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. "Why would anyone use religious figures to promote vanity products? It's very disrespectful and distasteful," the Straits Times newspaper quoted accountant Grace Ong, 24, as saying.The amazing product titles aside, I find the condemnation of irreverence rather myopic. Sure, using Jesus to sell a vanity product is distasteful, but is it really any worse than using Jesus to sell pop music, to win a presidential campaign, or get on the New York Times bestseller list?
