"A leading retailer in Singapore has withdrawn a cosmetics range with a Jesus theme after complaints from local Roman Catholics, local media report.

The range, named Lookin' Good for Jesus, was on sale at three Topshop outlets in the Asian city state.

Catholics complained the cosmetics' marketing was disrespectful, full of sexual innuendo and trivialised Christianity.

About 15% of Singapore's 4.4 million population is Christian. "

I love it, to bad this "being a male" prevents me from getting it..

[tigger]

some boys love the lip-gloss, and a bit of rouge doesnt go astray

The products included a "Virtuous vanilla" lip balm and a "Get Tight with Christ" hand and body cream, featuring a picture of Christ flanked by two adoring women

Lol. What were the makers thinking ? I wonder what the market is for this tat.

Why stop there, how about a "moisturise with Mohammed" range of massage oils ?

Just had a look at the producers site...."Mental Case" soap ? or my favourite, this breath spray:
