SINGAPORE (Feb. 12) - A cosmetics line that extolled the virtues of "Lookin' Good for Jesus" has been pulled from stores in Singapore after a number of complaints from shoppers, according to media reports Tuesday.
Promising to "Redeem your reputation and more," the product line included a "virtuous vanilla"-flavored lip balm and a "Get Tight with Christ" hand and body cream, The Straits Times said. Wing Tai Retail, which manages the British retailer Topshop, removed the line late last month after receiving complaints. "These products trivialize Jesus Christ and Christianity," it quoted Nick Chui, 27, one of the complainants, as saying. "There are also sexual innuendoes in the messages and the way Jesus is portrayed in these products." One product has packaging with the image of Jesus wearing a bright white robe as he looks toward the heavens, while a heavily made-up blonde woman with an arm draped across his shoulder gazes dreamily at his face. "Why would anyone use religious figures to promote vanity products? It's very disrespectful and distasteful," the report quoted 24-year-old accountant Grace Ong as saying. An unnamed Wing Tai Retail spokesman apologized to anyone who was offended. |

It would seem that the company would have done better using the Devil. Maybe the line could advertise that their products would make women look hot as hell? Or, use our products and when you're alone with your man, they'll bring out the devil in you. ![]() ![]() ![]() |
