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. |

I once had a toaster that could toast pictures of "Hello Kitty" on it. But, this is just a sick practical joke to give people. I could see how they would sell well in CA because they're all pot heads and would enjoy the pot leaf pictures and to make fun of others religious beliefs.
A friend of mine regularly gets Jesus showing up in his toast and he has an ordinary toaster! A few times he has even had the toast coming out with Mary on it, or Mary and Jesus, or Mary and Joesph. In one case, it was an entire family photo with Joesph, Mary, Jesus, all the brothers and sisters, and Joesph and Mary's parents. It was quite something.
At first I thought, this is divine. Now I'm just thinking after seeing so many that the whole Jesus brood are real show-offs and should really use the Internet or Twitter like the rest of us.
Good times, good times. Oh, she'll be back tomorrow, she never really left, you know.
I hope Mary comes back tomorrow. Nighty Night.
Mary Fields Forever. Amen
I have a friend who was disappointed that the idea had already been taken. Me, I'm holding out until I can afford the Hello Kitty toaster.
there is no God but Allah and Muhammad is his prophet.
I am the one and only (dead) Mary Fields.
You are all committing blasphemy in the eyes of our original God ZEUS! Shame on you; just because the others that came later offered better benefits, such as eternal life, streets of Gold, virgins for some, etc. is a horrible reason to forsake him. Shame be upon you all, may Zeus ask Poseidon and the gang to cause a continuing heat wave, with storms, melting glaciers and rising waters. May this event be so great that none can ignore it, let it be called "Global Warming" for it shall effect everyone between Olympus and the Underworld! 😉 (Just kidding; Noah put down that saw.)
I hate to break this to you, but Islam's about as legitimate at The Old Lady Who Lived In A Shoe. And she can't even throw hers at anyone since she lives in it.
Uncouth
I am giving you more air time than you deserve, but I wasn't quite finished and had a concert to go to.
So just so I understand, you feel like you can dictate to me when I can leave, when I can come back, and how many handles I can use and when?
I say to you, no. I can do whatever I damn well please. I enjoy the blogs and especially destroying your riduclous religious nonsense. It doesn’t’ mean I don’t respect you or love you as a fellow human, It is just good banter back and forth and since it is anonymous, nobody’s feelings are actually hurt in the real world. (Except for HS apparently, she is a psycho.)
You are foolish, uneducated and weak. And when you can win an argument with me, that will the day hell freezes over. And in the absence of hell, that will be the day it snows in San Diego.
Bless Mary Fields! And all you name stealers and trolls…..F you .
and in the absence of San Diego....well...um....Mary Fields to you!!
and Mary Fields your "concert" too, or whatever it was, maybe just you sitting in a metal folding chair in your dad's garage, listening to his antique radio play the Merle Haggard hour. Mary Fields you, you Mary Fielding Maryfielder!
Ungodly, you're kind of being a turd about this. Kindly recant your statement to Uncouth. Someone has been impersonating him as well. Please see my above statement for where I stand on this issue.
Nope, the concert was my daughter's High School Holiday concert. She is 15 and a gifted musician and artist. It was very good.
It is a shame you mind is so polluted.
Tom meet Mary, Mary, Tom Tom.
I'm sorry, Uncouth, I didn't mean all the harsh things I said. You are my best buddy ever!!
It is ok UD, you spoke the truth. Bless you for being honest.
I'm sorry too, Ungodly! You're my best buddy too! Hugs!
Seriously, watching the dialogue between Ungodly and Uncouth is better than watching Terrence and Philip.
Ok everyone, cut the Mary Fields stuff. Now. I have collected all the IP addresses of everyone claiming to be "Mary Fields" and will be sending Cease or Desist notices to each of your IP addresses tomorrow morning if there is even one more "Mary Fields" post, per California Civil Code 421(b)(12).
go ahead and try- Mary Fields.
Thank you.
@Observer- go read about Thomas Jefferson and kindly stay out of this. Sir.
Greg Stevens is the biggest moron on this entire cite – quoting California Civ. Pro. law for an online comment blog? LMAO! Someone block him, please.
but you gotta admit- it's kinda funny, especially since Observer apparently fell for it.
Well Greg, I might just have to file a FRCP 12(b)(2) motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction, coupled with a 12(g) and a 12(h)(1)(a). And if I really need to, I'll file under rule 60(b)(4). Bottom line is, good luck getting jurisdiction under the FRCP 4(k)(1)(b) Bulger Rule. And I would advise others to do the same. So, watch yourself, and don't pull a Mary Fields on us here.
I AM MARY FIELDS! FUK YOU CNN!!
Mary Fields lived by her wits and her strength. She traveled north to Ohio, settled in Toledo and worked for the Catholic convent. She formed a strong bond with Mother Amadeus. When the nuns moved to Montana and Mary learned of Mother Amadeus' failing health, she went west to help out. Having nursed Mother Amadeus back to health, she decided to stay and help build the St. Peter's mission school. She protected the nuns. Mary was a pistol-packing, hard-drinking woman, who needed nobody to fight her battles for her. When turned away from the mission because of her behavior, the nuns financed her in her own business. She opened a cafe. Mary's big heart drove her business into the ground several times because she would feed the hungry. In 1895 she found a job that suited her, as a U.S. mail coach driver for the Cascade County region of central Montana. She and her mule Moses, never missed a day, and it was in this capacity that she earned her nickname of "Stagecoach", for her unfailing reliability.
And she loved toast.
You have thus earned the nickname "asphalt" for getting trampled and then stupidly believing you're on top of the old "stagecoach."
And she loved butter on her toast.
let's see. Who would win? Mary "Stagecoach" Fields vs. Michelle "Clown Car" Duggar. It's a close call folks. I am Mary Fields.
Please remember folks. The real Mary Fields informed us all earlier that she would only answer to the name "Mrs. Fields." So I just have to ask: "Mrs. Fields, are you there?" We're waiting...
I am not Mrs. Fields. I am the real dead Mary Fields. Come back from the grave to by nice to people.
then you would know all about this: Mary Fields, also known as Stagecoach Mary, was the first African-American woman employed as a mail carrier in the United States, driving her mail route by stagecoach from Cascade, Montana to St. Peter's Mission, Montana.[citation needed] She was only the second American woman in all to work for the United States Postal Service.[1]
Born a slave circa 1832 in Hickman County, Tennessee (the exact year of her birth is uncertain) she was freed when American slavery was outlawed in 1865.[1][2] For some time she worked repairing the buildings of a school for Native American girls in Montana called Saint Peter's Mission, eventually advancing to forewoman.[1] In 1895, although approximately 60 years old, Fields was hired as a mail carrier since she was the fastest job applicant to hitch a team of six horses.[1] She drove the route with horses and a mule named Moses and never missed a day, earning the nickname "Stagecoach" for her reliability.[1][2] This was despite heavy snowfalls that sometimes made it necessary for her to deliver the mail on foot, once walking 10 miles back to the depot.[1]
When she retired she became friends with the actor Gary Cooper.[2] She was a respected public figure in Cascade, and on her birthday each year the town closed its schools to celebrate.[1] She died of liver failure in 1914 when she was a little bit over the age of 80.[2]
In the 1996 TV movie The Cherokee Kid, Fields was played by Dawnn Lewis.
Thanks Mary Fields.
I am a religious person and I think this is HYSTERICAL.
Would your name be Mary Fields, by any chance?
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
You have no idea what you're talking about. There is a God, and Heaven does exist. You won't be going there. Imagine that.
Or not.
Mary Fields knows that Thomas Jefferson is in Heaven and you will not be. The Wizard of Oz has spoken!
AND THERE NEVER WAS ANY MARY FIELDS.
I love Jesus Christ, the Lord and savior. I believe that this "Jesus toaster" is blasphemous. It is a mockery of Jesus' sacrifice for all of us.
go to hell, Mary Fields.
Blasphemy is a victimless "crime".
I am a victim.
You are a victim of Mary Fields.
For a 46 year old "man," you sure do act like a child. The result of being friends with Penn State employees at a young age? It would seem likely.
Or not.
What is the most creepy about HeavenSent is she actually logs down things people post. Apparently I must have said I was 46 at some poiint. HS, this is all virtual, I miight by 20, I might be 70. You are so strange.
Mary Fields went to Penn State. And I am 45 not 46, dumbas s. I am Mary Fields.
It's funny as hell that you actually think you're talking to heavensent.
@..... it's funny as hell because...you are Mary Fields.
Fake name. Never used it before. It's even funnier that you're bent on it as though it's going to hurt my feelings. Funny that your time has been spent trying to soil a name I made up. You on the other hand, cry like a baby when people take your names. You make it a point to post on the blogs "That wasn't my post" as if it matters. Now THAT is sad.
Nighty night, nancyboy. Karma must've worked in reverse for you, eh?
You know what I'm talking about.
at least my name is not ....... Bump.
YOU'RE AN UNBELIEVABLE IDIOT, 'UNGODLY DISCIPLINE."
@southernbluestocking
Ok, try to follow me here. You said, "YOU'RE AN UNBELIEVABLE IDIOT, 'UNGODLY DISCIPLINE."
Now, you may be referring to something I posted, or you might be referring to someone who stole my name. Therefore, please explain why you think I am an unbelievable idiot. That would really help in having a conversation.

Hey everyone, this is Maurice Fieldstein. I'm really in the dark here. WHO is Mary Fields?
I am Mary Fields.
No, I am Mary Fields!
No. You're a teenaged idiot without a girlfriend.
No Tom, Mary Fields is my girlfriend. I am Mary Fields.
No, your "girlfriend" is a sock.
That smells.
Perhaps you are correct Tom. But if so, it's a pretty sock, and its name is...Mary Fields.
