Yeah... On the right...

He's stalking the girl on the right.

It won't fuck with them at all. The level of documentation from something like this even 100 years ago would be great. Now, it can be easily searched via a computer. Also, archived news articles about it will show up.

[–]DenjinJ 0 points1 point ago

In 100 years, another amateur will attempt to restore this fresco and accidentally make him look human again.

No thank you....but I will have one of the St. Gordon Freeman candles if they're still available.

[–]ObeseSnake 17 points18 points ago

Mr. Freeman... how .. good .. of you to come.

Gordon Freeman Candles?

[–]IAmGoingToFuckThat 3 points4 points ago

The saint on the candle next to the Jesus candle looks like Gordon Freeman without glasses. Shame on whoever downvoted you for not being familiar with the context.

Hanging out with Betty White it appears.

[–]eanhctbe 21 points22 points ago

What store is that? I need one of these.

[–]stonedotjimmy 12 points13 points ago

OP will deliver.

[–]eanhctbe 4 points5 points ago

I found one similar on Etsy, but I want the one in the photo above.

[–]stonedotjimmy 25 points26 points ago

But I want the $1.59 version, not the $9.99 version

[–]SocksForCocks 15 points16 points ago

Buy $1 candle, print out picture, glue to candle.

[–]MisterDonkey 1 point2 points ago

You're so reasonable.

[–]eanhctbe 1 point2 points ago

Same here. I can't find them online.

[–]stonedotjimmy 7 points8 points ago

I'm in LA, if i find them locally i'll ship you one

[–]Monkey1127 2 points3 points ago

Is there any way I could get in on this? My wife's got a birthday coming up...

[–]iamedcasey 0 points1 point ago

[–]kittentummies 0 points1 point ago

If you find where they are, could you tell me please? You don't have to ship me one, I have a friend in LA, I just need to be able to tell her where to go! Thanks :D

[–]FridaSlaves 0 points1 point ago

Holy shit. What an awesome offer. I need as a Christmas gift for my very religious supervisor.

[–]smnytx 0 points1 point ago

If you find out, please reply to this and tell me. I must have this for my ofrenda this year.

[–]runmymouth 1 point2 points ago

Walmart has them around here. Good cheap hurricane light.

[–]brookuslicious 2 points3 points ago

Went to one of our Walmarts. Did not have. Left disappointed. ):

[–]eanhctbe 0 points1 point ago

Damn. Not finding them on their website.

[–]runmymouth 3 points4 points ago

I just saw them when I was walking through walmart. Not sure you will find them on their website.

[–]wateronsand 0 points1 point ago

[–]MasterA6 0 points1 point ago

I'm in Canada and need one of these.

[–]diyeiogt 0 points1 point ago

Judging by the labels, it looks like Big Lots.

[–]Strayl1ght 0 points1 point ago

[–]rockafella7 13 points14 points ago

Could you imagine if 100 years from now, that's the only celebrated image of Jesus?

[–]Anendinginfire 10 points11 points ago

For a second, I thought the candle next to it had Walter White on it

[–]dubnine 9 points10 points ago

This was my first thought but then I realized it was Jesus...then I realized he was holding Jesus and I was wondering why Jesus was holding Jesus...then I realized it was Joseph holding Jesus but I decided I'd rather believe it's Walter White holding Walt Jr eating a cross shaped pancake.

[–]mikecrash 48 points49 points ago

Ok, sorry to be late to this party, but I've seen this face now a bunch and I missed the story behind it, all I know is something something jesus. Would someone fill me in?

[–]tenehemia 58 points59 points ago

[–]TheAmityvillain 72 points73 points ago

Recent development: Because of the painting going viral, many people have showed up to the church to see it; so much that the church started charging. The lady who botched the restore is now suing the church for a cut.

[–]Chernoobyl 101 points102 points ago

Damn, she's more American than me

[–]CaffeinatedGuy 42 points43 points ago

Go home, Chernobyl. You're drunk.

[–]AudacityTN 22 points23 points ago

Take a rest, CaffeinatedGuy. You're tired.

[–]tandreasen66 8 points9 points ago

The audacity, Tennessee...

[–]Edrondol 9 points10 points ago

Which is weird because she says any money she makes will go to charity. Technically, wouldn't the money already be going to charity?

[–]IleaveComments 11 points12 points ago

Please, no one shatter this one. not yet.

[–]Edrondol -2 points-1 points ago

Oh, my illusions were shattered years ago. But technically, giving to a church or religious organization is considered a charity, but then again I am coming from an American (North variety) perspective so it may be different in Italy.

[–]IleaveComments 2 points3 points ago

Legal definitions and reality, in this sphere at least, are very different things.

[–]Bro666 2 points3 points ago

SPAIN!

[–]Edrondol -1 points0 points ago

Many apologies. I had the wrong country. C'est la vie, non?

[–]Contero 0 points1 point ago

Not sure how taxes work over there, but in theory if you gained money so that you could donate it to charity, couldn't you write off more of your taxes, effectively increasing your income? A simplistic example:

Let's say my income is $100, and I'm going to pay $20 in taxes. I manage to get a hold of $10 extra that I know I have to donate to charity. My income would have increased to $110 making my taxes $22, but I'm able to write off that $10 I donated to charity, effectively increasing my after-tax income from $80 to $88 by just having some money go through my hands instead of directly to the charity.

[–]someguy945 1 point2 points ago

effectively increasing my after-tax income from $80 to $88

You forgot to actually give the $10 to charity. You are now down to $78

110 - 22 - 10 = 78

EDIT: Actually, this isn't how it works either. The tax benefit of giving to charity is that it's subtracted from your taxable income. So what really happens is your income is 110, you give 10 to charity, and you only get taxed on the 100 that you didn't give to charity, so you pay 20 in taxes and you are now down to 80, just like you were before.

The difference is that a church is a "non-profit", which gives a portion of its money to charity and keeping a portion for other things. The woman can give directly to charity, bypassing the church and helping more people in need.

[–]odd84 0 points1 point ago

You pay taxes on your taxable income. A charitable gift reduces your taxable income, not your taxes owed. Only credits, not deductions, directly reduce taxes owed.

Without the charity: $100 in income, 20% tax rate, $20 in taxes

With the charity: $110 in income, $10 donation reduces your taxable income to $100, 20% tax rate, $20 in taxes.

So getting money then giving it away does not change your tax liability at all.

[–]Contero 0 points1 point ago

Ah, I was a bit confused. That makes sense. Thanks!

[–]Venjamin -2 points-1 points ago

I suppose God is a charity case.

[–]NowNowGuys 1 point2 points ago

Now that the image has received more press coverage and media exposure than all but the most famous works of art, it must be worth millions. Literally. The old lady should lawyer up and go get her internet money.

[–]junkfood66 2 points3 points ago

It'll be worth at least 10 million.

[–]WolfDemon 1 point2 points ago

So the church forgives her for fucking it up in the first place, and now she's suing them.

[–]mikecrash 5 points6 points ago

amazing.

P.S. Thanks for the link

[–]dhardison 2 points3 points ago

I missed the backstory, as well. Now I have some sense of why that pic looks like a monchichi

Hey these make great hurricane candles cause they are so cheap. Bought a crap ton of them for lights when we lost power after several hurricanes. Walmart stocks these things.

[–]MufasaSimba 3 points4 points ago

Pretty sure that's breaking like 16 Bible-laws.

[–]runmymouth 6 points7 points ago

I broke another one this morning, I shaved. I view them like Pokemon, gotta break them all.

[–]funkydrummer89 12 points13 points ago

I live in la where can I buy these?

[–]CubbyRed 4 points5 points ago

hey get one for me while you're at it!

[–]diyeiogt 1 point2 points ago

It looks like the price tags from Big Lots.

[–]melance 19 points20 points ago

LA or L.A.?

[–]bewareofdware 6 points7 points ago

Why is this downvoted? He/she is asking whether these can be found in Louisiana (LA) or Los Angeles (L.A.).

[–]dewdnoc 3 points4 points ago

Absolutely no idea why people down voted this. Its a valid question, and as a guy in Southern CA I'd be interested in picking these up.

[–]megusta_internet 3 points4 points ago

Where did you find this in LA??

[–]CuntMcFuckGiggles -5 points-4 points ago

Since LA is infested with millions of illegal alien mexicans....I would venture a guess that it could be found on any given corner shop.

[–]Elementhol 4 points5 points ago

Smells like failure.

[–]chrometoucan 4 points5 points ago

what are these things exactly? I always see them in the mexican isle at groceries so I have always assumed it is something hispanic

[–]Rgerber 1 point2 points ago

These are awesome beer chugging glasses once the candle is gone.

[–]MisterDonkey 0 points1 point ago

Except that they're probably pressed with lead or something.

[–]pliskie 0 points1 point ago

sweetener!

[–]Robeleader -1 points0 points ago

That's amazing. Buy them all and sell them online in a few years. Or use them at serious occasions that have no other candles so that everyone notices it. Or bring it to a state funeral and get on camera with it.

[–]papermarLo 3 points4 points ago

Would be better to sell now while its still viral.

[–]Thunder_Bastard 0 points1 point ago

That old woman did more for that church than 100 marketing executives could ever do...

They have already said it is drawing tons of new tourists to see the painting, and there has been an assload of press coverage on it. People like the new painting.

Plus anything that adds a little humor to church is a good thing.

[–]buh2001j 0 points1 point ago

This is photoshopped. I live in Los Angeles and haven't seen these around. I'm assuming OP hasn't responded with where the photo was taken because of it being a hoax. Look at how the image on all 3 is exactly the same angle, none of them look turned. The the image is also not very cylindrical compared to the shape of the candle, it still looks pretty flat.
