KurtMore PostsHilariously OffensiveWhen I was a kid, the Magic 8 Ball was a popular way to kill some time on a boring Summer afternoon. My mom, of course, wanted me to have nothing to do with it as in her opinnion it was in the same category as a Ouija board or tarot cards….stuff we shouldn’t mess with.
I can only imagine what my mom would say about “Answer Me Jesus”! I am hilariously offended by it.

kurt…it it totally irreverent, completely ridiculous and yet he sits on my desk for when i need such a moment! i purchased him at a time when our staff was having a rather difficult ‘desert’ season & thought we needed some levity. btw…my fav answer is ‘let me ask my dad’.
i’ve had one of these in my office for a couple years, and in our new YS office, he moved to a little ledge in one of our stairwells (shining his light and wisdom over our work days).
I think that falls into the same category as this: http://www.splitreason.com/product/514 One of those things I see the comedic value of, but I also see the danger of someone taking it the wrong way.
