Sweatin’ For Jesus

PareidoliaPaul
Paul @ September 20th, 2008

CNN and CBS have recently presented another “hard-hitting” series of reports on pareidolia with its piece on Jesus found in the water stains of a weight-loss centre’s ceiling.  The patrons and staff alike confide that they’ve since watched their language, avoid lying, and generally act civil while face-to-ceiling with the water stain Jesus.

Link.

As is typical with stories concerning seeing images in random patterns or artifacts, I don’t see Jesus.  In fact, I see Gorn.  It then becomes a surprise to me that patrons of the centre chose to pacify themselves rather than fashion a cannon out of a hollowed-out bamboo shoot.

So what’s appeared on the ceiling, then?  A) Jesus or B) Gorn?

The answer is neither.  It’s a [Gorn-shaped] water stain.  That’s pretty much it.

    That’s nothing but totally, nationally-syndicated free advertising for One Stop Body Shoppe. What is CNN thinking that this is news? It’s just advertising.

    I think the smartest quote in that whole video was from that woman who said: “believing is believing — it has nothing to do with what you see”.
