Morrissey shrine on eBay
posted by davidt on Wednesday September 15 2004, @08:00AM

Morrissey Shrine - eBay item #3748734223

This is a 100% unique item. It's a wooden box with hinges. It's nice and aged. It reads "Holy Bible" on the front so I can only assume it was used to store a bible in. Upon opening it it's a tiny Morrissey shrine. Jesus is collaged on one side with Moz on the other. It's a totaly unique piece with a little american, folk art feel. Looks good with a bunch of votive candles in front of it.

          Give me a break. A photo of Moz, framed, yes = beautiful.
          But a photo in a shrine opposite christ? THis just gives people fodder to further make fun of and stereotype Morrissey fans. If Moz saw this himself, I bet he'd throw up. THink about it.

          Whether you believe in christ or not, it's just plain weird. What next, a chewed piece of gum on ebay, just like britney spears?

            Actually the Christian debt management company (www.christiandebthelpers.com) that spammed me recently might also consider launching a Morrissey themed debt management service.

            Who could resist the charms of such corporate crapola?

                        Thankfully, Morrissey has forgiven Jesus. Had he not already done so, some awkward moments would have been inevitable in such close quarters.
