Coming Soon to a Spa~cum~Religious~Retreat Near You
What would Jesus smell like? Well, now we know.
Using religion to pimp products... ah well, at least it's a refreshing change from sex.
What kills me is that it's described as being sold through the American version of Ikea. Which of course isn't the same as being sold through Ikea, but... now I just can't help imagining a row of condemned prisoners trudging up to Golgotha shouldering flat~pack crucifixes which, upon arrival, they then have to assemble with an Alan key, with the help of some rather gruesome pictogram instructions. And then during the bit where they hum, "always look on the bright side of life" it segues into an Ikea commercial for home lighting.

* Reeks of commitment. I can't wait for the Christ Almighty! aftershave. Wear your Jesus scent strongly, as a good christian ought! And then anybody who walks into a room you've just left will whiff the air and say, "Phew! Was Jesus just in here?"
