Jesus Dissed!
Someone complained that the Mohammed Cartoons were like showing Jesus with an erect penis. Well, duh, someone has already done that. The German artist Joseph Beuys did it, in fact, with an extra twist. He depicted a Black Jesus, on the cross, with a throbbing hard-on:
Offensive indeed. I find myself compelled to riot and burn the German embassy--perhaps even piss on the Reichstag.
Note to readers: I believe that Jesus was black. Thus it is not his blackness that offends me, but the inaccurate coloring of his boney bone.
PS. This New Yorker article discusses big Jeezy's sex life. So Beuys is really not on his own here. Notably, neither he nor Dan Brown have faced any death threats for their work.

as the resident art historian, and a beuys know it all, i would love to see some sort of documentation of this highly specious claim
