This is such a rip-off of Christo's "He's So Fine" sculpture.

Man cannot live on bread alone, but if he were to consume Cosimo Cavallaro's newest creation he could live off of Jesus -- for approximately eight months. An oddball artist known for his "eclectic" forms of expression, Cavallaro's latest contribution to culture is a six-foot tall, anatomically-correct milk-chocolate sculpture of Jesus Christ. His confectionary Christ is made with more than 200 pounds of chocolate, containing approximately 480,000 calories. (The artistic endeavor led, "My Sweet Lord," can also give you 3,240 percent of the Vitamin A you need each day.)
Cavallaro is an artist fond of working with food; his most infamous installation up until now was his exhibition in 1999, which involved covering Room 114 of New York City's Washington Jefferson Hotel in melted mozzarella cheese. If consumed, the junk food Jesus would fill you with 32,000 grams of fat, which is enough to insulate you for well over a year. This Jesus is sure to pack on the pounds, but is this art really food for thought...or just a publicity stunt passing as art?
Just in time for Easter, the high-calorie Heavenly Father will exhibit on April 1st at The Lab gallery at the Roger Smith Hotel in New York. Creative Director Matt Semler says, ''The sign of any great artist is how their work affects the observer." Looking at the Lord, viewers may be moved to muse about their own mortality: Death by chocolate? Hypertension? Or atherosclerosis? Perhaps Cavallaro's intention is to warn the overzealous that when it comes to faith or food -- be it Christ or Cadbury -- indulgence should be avoided at all costs. Or maybe it's simply for shock value -- he wants us to stand there and salivate while suppressing the temptation to nibble on Christ's toes.
Just in time for Easter!

Anatomically correct, I notice.
Is it plain, or does it come with nuts?
Does he melt in your hands and not..............oh, , nevermind.
I don't get weird art.
How do they know Jesus wasn't a giant in the pants?
The Bible says Jesus was quite unremarkable.
but his balls...oh his glorious balls.
A poney tail, no beard, and no pubes. Thats not Jesus thats your typical monorexic caught up in the manscaping fad.
Is that cherry filling or is it the blood of christ?
I don't even want to know where they put the nougat.
You take Sally, I'll Take Sue
There ain't no difference between the two.
To bad the Jews gave him the Butterfinger
I was watching MSNBC earlier and the headline on TV was the same one on MSNBC.com.
"Nude chocolate Jesus statue angers Catholics"
Does anything nude and chocolate not anger Catholics?
So a piece of chocolate shaped like Christ angers Catholics.
But a Snickers that kinda looks like the Virgen of Guadlupe would have followers and not to mention get the front page of the Express News?
Probably, but a lot of us will be there with you. We'll have a party.
