You should see the R C gift shops they have in the various large towns all over Spain, if you think this lot's tacky don't forget to carry a sick bag when you're next visiting any of the larger towns in Spain, just in case.

It's the statues of Coach Jesus with the tiny hint of paedophilia that I think are impressive. Worth looking at the different sports.

Moving back towards matters edible, if there was ever a need for someone to sing about Jesus shaped sweeties then this is the very chap for the job: immaculate confection right enough.

I wouldn't call that tasteless (metaphorically; I haven't tried it, so can't comment on its literal taste). Anyway, it's political, not religious.

I wish the adherants of the cult of Orangeism believed as you - and for that matter I - do.
Trust me; they do not.

I love that fact that they parade in their bowler hats and sashes with grim scowls on their faces, while their sashes all prominently say "LOL"! :D

What I HATE - and I mean hate - their penguin wddles as they play their music - badly - at 8:30 in the morning as they parade past my house.
Some of the stuff they play is innofensive; simple folksy-type tunes - but they also intersperse the 23rd Psalm (tune 'Crimmond') with "No surrender" and "The sash my father wore" - which really gets me angry.
So, no; they are an amalgum of sectarian hate with religio-politicval anachronisms and a bad take on history.
