Just in case you were wondering, I haven’t been slacking off on the site. I’ve been really busy with outside jobs and activities. Last week I attended for the first time a New York City Atheists meetup, attempting to expand my atheistic horizons  and get some much needed human company during this unbelievably cold winter. I also just finished Uncle Sam Dressup for my friends at Medows CPA, PLLC Accounting. And The Quarter Guy saw some of the past work I’ve done on him and hired me to work on his personal page (quarterguy.com) and get some of his affairs in order.

There are also efforts being made for my return to Arizona State University & Kentucky, and there’s more comics, hate mail and Super Chics on the way as well! So don’t throw in the towel on me. I’m just playing catchup!

Cry to Boycott Toys R Us for selling Jesus Dressup!

Sept 9th – Dec 1st,  2008 Spanish & French press

So the story goes like this: I plant Jesus Dress Up on the shelves of Toy-R-Us in Times Square (Sept 9th, 08) as described in the sidebar on page 382 of Hate Mail. After my exit, a Spaniard on vacation with his family walks into that Toys-R-Us, sees the magnets, can’t find anyone to assist him with his complaint, so when he returns to Spain he phones 1-800-ToysRUs and gets the brush off: “We sell all types of products” [elConfidential]. Sooo he takes it to the internet, campaigning against the toy store.

Le Figaro Newspaper
Le Figaro News prints “Boycot Toys R Us for selling Jesus Dressup” article

Someone doesn’t do their research and Le Figaro News cries “Boycott!”

Gossip spreads faster than fact, and before you know it the internet’s steaming with rumors, trumping it up to the Hitler\KKK version & speculation that Toys-R-Us is sidestepping the controversy with the excuse: “some individual operated on his own!” [Hazteoir.org] even though “the product was perfectly identified with bar code and price!” [Padre Rayito]

“we want to arm a crusade to show their management that they cannot make fun of the Church of Christ and its members when disguising Jesus Christ as Hitler, of flamenco dancer, a Teletubbie, Ku Klux Klan, Bin Laden, a prisoner, gorilla…”

Note that I only left Original Jesus Dressup magnets at their stores, but the Padre found my site, and leaped on the most extreme ones to mention in his blog. Anyhow, the matter and the magnets have all been turned over to their legal department [Unitas.fr] –

“Our contact in the United States found an Internet site on which a person admits to having introduced this item during a few minutes in the store in New York City, and this without the knowledge of Toys R’ Us, with an obvious aim to harm our reputation. Once the article discovered by our teams, it immediately was withdrawn and preserved for the investigation to come. You will understand that we are strongly affected by the gesture of this person. The Legal department of our Group currently studies the legal remedy to implement and we’re currently taking the necessary measures so that does not happen again.”

This, once again, was another untrue statement:  MOHAMMED DRESSUP FOR SALE IN TOYS R US >>
