dUSt Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 I think the ones that are funny are funny. If there are ones that are disrespectful, then I think those are disrespectful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dUSt Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Like this one... Funny. [img]http://www.lolsaints.com/sites/lolsaints.com/files/imagecache/main-saint-image/saint-story-images/icon-in-your-icon.jpg[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papist Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 First one I saw was Thomas with his finger in Christ's side with the caption "Is there candy in there?" I stopped looking after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cherie Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 [quote name='Papist' timestamp='1303927976' post='2233930'] First one I saw was Thomas with his finger in Christ's side with the caption "Is there candy in there?"

Wish they'd weed out the disrespectful ones, because a sense of humor is great and some can just be good, clean Catholic funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil Red Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 geez, people. don't like it, complain. pretty sure the person running it is Catholic. and submit stuff...i think they have a hard time keeping it updated. edit: from [url="http://www.lolsaints.com/page/about-lolsaints"]the about page[/url]: [quote]LOLSaints was created in early 2009 by Jeff Geerling in response to a Twitter posting by CurtJester (who runs a humorous blog named, aptly, "The Curt Jester"). In this most profound of tweets, CurtJester simply stated: Thus, LOLSaints was born. Profound. We know. And it is here to this day. A few days a week, we'll be posting a new saint, along with a quick and easy-to-digest bio of that saint. (This site is obviously indebted to I Can Haz Cheeseburger?, a site which rose to Internet stardom quite a while ago due to their very funny LOLcats pictures.) You Can Help! Is your favorite saint missing from our website? Do you think you can come up with a better caption? There are a ton of ways you can get involved: Leave a comment on one of the posts. Register for an account and submit a new saint (you must be logged in to submit a new saint!). Pray for the poor souls in purgatory. Go take some pictures of saintly artwork in your Church. Part of what makes this site so great is your help! Sometimes, because of the amount of submissions we get, we won't be able to use your image right away; don't worry, though—we read every submission![/quote] [quote name='CherieMadame' timestamp='1303928787' post='2233934'] Yeah, that's disrespectful to me. Some are funny, yes, but some [i]are[/i] disrespectful, too. Wish they'd weed out the disrespectful ones, because a sense of humor is great and some can just be good, clean Catholic funny. [/quote] to you, it's disrespectful. humor, like art, is subjective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil Red Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 and from the FAQ's: [quote]Do you hate the Church? How can you disgrace these sacred images?! We love the Church, and would never intentionally do anything to harm Christian unity or the Body of Christ—either here on earth or in the Heavens! We don't view what we do as 'disgracing' sacred artwork and images. Rather, we are enlivening them, promoting them, and adapting them to a different audience. Most of the artwork featured on this site is extraordinarily beautiful; sometimes some of this beauty can be hidden from more modern audiences. We take advantage of this hiddenness by first bringing humor into the situation, then adding a small dose of sound theological doctrine. But you must hate the Church. Nobody can dare make fun of saints!! Slow down, there, buddy! We really don't hate the Church. And we don't think this website is 'making fun' of the saints at all. Have you clicked the 'Continue Reading' link on one of the postings and read what we wrote about the image? Please do that before you send us a scathing email using the Contact form telling us we're going to burn in Hell... Instead of 'making fun' of saints, or downplaying their importance, we're trying to use some of the greatest resources at our disposal (images of saints) and adapt them to a generation of Internet users who might not otherwise be able to appreciate them. Instead of 'making fun' of saints, we would say we're 'having fun with the saints.' I don't think any saints I've asked to intercede for me are grumpy saints—on the contrary: they would probably be rather happy to share a laugh or two.[/quote] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nihil Obstat Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 (edited) Someone around here got warned once for posting a "raptor Jesus" (i.e. Jesus riding a velociraptor). Not exactly the same, but only different in degree. Edited April 27, 2011 by Nihil Obstat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
