Jesus was Way Cool

Apparently this is no joke (but who could know for sure) but a publisher of school books in India has accidently included a photo of Jesus with a cigarette in one hand and a beer can in the other in a handwriting book.

There has been the usual up-roar from the relevant religious spokes-people and a good deal of apologizing by the publishers.

Personally I think you have to forgive the poor guys. After all, if they are not Christians, you can hardly expect them to know a religious picture of Christ vs a satirical one. Would you know what the little mouse in the picture often drawn of Ganesh means?

Maybe just as interesting is that the picture is used to illustrate "idol"!
