My art teacher in high school had a collection of Black Velvet Jesuses (or is it Jesiis? :p )hanging in the art room–he said they were his guilty pleasure and he loved the kitschiness of them…no religious aspect. He also had a collection of Black Velvet Elvises too…
Oh my God!
I’m not Christian, and the last thing I want to see 12 times a day on my way to the filing cabinet is a picture of Jesus!
It’s funny and kitchy but to me it’s not a “share with everybody” kind of thing.
No one in my office has a problem with it. If they did, I imagine they would have said something a year or two ago when I put up some of my biblical action figures.

Hahaha, I can’t believe you have that hanging at your work. Though I remember when you had it hanging in your apartment.

On the outside of your cubicle? That’s not cool.

Yeah, he got tired of looking over my shoulder so I thought I’d give him a change of scenery.
What exactly is not cool about it?
