7/11/06 - KTRK/HOUSTON) - Sophisticated graffiti artists have left their mark near downtown Houston.
It shows Jesus holding a Budweiser in between the phrases "Jesus, King of Jews" and "Jesus, King of Beers."
"I thought that was just crazy," said commuter Jose Cazares. "It looks professional too."
Neighbors say the billboard has been up there for a week or more.
WWJD?
Open it and take long drink, what do you think he would do?
He sure as heck wouldn't drink Bud.
I'm offended! Let's riot and burn cars! ...............
He'd say, "Who turned this water into whine?"..........
I would think that Bud would not be happy about that. Not a particularly good advertising strategy.
Home brew. What else?
Everyone knows that Jesus preferred wine.
But when the Son of Man turned water into wine it was REAL GOOD wine.
Anyone heard Toby Keith's tune "If I Was Jesus"?
If I Was Jesus, I'd have some real long hair A robe and some sandals, is exactly what I'd wear I'd be the guy at the party, turnin' water to wine Yeah me and my disciples, we'd have a real good time.
Ooh and I'd lay my life down for you (woooooh) And I show you who's the boss (woooooh) I'd forgive you and adore you While I was hangin' on your cross If I Was Jesus.
I'd have some friends that were poor I'd run around with the wrong crowd, man I'd never be bored Then I'd heal me a blind man, get myself crucified By politicians and preachers, who got somethin' to hide.
Ooh and I'd lay my life down for you (woooooh) And I show you who's the boss (woooooh) I'd forgive you and adore you While I was hangin' on your cross If I Was Jesus.
If I Was Jesus, I'd come back from the dead And I'd walk on some water, just to mess with your head I know your dark little secrets, I'd look you right in the face And I'd tell you I love you, with Amazing Grace.
Ooh and I'd lay my life down for you (woooooh) And I show you who's the boss (woooooh) I'd forgive you and adore you While I was hangin' on your cross If I Was Jesus.
In this view the word "Jesus" does not appear.
It seems that the phrase on the left is intended to be associated with His picture and the beer associated with the phrase on the right.
With apologies to those that are offended; this cracks me up. Count me out of the rioting and car burning.
I wish all graffiti around town was as sophisticated as this.
Ever take into consideration just how much water Jesus turned into wine? A house water jar of the time was about up to the chest of the people of the era. Even though they were shorter than today's people, six water jars was a lot of wine!.......
AW C'MON! That's the best part! Senseless destruction and mayhem and no guilt!.........
He sure as heck wouldn't drink Bud.
He turned water into wine. Maybe he could turn Bud into something decent. It would take a miracle to do that.
Now, that's a very involved prank. Imagine creating a billboard-sized image, then getting it installed over an existing billboard.
You have to admire the effort, even if you don't like the billboard.
Still, I doubt that Jesus drank beer. But, you never know.
LOLROF! good one.
