Today in Rape Culture

[Trigger warning.]


In case you can't tell what that is, it's a talking Jesus action figure from The Big Lebowski. You know Jesus, right? "Nobody fucks with The Jesus." He's the guy played by John Turturro, and the character is decribed as a "pederast." A convicted sex offender, who "served 6 months in Chino for exposing himself to an eight year old." The perfect inspiration for a toy, I guess.

Charmingly, the toy says eight lines from the film, including "Let me tell you something, pendejo. You pull any of your crazy shit with us, you flash a piece out on the lanes, I'll take it away from you, stick it up your ass, and pull the fucking trigger 'til it goes 'click'." Just what I want: An action figure that threatens to rape me with a gun!
