Walmart is sold out, and Target.com is down to its last supplies. Yes, Virginia, there’s been a mad rush on talking Jesus dolls this Christmas. And it’s surely a sign of the coming apocalypse — that is, if you listen to Joshua Livingston, the spokesman for the manufacturer of the doll: “We feel blessed that the toys are now in the hands of thousands of children, teaching them the word of God,” he says. ”We knew that the toys would make great Christmas gifts, but to see them sell so well before the Christmas buying season begins proves that parents want alternatives in the toy aisle.”

Um, yeah, or maybe people just like gag gifts. 

P.S. Urban Outfitters still has quite a few Jesus Flasks in stock.
