As the late great Ethel Waters once said, "God don't make no junk." Were our religious beliefs something other than an amalgamation of Santeria and crossed fingers, we'd probably agree. But just because God has a hand in everything, does that mean everything is worthy of saintly imaging?
We think it was a bad choice to deify Sienna Miller in this ad for the Catholic Church's World Youth Day. Because though God may not make junk, some junk makes itself.
After the jump, the full image and a bonus Snoop ad.

Sooooooo, that's not Chris Crocker?
Also (re: it all begat with God), I am pretty sure that is not how you use "begat." Maybe the Catholics should stick to Latin.
Thank you Lisa! I was just going to say that I thought that was the "leave Britney alone" guy/girl.
Surely more disturbing is that photo of Axl Rose as Jesus. If I gave a shat, I'd be offended. Like Axl doesn't already have enough of a Jesus complex.
I really am without words.
I'm thinking:
I can't even form thoughts here.
I probably would have got my knuckles slapped with a ruler if I would have brought something like this to school back in the day.
When did Saturday Night Live become the Voice of the Vatican?
This is satire, right? They aren't serious, are they? I need a drink.
Ok. Snoop Dogg is Steelers fan. I can do this.
In the confessional this coming Saturday Morning:
Father: …how long since your last confession..
qc: "Uh! I'm a nice dude with some nice dreams."
Father: mmm, go on….
qc: "I got the rolly on my arm and I'm pouring Chandon. AND I roll the best weed, cause I got it going on."
Father: …I see..
qc:" you should think about it, take a second
matter of fact you should take four B"
Father: I think I have heard just about enough. Your penance shall be 4 Hail Marys…
qc: "So don't run up on my ear talking all that raspy shit. I'm a gangsta but y'all knew that."
Drop It Like It's Hot
I think that, as much as I really hate to critisize, the focus group that was hired to study the promotion Youth Day could have really thought this through better.
Good initial idea. Appeal to the young. I get that.
(Does the young people that we are targeting even know Sienna Miller?) (Was the cast of High School Musical too expensive?)
Also, who was on the steering commitee? They steered this project into a ditch.
I think George Costanza is somehow to blame for all this.
Okay, so usually I'm a lurker, but this made me register so I could verify that is this, in fact, real. Please tell me it isnt?

I'll forgo my self imposed ban on organized religion to take the sacrament from Snoop.
"Take fo shiz, dis be the Lord. Eat, my nizzle, in the name of mac daddy."
these are so very badly photoshopped. let's focus on that.
