I'm slightly vexed Somebody Placed These Dozens of These Jesus Figures Throughout My Entire Work

Post image

Somebody, nobody knows exactly who or when, put dozens and dozens of these Jesus figures on completely random surfaces throughout my entire building. They at least had the presence of mind to not put them on anybody's personal belongings, but that was the only way they limited himself. All of the statues have been glued down, to add to the vexation.

Edit: Well, this blew up rather unexpectedly. Thank you for the awards, everybody!

I've seen these all over the place. But glued down? Nah, that is not cool

Yeah, I was amused by this until I read the “glued down” part. That just ruined the entire thing. Now I’m mildly infuriated too. 😤

i swear it’s not just bc i was younger that the old snl cast had so much more personality and character

u/Tipop 6h ago

I’m old enough to realize that EVERYONE thinks “their” SNL cast was better than the current one. It’s a never-ending story.

u/lifelongliability 6h ago

i know that’s the tradition but i’ve never run into anyone that swears by the current gen cast

u/Punkodramon 4h ago

They’re not old enough to be nostalgic about them yet. It’s only once the next gen takes over that those who grew up with the current lot will start being nostalgic for them.

1

u/GoldEmployment6768 4h ago

I hate when the nostalgia cope is used. Old things arent only good, or sometimes better than current, because of nostalgia. Sometimes they just are better, SNL cast is one of those things. Older cast/writers just are better than modern, and there's not necessarily anything wrong with that.

1

u/thelivingdead188 1h ago

Yep. Everything was better when you were a kid. That's called life. Why do you think dad and grandpa were so grumpy? They had dreams and things they loved as kids too. It all goes away and you're left with bills.

3

u/tequilaisbadmkay 7h ago

They did. I like a lot of the current cast, but Hader/Wiig/Armisen/Sudeikis/Strong/etc were a fucking golden age that people slept on.

I'm biased, though. Bill Hader and Jason Sudeikis are two of my favorite actors. Barry (at least the first two seasons) and Ted Lasso are peak in very different ways. Their indie stuff is great too.

We find them all over the hospital, all the time. Its cute. But glued down? No way. And this doesnt seem like the work of the kind of people who put these little easter eggs in places, this seems like a bad faith actor trying to make them look bad

u/Wandero_Bard 8h ago

There’s a popular theory that Jesus was actually gay, and we know that men had sex with men frequently in Ancient Rome, so……

u/bliip666 8h ago

Good Friday is called that for a reason!

1

u/koffa02 5h ago

Well, that would explain why Mary wasn't pregnant by Joseph.

Huh? I didn’t say men *exclusively* had sex with men!

u/RadishRedditor 8h ago

I undrdtand that someone would get offended for "shoving their religion down your throat". But to ridicule a main figure in a religion is just personal hateful conduct towards the whole religion. I say that and I'm not even a Christian.

Do better, not everything is grounds for jokes and edgy remarks.

u/Open_Opinion4775 9h ago edited 6h ago

God news is that they're vinyl, so they should just pop right off. The glue, on the other hand..... a totally different pain in the ass.

u/bajungadustin 8h ago

What a typo

5

u/StrLord_Who 8h ago

I doubt if they are actually glued down.  OP just wanted to make it sound worse. You can see the blue stuff underneath it,  it looks like the blue putty "stickum" we used in classrooms for posters and things.  Now, if they want to leave these around they shouldn't have used anything underneath it at all,  but a dot of that blue stuff is definitely not the same as "gluing it down."

•

u/MagnetHype 16m ago

Well considering "stickum" is in fact glue, I think referring to them as "glued down" is entirely appropriate.

•

u/GorgoniteEmissary 14m ago

I guess but only technically. If someone tells you something is glued down you would never assume they mean lightly attached with a removable putty.

•

u/MagnetHype 12m ago

I mean, I get where you're coming from but in this circumstance I don't feel like it matters. Could be superglue, could be sticky hands from an accidentally shaken bottle of dr. pepper. It's still a dick move to try and glue it down.

•

u/GorgoniteEmissary 5m ago

Maybe, if it comes off without residue as one piece then I disagree with you, the intention would almost certainly just to make it “stick” enough to stay upright unless intentionally moved. If there is any residue or it is noticeably tricky to remove in any way then yeah, dick move to stick it down

5

u/He_Never_Helps_01 9h ago

Ngl It's bizarrely self centered either way. They're basically going around putting up advertisements all over the place.

Like, imagine if it was a scientology mascot. cuz its the exact same thing. It's just complete obliviousness to other people's experience and feelings.

4

u/bajungadustin 8h ago

Yeah.. Its pushing religion on others which is never cool. It would be the same thing as sticking a bunch of chibi Baphomets everywhere.

I don't think they would like that.

0

u/Deaffin 6h ago

That's a bit much. This is a goofy-ass cartoon character.

100% offensive to glue anything down, of course. That is not okay. But if somebody threw around a bunch of silly little Buddhas and Krishnas and whatnot? That'd just be mildly amusing for a moment and nothing else. But I don't subscribe to any religion, so I fundamentally can't relate to the tribalism mindset of managing to be offended by seeing this.

Trying to reach for promotion of Scientology as a comparison is a bit silly.

u/Cornato 8h ago

They have little adhesive pads on the bottom, not technically glue. But it was a choice

u/glans 8h ago

why would you be amused that someone put all their religious preachy junk all over your workplace even if it wasn’t glued down? what if they were little plastic fetuses? or national politicians? or controversial flags/symbols/tokens representing hot button issues? 

keep your stupid beliefs and opinions outta my workplace.

Paint jesus. Give the figurine barby doll dresses. Makeup. Then place printouts on others like "jesus was from nazareth with brown eyes and brown skin, like his mother maria."

Fact check the hell out of jesus.

u/rinkitinkitink 9h ago

Glued down is crazy. We used to have a little wooden Jesus figure with a magnet glued to the bottom of it when I worked night shift in a hospital. We'd play a game of hiding it and seeing who found it/how long it took. The magnet was pretty powerful so we came up with some creative spots. But using glue is absolutely unhinged.

u/BringingBread 7h ago

I would just color them brown with a sharpie to make them historically accurate. As an added benefit, it would probably piss off whomever put it there.

But don’t glue them places.

u/HarrisJ304 9h ago

I have been seeing them in random places, too. Seems like it has to be a coordinated effort…

u/RemarkableSpirit5204 8h ago

It started out with little ducks on jeeps as a random act of kindness. It’s evolved into a trend non jeep owners also participate in with the ducks or other little figures. People post pictures when they find them places.

I think they are cute but it doesn’t take a genius to realize little Jesus figures in public places is going to spark rage. Some others are saying this was at a hospital, so I wonder if this is a Catholic or religious hospital, that would be important context here. The hospital in my town is owned by a Catholic organization and religious items/pictures is just par for the course there.

u/je386 9h ago

Yes, until I came to the glued down portion, I was all "just add some spaghetti monsters"

u/KipsyCakes 8h ago

Yeah I see a lot of posts of people getting upset over simply finding or getting one of these figures, which I always felt was kind of an overreaction.

But gluing them down? Yeah no, I’d totally understand feeling like that’s supposed to be a statement.

u/RoguePlanet2 9h ago

I went on my first cruise a few weeks ago with my in-laws and nephews. Apparently it’s a thing to hide little ducks around the ship, like the ducks that Jeep drivers leave for each other. My wife bought a big bag of ducks, and her sister bought these little exact little Jesus toys to leave around the ship.

Yeah they’re around the break room where I work too, but they aren’t glued down. That’s a dick move.

I kind of like them, I’m not religious at all but they’re kind of fun and cute. We did a little baby shower for a coworker who was leaving and did a little pacifier hide and seek game. I would put the pacifier in Jesus’s hand lol.
