BIZARRE

There’s so much quirky weirdness in Malta that it’s almost fun. I find myself wondering, whatever next?
Am I the only one who finds these Jesus-and-child photos thoroughly creepy? The children look really wary, as though they fear something bad is about to happen to them.
And Jesus, of course, looks as though he was born in Scandinavia – as usual.

The photo studio is in Ghaxaq. Franco Debono, can just walk to take his photo taken with Jesus. He will probably tell Jesus what to do.
He can always do that after the next election and ask Jesus to make him pope.
He’d better. Did you see how impressive his Religion mark was?
What to do?
Dak itih tghajjira ta’ dik l-oligarkija li ghandu ma’ San Pietru u San Gwann (marru St Edward’s dawn?) u forsi jurih ir-rizultat tar-religion tal-form IIC.
U jekk ma tlahhaqnix dixxiplu nugzak lil Pilatu, u nkeskes is-serduq lil dak ta’ San Pietru.
Extremely posh. Jesus!
Is the south becoming synonymous with weird types of business?
It’s not restricted to one area. Internet has unearthed the weirdness surrounding us, and of which we were previously blissfully unaware.
What were they thinking?
May I suggest that, for the next session, Jesus hold a lollipop.
Preferably one of those red and white swirly things. For a dash of colour.
I propose a caption competition.
“Jesus, why do I have to be naked except for a sheet?”
Boy, “WTF???”
More wisdom from Labour’s Professor Godfrey Pirotta on Facebook:
“I find it really interesting as to how many women piece writers focus their attention on Joseph Muscat. Big Bertha Sulllivan does it every month. I suppose this fits with her cycle. Others do it every day and they are probably in their menopause. And today it was Caroline Galea in The Times who joined the act. I am sure that their is some Freudian explanation for all this. Oh the tricks that hormones play on us!!!!”
He’s always been an arrogant and overbearing twerp.
Thank God for blond Aryan Jesus; the south would have no other.
Sinister.
There’s no accounting for other people’s tastes, though.
On a serious note, aren’t you saddened by Greece re-adopting the drachma?

Today, 15:16 in the Times blog (Man demands compensation)
“I myself am still astonished that a recent case where a magistrate accused a journalist of defamation and after a number of sittings for unknown reasons to the public the magistrate withdrew the case.”
If I remember correctly, the magistrate withdrew the case after the “journalist” (the term is used very loosely) made scurrilous allegations in a blog but withdrew them all once under oath.
DCG – DID you withdraw the allegations you made UNDER OATH against Mag Consuelo, as this socialist bum says?
[Daphne – No, I most certainly did not.]
On the contrary,I think these photos are something that could offer a lot of opportunity to our young enterprising businessmen, of course if used properly and prudently and accompanied by a small prayer for each occasion.
Here are some examples:
1. Just imagne the young boy as Franco: “Oh Lord why have you abandoned me?”
2.Jason surrounded by young boys on their first communion: “Thank you Lord for thy bounty.”
3. J.P.O tied to a pillar: “A tooth for a tooth.”
[Daphne – St Sebastian is a gay icon. Jeffrey is most definitely not. Or at least, that’s what I’m told.]
4. Joseph Muscat leaning against two pillars in the temple: “I will bring the house down and rebuild it in three days.”
[Daphne – Wasn’t Samson’s strength invested in his hair? Isn’t that how he brought down the temple? Muscat has no hair.]
5. Austin Gatt on his first day in Heaven: “Excuse me Lord, but I think you are sitting in my chair.”
6. Last but not the least, young Gonzi sitting at the lap of his venerable uncle: “Lawr, take care of my flock, for they are nothing but sheep, and know not what they want. See that Tonio milks them daily.”
Reminded me of the 18th century fashion of after-death photography. Follow this link if you’re not easily impressionable:

Sorry, meant 19th century.
Maaah, how creepy! Whatever next? A Joseph Muscat lookalike? A Mintoff lookalike?
A Minister of the South lookalike?
As hopelessly misguided as they are, the Jesus pictures are very well executed.
