    I am. I actually had a gay friend vet all the potential Jesus pix for hawtness. I think this one looks like he could front an emo band.

    Awww…. Jesus.
    And yes, you are going straight to hell for this.
    I’ll see you there.

    HAWT! You’ve got to be kidding. They all leave me ice cold.

    Elvis is the odd one out. He just doesn’t have the loooooong hair.

  6. Posted October 27, 2007 at 7:21 am | Permalink

    Agreed. If more men knew what long hair did to women, more men would have long hair.

    Ya know, though…I think Elvis is kinda working it. Jesus is hotter, but Elvis’s robes have the ELVIS COLLAR! To me, that makes the look.

    I say seeing Bob Marley with the Heart would be a better hoot or a random animal, say a penguin.

  9. Posted October 28, 2007 at 11:43 am | Permalink

    Marley wasn’t much of a hottie, though, and I’m not so all about the penguins, although I do love a man in a tuxedo. Fashion is sex, my friend! Fashion is sex! Just ask Tom Ford.

    I recently heard that a friend of a friend did the groupie thing and slept with Axl one night after he wrapped up a concert. Says it was the BEST SEX of her life.

    I have a used car for sale that your young friend may be interested in. It has far less miles on it’s axles than … *rotflol*

    Hahaha – actually Axl is the last person you’d think of as being a generous, selfless sort of lover. Maybe it’s his Midwest upbringing.

  13. Posted October 31, 2007 at 9:43 pm | Permalink

    Or the drugs. He took the magical combo that night.

  14. Posted October 31, 2007 at 10:11 pm | Permalink

    “The magical combo?” I have always heard he’d take anything, and wash it down with whiskey. That he’s still alive surprises me.

    But “November Rain” excuses a lot when you’re feeling all emotional.

  15. Posted October 31, 2007 at 11:45 pm | Permalink

    November Rain is awesome.

  16. Posted November 1, 2007 at 10:22 pm | Permalink

    Sometimes you just gotta go over the top with a bottle of whiskey, eh?

    Also Stephanie Seymour is gorgeous beyond the lot of mortals. I always wanted to be a tall, fine-boned brunette. And I’m a short, rounded blonde.

  17. Posted November 1, 2007 at 11:37 pm | Permalink

    Trust me, if I was a man, I’d pick a short buxom and round blonde over a tall, fine boned brunette.

  18. Posted November 2, 2007 at 7:32 pm | Permalink

    That makes one of you.

    Oh, you’d be surprised!

    Do not make use of God’s name in vain. There are numerous other ways of having fun or jokes. You are comparable to Madonna, making use of Jesus to popularise herself!

  21. Posted November 5, 2007 at 4:30 pm | Permalink

    Is Axl dead, too. Holy shit!

  22. Posted November 5, 2007 at 6:52 pm | Permalink

    Yes, I am comparable to Madonna. But less wizened, and with better tits!

  23. Posted November 5, 2007 at 10:47 pm | Permalink

    @Swisserikin:
    But this way is much funnier.

    Though I see your point: “Who Wore it Better: Elvis, Buddha, or Jabba the Hut,” would also work, I suppose. Or Vic Morrow, Anne Boleyn, and John the Baptist …

    @Raincoaster: “Jesus is hotter,”–you nailed it. Um, I mean … Aw hell, anyway.

  24. Posted November 5, 2007 at 10:51 pm | Permalink

    And better taste, too. Seriously doubt you’d be caught dead in a liplock with Britney.

    Wow, Raincoaster was very nice to Swisserkins.

  25. Posted November 5, 2007 at 10:57 pm | Permalink

    I hadn’t had any coffee yet.

    I wouldn’t touch Britney with a ten-foot pole, although I do hear that’s her type!

  26. Posted November 6, 2007 at 3:10 am | Permalink

    I wonder if the name Timberlake is attached to that ten foot pole…

    Dear Raincoaster:

    We are in the process of producing an illustrated book on the Sacred Heart of Jesus. In the course of research here, I came across your website with the unusual portrait of the Sacred Heart as rock star (Axl Rose). Do you know the source of this poster? (Not Elvis as the Sacred Heart, the source for which I already have.)

    The idea behind the book is to present the history and meaning of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The text of the book will be composed of an introductory chapter tracing the history of the Sacred Heart, an epilog exploring some of its possible meanings, and a description and explanation of each illustration.

    The book will carry approximately 100 full-page color illustrations—a mix of mass-produced, ecclesiastical, archival, and contemporary interpretations of this mystical iconography, and be produced to the highest editorial, graphic design, and print-production standards.

    Any information you can provide will be most appreciated.

    With best wishes,

    Peter N. Nèvraumont

    To find the source of the image, just click on it and that will take you to the source site. It’s a poster meant to promote a rock radio station.

    Axl could wear a bin bag and pull it off; just because he is Axl Rose.
    He is simply amazing!!
    I am in love with this man!!!!

    But Axl doesn’t look like Axl anymore, that’s the thing. He looks kind of like the kindly Lion from the Wizard of Oz, only druggy.

    I hear Axl likes to spit on people.

    ‘He looks kind of like the kindly Lion from the Wizard of Oz, only druggy.’

    I wonder if he would spit on that.

  34. Posted July 6, 2008 at 12:44 am | Permalink

    I bet he would, if he could stop the shakes long enough.

    Elvis is the best

    Uhm since when was Laffayette Indiana considered the midwest. Although you wont here me putting him down it would be wong for me to do that being from the same area as Axle rose grew up. We were all fans even if his actions disapointed use. Its like a big nasty family were we both grew up. We know the lies that even hollywood doesnt know. The best thing I can say about Axle Rose is that if it wasnt for jesus and many others that helped him from our home town he would be much worse off the world would not have come to know the prissy chior boy that they know to day as Axle Rose and in my mind the world would be some what more dead than it is today with out the influence that his music gave the rest of the world.

    “Prissy choir boy?” This is the drunken pugilist and cosmetic surgery addict who makes Mickey Rourke look like Clint Eastwood? Are you SURE you know Axl Rose? You don’t even know how to spell his name.
