[From Salt Lake Tribune]
In March, the LDS Church asked Just Add Coffee to stop selling a popular T-shirt that featured coffee being funneled into Angel Moroni’s iconic trumpet. (The angel tops most LDS temples and figures prominently in the religion’s scriptures.)
The Taylorsville store owners complied, but the spat spurred a new design, with the angel removed, that might prove even more marketable. It shows a giant hand from the sky pouring the java – which the LDS Church urges its members to abstain from drinking – into a disembodied trumpet. The caption:
“The Lord giveth, and a church taketh away.”
Read about it here.
[From me]
I wrote about this a few weeks back here. I think I need to order one of these.
“Disembodied trumpet” -LOL.
One wonders if the coffee’s being funnelled through a metal object to maintain its heat.
Only in America…
Metal is an excellent conductor of heat, it would probably make the coffee cool faster. Personally, I think all this is disgraceful. Coffee is one of the few things that make me wonder whether I am wrong about a merciful creator. I own an espresso machine that never cools. Then again, if pot and coffee did not exist, I might well be a believer; I would think myself in hell!
Geekwad, if you ever come Down Under, I’ll take you to my favourite haunt and buy you an Illy’s coffee, with special milk from a special dairy, and you will be transported into another dimension. Yo may even attribute the experience to God!
