOP and tea bag retards.
Read your Bible. The Son of the Living God said: "The Lord is within THEE".
I'm holding out for Gingrich waffles and Romney flip-flops.
Love that.
Amazing....
How would like it?
How would you like it?
ArmorOfGod:
Maybe because I actually read the Bible and look into history, Dude.
Did you understand what you read?
Wanna have a little fun?
Buy one for a fundamentalist friend as a Christmas gift, but put it in a plain box so's they don't know exactly what it is.
"MARTHA!! COME LOOK!!!..."
It's marketing and in home church you can have your own communion hosts made to order.
idiots who complain about this, why dont you invent a playboy bunny toaster then your mouth will water to soften up the toast.
It should come with instructions to only use it while taking a bath
What about a credit card with a picture of Jesus?
it may help bring down personal debt, you know.
Jesus does not approve CREDIT cards and earthly things. Only in greedy America do you need all these greedy earthly things to even exist as a human being.
Don't they eat body of Jesus flat bread in church for communion? This is no more macabre than statues of a guy nailed to across on every living room, bedroom wall and auto dashboard of practicing Catholics.
A little reminder of your Jesus with butter and jam in the morning isn’t a bad thing.
Get a life. Anyone over the age of 12 has got to wonder about this fairy tale the church has used as a control mechanism for 2000 years anyway.
Body stands for your acceptance of the christian faith. You show signs of little understanding of what it means.
Say what??????????????????????????
Funny, a buddy and I had this very same idea just a few months ago.
Instead of selling the toaster, though, this guy should have sold the pieces of toast on ebay. There's a sucker born every minute I hear.
this is so crazy
I HEART JESUS FREAKS i should get on for myself!!!!!!!!!
Whaaaaaat?
@bayle; I didn't get it. Run that by me again?
BNB42: God is sounding the warning through his earthly messengers, but unfortunately most are failing to listen. This was true in Jesus day and we should expect nothing different now. I hope all you mockers one day see the light cause it is your lives we are talking about.
Peace Out
i totally agree!!!!!
"""God is sounding the warning through his earthly messengers, but unfortunately most are failing to listen."""
Maybe god oughta upgrade his system. Geez, you'd think with all that omniscience he'd get the word out a little better.
No offense or mockery meant at all. It's just that a lot of us really have problems with the idea of this totally loving God condemning people to eternal torment simply because they make a cognitive error.
Dude, it's been TWO THOUSAND YEARS. And in every single one of those years "his earthly messengers" have been pushing their brain less pablum and raking in their loot from the weak-minded suckers who fall for their baloney. Don't you get it yet? IT'S A SCAM! He ain't never comin' back, my friend, because HE'S DEAD!
