To compare a statue of any religion to a condom is ignorant and sacreligious. To even mention Jesus, whether you are Christian or not, is disgusting. The man died for his beliefs. I like a good joke like anyone else, but not this kind. Bad taste.
And it also seems like the photographer’s done a naughty little plagaristic deed; this reminds me of Virgin in a Condom , a very controversial piece of “art” that a local artist put in Te Papa (New Zealand’s national museum), which featured a statue of Mary inside a condom.
Or it could just be an original thought from the bad taste part of the collective unconscious.
You’re obviously not. This is blasphemy, and if you’re really any kind of Catholic, you’d be ashamed of yourself for saying that. Blasphemy is one of the Ten Commandments, Lisa, and you’re either lying through your teeth or you need to go back to church and ask an elder to explain blasphemy to you.
Blasphemy is not of one of the ten commandments. Perhaps you’re referring to the super-secret eleventh commandment – “Thou shalt make an ass of himself on the internet — whatever that is”
NOONE IS WORSHIPIN A CONDOM IT IS WRONG TO COMPARE A CONDOM TO MARY BUT THAN AGAIN THE ONLY THING SHE DID WAS GIVE BIRTH TO JESUS, I DONT ITS RIGHT TO COMPARE SOMETHING LIKE THAT TO MARY BUT THAN AGIAN IT IS FUNNY
Seriously? From a religion that thinks it’s okay to kill people who don’t view things in the same way they do, you can’t take a little joke? People like you shouldn’t avoid the internet and stay in your little closed minded boxes. Don’t ruin our fun just cuz you live a life of misery.
Ok, where does it say in the Bible it is okay to kill people who don’t Believe in Jesus, I’m a Christian, and I don’t think Catholics believe it’s okay too kill people either. Are you stupid or just ignorant? P.S. It’s radical muslims that believe that it is okay to kill people that don’t believe what you do.
27But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.
And my other favorite:
Matthew 19:29 (King James Version)
29And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.
That happens when people only look for one line in a book that looks contradictory and put no effort at all into the rest of the book to see if they’re making a fool of themselves.
Actually, it’s fail. She didn’t even read to see what the verse referred to, or even who was speaking to whom. She took it out of context to fit her own agenda.
Its radical ‘anyones’ that believe that it is okay to kill people that don’t believe what you do. Ie: that freak and murderer Rotor that got convicted this week.
In the Medieval periods during the Church Reform, if a single word was spoken to a church official that you had said something (Even if it wasn’t true) that was considered to be against God or against the Church, you were immediately taken and tortured, either until you confessed, or died.
Now, I agree with Lisa two comments (or is it one?) above me. Lighten up and don’t be so “You will go to hell for laughing at this!” I’m Christian too, but you don’t see me saying people can’t laugh at things.
One thing I’m confused about is Illaxius’s comment about a religion that thinks it’s okay to kill people. I don’t know what religion you’re talking about, but I’m guessing Christianity. Umm, from what I’ve learned in my church, killing somebody is NOT good. In fact it’s a sin. There may be some…extreme people out there doing stuff like that, but don’t group everybody in the religion with some of the crazies.
No one said anyone was going to hell. But I, as a Christian, am not going to laugh at a picture of a condom that looks like Jesus’s mother if I believe he exists. You wouldn’t laugh at a picture of your grandma like that if your dad was in the room, would you? It’s just common sense. I don’t see the humor because the Virgin Mary is a religious icon to me, an important part of my history, and not everything that people stick on the internet with a witty caption is actually funny. Sorry if my radical views are scaring you all, but this pic isn’t amusing to me.
And the thing is, in the Commandments, it says not to kill, but the Jews killed people in WARS for God. Now, isn’t it illegal to kill in the United States? Yes! Do U.S. citizens go overseas and shoot down other human beings in the name of their country? Yes! So where’s the contradiction here? In religion? Or in humanity?
ok, so you wouldn’t laugh at this, doesn’t mean you can judge other peoples opinions on what makes it funny. you think its in bad taste and its disrespectful then stop looking at it?
Ruin your fun by enacting a Consitutional right to freedom of religion? I’m sorry, Hitler. We’ll laugh. Don’t put us in the chambers! If someone’s living a “life of misery” because they don’t like seeing their religions icons subject to immature jokes, you need to go look up the word “misery” because what you just said made no sense and you, sir, have failed. There’s a huge difference between “close minded” and “offended” So if I put a picture of a condom on the internet that looked just like your mother or daughter or wife, you have no right to be insulted, correct?
however, normal latex u wear on your hands as gloves or play with as a bollon, not on your penis for protect sex, andf the fact that this is on mary is awful.
There was an apparently little known movement called the protestant reformation that disagrees with that statement. There’s 95 theses up in this now, kids.
are you serious?? do you know ANYTHING???? there is absolutely, no doubt, that he existed. ANY historian, christian or non-christian, will be able to tell you that jesus existed. there is more historical evidence for the existence of jesus than the existence of ANY other historical figure.
it’s not a question of whether or not he existed, it’s a question of whether or not he was a lunatic.
Wow, your ignorance of the history of your own religion is truly awe inspiring.
There is no mention of Jesus in any of the Roman texts of the time, or of Christians until almost 100 years after his supposed death. The first mention of Jesus is from a very inaccurate history written by a convert named Josephus in 70 AD. Pontius Pilate and the Herod mentioned in the New Testament didn’t actually rule at the same time. The geography of the books of the New Testament is so bad that the writers had obviously never lived in the region, and probably had never even visited the area. And the big census of “the whole world” ordered by Cesar, which caused Mary to give birth in Bethlehem? Never happened. For that matter Jesus didn’t live in Nazareth, since no one lived in that site until 350 AD. It was a cemetery at the time, “Jesus the Nazarene” is a mistranslation of “Jesse, the Branch” (the inheritor of the prophet Jesse) by someone unfamiliar with Aramaic idioms.
“ANY other historical figure.”
Sorry matt, I think there is a bit more evidence for the existence of at least a few historical figures, such as Abraham Lincoln, Julius Cesar, Sun Tzu, or Marco Polo, than there is for Jesus.
Ah, it’s so good to be Buddhist, where there’s no such thing as a sacrilege. I could stick a Buddha statue in the bottom of my toilet and it wouldn’t matter. For all I care, I agree with atheism and say that sacrilege is a victimless crime.
:: sniffle :: someone said mean things about somebody else, how awful. Wasn’t part of him dying; the gift of freewill? I exercise that in saying this picture is hilarious!
Yeah. I’m sure everyone who disagrees with this was “born offended”. It’s not like they were having a fine day with no offenses and then saw something offensive and got mad about it.
How do you know they take “everything” seriously? Have you followed that person around and seen that they’re constantly offended? What if this is the only thing that offended them all day?
But yeah, guys, don’t get offended at anything. Not one single thing, because if you do, efrel will blow it out of proportion and insult you. It’s ok. He’s just easily offended.
Is it just me, or is Miirkaelisaar offended at efrel’s comment? Efrel’s accusation of some people constantly being offended seems pretty valid after Miirkaelisaar got MORE offended after reading it.
“Do unto others as you would have done unto you.”
Ah the line that EVERY Christian forgets. Especially when it comes to stupid shit like this! Its just a simple coincidence for crying out loud! Its not like they had a picture of the virgin Mary next to them and thought “Hmm.. I wonder if I can make a condom look like this.” (Who knows. With people these days I wouldn’t put it past them.) But seriously. If you can’t take the joke. Don’t come to the site.
It’s why humans see faces and such in things like oil stains and toast and used condoms. It’s not religious. It’s not a miracle. It’s just that our brains are good at recognizing certain shapes even when we’re wrong about it.
I did not find the picture as funny as i found your comments. This includes most everyone. Why on earth would you argue with someone over a blog? A blog that I am sure you knew might be offensive. Religion is a personal thing. Why you would bring it here of all places…… i will never know. I am surrounded by idiots. The End.
Very sacreligious.
I’m not usually uptight about condom jokes and all, but thats not cool.
A used condom in a classroom compared to the Virgin Mary just makes me feel sickish.
Awesome! And to those of you who are offended…for hell’s sake pull your head out and live a little bit! It’s a funny picture, not some bleeding martyr saying he’s Jesus resurrected and crucifying himself again. Good hell.
BTW….yes, I believe that IS in a classroom and THAT, is one helluva pic!
The classroom’s upside down because the guy’s holding the condom hanging from his hand. How many condoms will stand upright on their own? And I’m guessing this was following the old ‘put the condom on the banana’ lesson =P So the situation’s probably pretty innocent!
Many quotes here and references to Catholicsor Christians killing those who doen’t believe.
Man was created with free will; meaning God allows us to make our own decisions, However, We have used this “gift” to use it against our fellow man in many perverted ways. We can’t blame God or the church for what a few ignorants “believe” to be the right way to deal with non-believers or those who aren’t in agreement with the majority.
Well arent you people respectful of others religion! Im a Christian, and i believe this is kind of funny. ALTHOUGH some of you people should try to be a little nicer towards people who may not think of this as funny.
I suspect, that Jesus used the condom.
To compare a statue of any religion to a condom is ignorant and sacreligious. To even mention Jesus, whether you are Christian or not, is disgusting. The man died for his beliefs. I like a good joke like anyone else, but not this kind. Bad taste.
Yep.

Lady, I’m Catholic and I have no problem with this. Lighten up.
You’re obviously not. This is blasphemy, and if you’re really any kind of Catholic, you’d be ashamed of yourself for saying that. Blasphemy is one of the Ten Commandments, Lisa, and you’re either lying through your teeth or you need to go back to church and ask an elder to explain blasphemy to you.
seriously, chillax.
I’m Christian, have been since birth. and I think it’s kind of funny.
Blasphemy is not of one of the ten commandments. Perhaps you’re referring to the super-secret eleventh commandment – “Thou shalt make an ass of himself on the internet — whatever that is”
According to George Carlin, the Eleventh Commandment is: Thou Shalt Not Wanna. And he should know: He went to Catholic School!
Actually it is blasphemy to worship any graven image. (That would be the second one on the commandment list.)

Nice misquotes.
Or should I say quoting out of context.
That happens when people only look for one line in a book that looks contradictory and put no effort at all into the rest of the book to see if they’re making a fool of themselves.
LOL! Total and complete WIN! You, madam, are awesome.
Actually, it’s fail. She didn’t even read to see what the verse referred to, or even who was speaking to whom. She took it out of context to fit her own agenda.

No he didn’t. He didn’t exist.

Sorry matt, I think there is a bit more evidence for the existence of at least a few historical figures, such as Abraham Lincoln, Julius Cesar, Sun Tzu, or Marco Polo, than there is for Jesus.
I’m sorry Brian but I don’t think that Matt had said his religion at all in that post.
You’re right, Blargle. This small oversight obviously invalidates BrianB’s entire point.
Ah, it’s so good to be Buddhist, where there’s no such thing as a sacrilege. I could stick a Buddha statue in the bottom of my toilet and it wouldn’t matter. For all I care, I agree with atheism and say that sacrilege is a victimless crime.
Ah yeah, funny pic.
Amen!!
calm down.. jesus wasn’t real !
A lot of people have died for their beliefs. Not just Jesus. A lot of people have died for their religious beliefs.
:: sniffle :: someone said mean things about somebody else, how awful. Wasn’t part of him dying; the gift of freewill? I exercise that in saying this picture is hilarious!
I thought it was a plastic bag!
For virgin use only…
Eww… is that used!?
Is that a used condom in a classroom?
Wouldn’t have helped her anyway.
She didn’t need help. She needed it when she watched her son suffer to death. As a parent, I couldn’t imagine that. Not funny.
Jesus would have laughed.
Ahahahaha, you’re so funny. Cheer up a bit, there is no reason why you should treat everything so seriously.
Gosh, some people are just born offended.
Yeah. I’m sure everyone who disagrees with this was “born offended”. It’s not like they were having a fine day with no offenses and then saw something offensive and got mad about it.
How do you know they take “everything” seriously? Have you followed that person around and seen that they’re constantly offended? What if this is the only thing that offended them all day?

Are you in a friggin’ classroom?
is that in a classroom?
O_o
“Wouldn’t have helped her anyway.”
Brilliant!
Dumb.
Um, why are you in a class room with a used condom?
she is the living example that abstinence is only 99.9% effective
it was a MIRACLE
Don’t fear god’s love – he’s only gotten one chick pregnant so far!
Really, is the background all people can think about?
God should have used that with her
Your parents should have used it with you.
perhaps nancy needs to calm the fuck down and go to a website that is more her speed.
“Do unto others as you would have done unto you.”
Ah the line that EVERY Christian forgets. Especially when it comes to stupid shit like this! Its just a simple coincidence for crying out loud!

But seriously. If you can’t take the joke. Don’t come to the site.
Why would you take a picture of a used condom unless there was a reason like this?
You should have used your brain. Oh wait… you put your faith where your brain used to be.
For the love of God, I hope this is a Sex Ed. class…
ooooooooooo….
1 ticket, plz…..
hey, why they stuck the tables to the ceiling?
OH MY…..goodness.
Im amused it got to now before anyone pointed it out
***cue angry catholics***
“It’s time to suit up!” *Looks down* Oh My God! My condom looks like the virgin Mary… I guess we can’t use it eh?
After this picture was taken, Catholics lined up to pray to it.
Quite ironic!

You forgot to capitalize an I. Proof-reading ftw. Don’t assume your superior or your bound to be proved wrong by a tittle
.
You’re, not your, on two occasions.
Title, not tittle.
Don’t correct another person’s grammar or spelling unless yours is perfect.
Very sacreligious.
I’m not usually uptight about condom jokes and all, but thats not cool.
A used condom in a classroom compared to the Virgin Mary just makes me feel sickish.
Not done in good taste . . . but ironic, hence it’s perfect for this site!
Awesome! And to those of you who are offended…for hell’s sake pull your head out and live a little bit! It’s a funny picture, not some bleeding martyr saying he’s Jesus resurrected and crucifying himself again. Good hell.
BTW….yes, I believe that IS in a classroom and THAT, is one helluva pic!
condoms… 99.9% effective
Jesus=0.1%
Condoms are only 92/93 percent effective…
99.9% + 0.1% =/= 100%
Um…yes, it does. o_O
The Blessed Virgin Mary brand of Condoms!
“Because even Abstinence isn’t 100% Effective”.
B Diz, i don’t know what you’re talking about, because that’s exactly what I’m doing.
Oh my GOD! That looks like the Catholic school I went to!
Maybe its Father Boyboffers’ classroom.
Does anyone else notice the picture is in a classroom? I wonder what they teach in there.
Ev’ry sperm is sacred,
Ev’ry sperm is great!
If your sperm is wasted
God gets quite irate.
The classroom’s upside down because the guy’s holding the condom hanging from his hand. How many condoms will stand upright on their own? And I’m guessing this was following the old ‘put the condom on the banana’ lesson =P So the situation’s probably pretty innocent!
A dried up used one! UGH!
I say screw the condom JUST GO FOR IT!
“According to my beliefs, this is racist.”
Yeah well, according to my beliefs, STFU.
WHY! do you have a condom in a class room?
Health class. Duh.

Well arent you people respectful of others religion! Im a Christian, and i believe this is kind of funny. ALTHOUGH some of you people should try to be a little nicer towards people who may not think of this as funny.
I don’t know about you but I’m more interested to know why there’s a guy holding up a used condom in an empty classroom.
@Miirkaelisaar
You forget that as a good Christian, you must be tolerant.
asshole
