Cash in

Jesus on a brick

I was reading this post over at Corrente and a thought occurred to me.

There are a lot of bat-shit-crazy people. They actually spend money on spooky religious type garbage. Click the Corrente link to see what I mean..

A North Carolina man is selling a brick that appears to feature the face of Jesus;

Families in Texas are traveling to pray around a tree at a home that appears to show the image of the Virgin Mary and the finger of God pointing to the sky,

An Indiana pet store owner says a turtle that was the only animal to survive a fire at the shop has developed an image of Satan's face on its shell.
So.. why can't you make this kind of crap and sell it? I'm serious. If it helps the crazy people really believe in God, then you're doing them a favor, right?

I suppose it would help if you had some sort of artistic talent. Think of an every day object that could host your divine image. Then figure out a way to get the image of something like Jesus, or Mary, or maybe Elvis, imprinted on the object. It can't look too realistic, and it can't look like a child drew it. It has to look like it's naturally occurring, but the unmistakable image. If you could figure out a way to make it spontaneously bleed, that's worth it's weight in gold.
