Please ping your Christian lists and get some kind of protest going against this company. This is really low.

You are saying the Jesus pictures appear by itself right? Not with bacon or martinis on the same paper? So what is the problem then? No problem unless the picture is especially unflattering or disrespectful right?

What are you doing with a Urban Outfitters catalog in the first place?

This crap company's main customers are the "Colishin' o' da Chillin'" anyway.

Does their idea of "values" surprise you?

[Rebelbase]

Jesus assoicated with trash.

They've got Xmas wrap with a hand flipping the bird. Yeah, that's how I want my gifts wrapped.

I'm a non-Christian, such as yourself.  And frankly, I'm starting to get pissed off about the way the Christian faith and followers are being treated by ignorant snobs now-a-days.

But I actually view Urban Outfitters treatment of Christ as not being all that bad:  I look at it this way - they're accidentally keeping the image of Christ out there amongst the teen-set customers.

Maybe many of the customers at Urban Outfitters would find the wrapping humorous...or mocking.....but if it helps - just by planting the image out in public - to bring one person to Christ, I have the feeling that most Christians would accept it.

(Ironically, I walk past Urban Outfitters, Seattle every day too and from work.)

not surprising, Urban Outfitter ( and most of their patrons ) have a dim view of Christianity, and Jesus.

this ( or something like it ) in their stores for quite some time.

Ping to protest this:

"Jesus" gift wrap sold as kitsch between sushi and bacon strip wrap.

They wouldn't DARE do this to Jewish holy things; let's not let them do it to our Christian brothers.

[durasell]

Uh, Richard Hayne, the Chairman and President of Urban Outfitters is a staunch Republican and supporter of our President. You might want to re-think that.

[Thumper1960]

At least they got it right by having Jesus associated with Christmas, and not some fat dude who hangs out with little people in a commune north of Quebec.

[dangus]

I dunno... I don't have a problem with the wrapping paper itself... I just would be concerned what Urban Outfitter gifts they are wrapping with it.

[PowerPro]

I am a Christian and I am deeply offended that the culture feels well within bounds to trash my faith.

I am also offended that candidates from the left feel that they can swindle me into believing they share my values simply because they use the word "GOD" during the last two weeks of a campaign.

I am further enraged by the liberal left columnists who compared Christians who voted for Bush (fundies) to Islamofascists who killed 3,000 Americans and continue to wreak havoc in the Middle East.

The beat goes on. I hope that the Christians in America have opened their eyes. None of the things that Christians claim to be against in America (abortion, homosexuals blatantly flaunting themselves, the eradication of all things remotely Christian from "public" places, etc.) could go on without the Christians approval. We have been run over by nuts on the Left because we buy into their propaganda or we refuse to stand up. I've heard people in my own church say things like:

"I don't need to see the Ten Commandments in public to obey them."

"If gays want to marry that's their business - it's between them and God."

Wake up fools.
