I suppose it was just a matter of time before someone came up with this idea.
If you remember all of the hoopla surrounding the supposed image of Virgin Mary that was burned into the bread of a grilled cheese sandwichabout 6 years ago (and was later sold on eBay for about $28,000.00), a company called Burnt Offerings is now manufacturing a toaster that will burn the image of Jesus Christ on all of your bread in their “Jesus Toaster”.
As I delve in to this phenomena some more, it seems that there are all kinds of toasters available that will burn any image you can think of into your toast, from football team logos to messages of peace and happiness. Who knew that the phenomena of pareidolia has become quite the marketing gimmick?
Now get out there and spread the word!
Ah, Evan, but sliced bread is such an imperfect medium for art. No two pieces of Jesus-charred toast from the Jesus Toaster (TM) will look identical, which leaves one to wonder: How long will it be before someone comes forward with claims that his piece of Jesus toast from his Jesus Toaster (TM) is divinely marked with an image of Mary? Somewhere in there. In Jesus’ face.
If you drop the toast, does it always land savior-side-up?
This is nothing new. My toaster has burned images of the Invisible Pink Unicorn onto my toast for as long as I can remember.
Minor nitpick: ‘Phenomena’ is plural, ‘phenomenon’ is singular.
In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Toast.
This is not as impressive as a Cylon toaster.
