File this in the: Why is this news? category.
Yet another person has found a food item that looks like Jesus. This time it's a potato chip. I am mildly fascinated by the epidemic of Jesus and Mary food stuffs. The first one or two were funny, but now they are regular occurrences. One can find a minor abundance of such items on eBay.
So here's a solution for the poor confused woman. Her choices are:
- Eat it.
- Sell it on eBay.
- Enshrine it in her home and bore the hell out of her friends and family by telling the amazing story of how she opened a bag of chips and there was Jesus.
One thing I do love about this particular chip is the seething undercurrent of oneupmanship in the sibling rivalry department. It is Very Old Testament.
Rosalie and Jerry Lawson have an eye for collectibles. Their home in Shore Acres is filled with family heirlooms, holiday displays, Gone with the Wind memorabilia, reproductions of Chrysler's PT Cruiser.
They're no strangers to religious iconography. The couple are active Episcopalians - Jerry Lawson's father, the Very Rev. LeRoy Lawson, was the first dean of St. Peter's Cathedral.
One Valentine's Day, her brother found a heart-shaped potato chip, but no one in the family had ever seen what emerged from a bag of Lay's sour cream and onion potato chips a couple of weeks ago: an oval measuring roughly 11/2 inches in diameter, in which Rosalie Lawson saw the image of Jesus Christ.
