My thing is this:

If this woman REALLY believes that this is the manifestation of the Virgin Mary, why does she want to sell it?

Quote:
She also believes its mystical properties have brought her blessings, including $70,000 won in a nearby casino.
So let's sum up: "I have a sammich with the virgin mary on it. It has blessed my life, and I won $70,000 at a casino. Now I want to give my blessings to someone else. Oh, sorry. I meant I want to SELL my blessings to someone else. But you can't eat it. Because it's holy. It's so holy I'm selling it. Because it's the Right Thing to Do [tm]"

What a crock.

I don't know, I'd say that face in the grilled cheese looks more like a 1920's flapper girl than the Virgin Mary.

You know, I was thinking the same thing, but I couldn't figure out how to verbalize what I was visualizing. Thanks, 404!

I don't care if it rains or freezes
Long as I got my plastic Jesus
Right there on the dashboard of my car.

I could go a hundred miles an hour
Long as I got the almighty power
Right up there with my pair of fuzzy dice.

That image in the sammich looks more like our current Madonna circa "Vogue" period to me.
