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. |

This is a twisted idea.
This is what's wrong with America.
Bet the toasters are made in China to boot.
Go back to your bunch, you're better off there.
I would hazard to say there are thing far more twisted in the world than this. Ruining our environment, continuing to develop even more dangerous WMDs, favouring oil over sustainable energy and telling people in Africa that condoms are worse than AIDS comes to mind.
I know my toaster is from China.... It does Chairman Mao
No way. It's one thing to have some folks get all worked up about some random pattern that just so happens to, with some mental creativity, look like Jesus or Mary, but I didn't think you could actually sell something like that. I'm so making a Jesus pancake/waffle maker and Virgin Mary tortilla grill. Speaking of B-S, has anyone created a "Talks-in-tongues" app?
Disillusioned words like bullets bark
As human gods aim for their mark
Make everything from toy guns that spark
To flesh-colored Christs that glow in the dark
It’s easy to see without looking too far
That not much is really sacred
Beat ya to it JPR, but yeah, that's the first thing I thought of too! Or the "Christs for Sale" scene in the awesome Jodorowsky classic "Holy Mountain" where they get the Thief passed out drunk and make thousands of life-sized casts of his body as Jesus made out of cake . I want one of those under my tree this year!
This toaster in the image of Jesus would be great if you are eating a hot cross bun
Outstanding!
those toasters are pretty awesome

I'm waiting for the Mohammad one.
Jesus – he's the toast of the town again.....
LOL DUUUUUUUUUUUDE
I cannot believe that so-called Christians would eat butter and jelly on their Jesus toast. For a true Christian all they need is Jesus. The butter and jelly are false gods.
...and we know what Jesus looked like because?
he came to the evangelicals in their dreams. so they know exactly what he looks like. white with a proper british accent.
Look up Heywood Banks on YouTube. Watch "Toast" and "Big Butter Jesus". It pretty much sums it all up.
My 11 yr old son loves Big Butter Jesus...he knows the words by heart! LOL 🙂
I saw Jesus in my Starbucks coffee froth!
Coming next the Allah pita bread toaster!
DON'T say that! The rats will riot for sure if their precious Mohammad starts showing up in breakfast food lol
TASTELESS!!!!!! Nothing to see here folks........move on.......
Tasteles????? More like DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!
Tasteless? Blame the bread, not the toaster.
I can't believe I didn't think of that... I'm going to be laughing for a week at some of these comments...
What if the image on your toast from the Jesus Toaster looks like the devil?
Somehow, biting into a buttered Jesus doesn't thrill me.
Next he should invent a carafe that turns water into wine.
Been done. It's called a fermentor. Some people's kids...
I see dead people : (
give them 3 days
Assuming it's Christians buying these, so much for that whole graven image stuff. "You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below." Exodus 20:4
Amen.....
lol Frank, how about:
While they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, "Take and eat; this is my body."
... You shall not bow down to them or worship them" Way to edit history, creep. I don't think anyone's worshiping toast.
How about one that writes T O A S T. and then PLACE BUTTER PAT HERE AND SPREAD. Then on the back "CAUTION MAY BE HOT". Thank you.
I find that offensive. As a Jew I would think that Jews would be more inclined to buy Jesus Toasters... because, well, we have a better sense of humor hey no bang zoom. (cue anti-israel sentiments and anti-semitic Israels woohoo bring it!) Christ I need a drink and a nap. Ok back to work.
thats the old testament. that was for Jesus himself to follow, not for his followers (christians). go figure.
