Con man sells holy hardware on Ebay.

Oops, that was Conn. Man Bad TJ-Bad!:spank:

Thomas Haley was unloading supplies for his job at Hardy's Hardware when he said something odd caught his eye: the face of Jesus Christ on a piece of sheet metal.

Well, at least Jesus has upgraded from cheese sandwiches and tortillas...

1. I love this part.

They say several people agreed with their assessment, although a few suggested it looks more like legendary rock singer Jim Morrison of The Doors.

I don't know, for some reason, the thought of Jim Morrison's pasty mug on a piece of sheet metal just makes me :rofl:

2. Hall-alloy-ah Jebus!

:dunce:

[tjwash]

3. Now *thats* funny.

:thumbsup:

[Whoa_Nelly]

4. Anyone find the eBay link to this?

I looked, searched, but don't see it.

Yeah..real X-tianity at work:

Haley said that whatever money is raised will be split between him, Jackson, another worker, and two customers. But he's still a little ambivalent about the sale.

"I feel kind of bad just pawning off Christ," Haley said.

7. I found two

Someone actually bought the first one:


looks more like Elvis than Jesus, though

[Whoa_Nelly]

9. The first one is the the one from the article

It had a Buy It Now for $10K. Looks like someone was suckered right out of their money...or someone doesn't care that by buying means they have to pay, and they don't anyway...have had that happen to me as as seller on eBay. 'Course, I never sold a Jesus face :rofl:

[Whoa_Nelly]

10. I see three eyes and pointy ears on the image

and a nose with three nostrils...Yup...that's Jesus! :rofl:

13. don't forget the Tin Commandment:

1. THOU SHALT NOT LAMPOON MY HOLY METALLURGICAL VISAGE!

explanation is simple: Jesus moved when the flashbulb went off.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

11. Looks more like Frank Zappa to me.

[Benfea]

5. Why not?

I mean, if billions of people are gullible enough to buy into religion, they're gullible enough to pay amazing sums of money for a scam like this.

[DainBramaged]

6. I have a turd that looks like.........

Never mind.

[Earth_First]

8. Sold for $10,000!?

Sounds like I need to tool around in the shop more often...

[tjwash]

12. No, that's actually a "buy it now for $10000"

Which means that you can give him ten grand, and don't have to worry about being outbid. It doesn't look like anyone has even bid $19.95 for it.

14. Message to Mr. Haley: You seems to have yer LORDS confused, son!

This ain't Jesus, Lord of the Jews:


Nope, Tommy, whatcha got here is
Michael Flatley, Lord of the DANCE!


And ain't NOBODY paying 10 grand for a blurry pic of him.
Better luck next time.

Have a blessed day!
