We like our switches switches switches here in Gizmodo, but this Jesuswitch is just wrong wrong wrong. WRONG. Blame my catholic upbringing, but I would stay in the room in the dark for fear of turning the light on. [Flickr via Digg]

Lights on, Jesus happy.
Lights off, Jesus sad.
Walk towards the light? No thanks..
Oh, wow....I have to go buy that for all of my Catholic friends. It's like he's encouraging the kids to grab it. That is so wrong.
I think there is a special level in hell for the guy who created that.
My first reaction was, "Jesus Christ, you've got to be kidding me!" LOL That is too fucking wrong!
Let there be light!
i remember this.... its the story about jesus and the glory hole
Sometimes I wish I was innocent and naive enough to make something like this and think there is nothing wrong.
Oh god, and it says "Honor thy father and mother" on it.
WE ALL KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS KIDDIES.
...wow. Just...wow.
Riding the holy pole, eh?
That's why I don't go in for organized religion: The light switch plates.
In our house all the switches can believe what they want as long as off stays off and on stays on.
It's a simple enough arrangement, but we've made it work for a long long time and I'm happy with that.
I like it: a reflection of a reality with abusing priests and their behaviour...
But maybe it's because I'm a definite atheist
@Ourobolus: You mean glory hole :)
I think they are aiming this to the "kid afraid of the dark" market. The "Honor thy Mother and Father" part is a sell out by the manufacturer aimed at the people who will PAY for it for the kid afraid of the dark. (No wonder we are all so screwed up.)
thats bizarre
if there was a Jesus, son of God sent to save mankind, he failed
Look at the faces on the two kids.... that says it all folks.
I want a Jesus light switch that reads "Eat me" with little vampire kids preparing to devour the cannibal god.
Jesus loves the little children... to turn him on. All the children of the world.
See now if my parents saw that they would think it ment honor them by turning off the lights every time you leave the room. lol
A good satire of the way people abuse their power (religious or otherwise) to do sick things.
jaja that's wrong
Funny. Jesus, you look a lot different in the photographs. But also, judging by the style of plastic used, as well as the style of dress of the childrens, I'm guessing this light switch was made some time from the 40s to the 60s, a much more innocent time, when people probably wouldn't make the same assumptions that we make here. That being said, this is creepy creepissimo.
Hey, that's a penis.
@SonOfMagicFact:
Yes, but they certainly knew about Freud by the 1940s...
Why are the kids looking at it?
@Earthslide: It really does take the term to another level doesn't it.
jesus had 'off' tattooed to his sack? which gospel covers that??
Distancing myself from this thread so when the lightning finger of judgement comes from heaven to strike you heratics, I am not in its way.
Jesus is saying "Turn me on my child"
Looks like the kind that glows in the dark. Jesus is there day or night.
That's even better than Michelangelo's David!
Of course, you need the proper toggle switch:
@ThePeeje: I'm with you man.
Also, I find it interesting how the ON part is pointing up, adding another level of wrongness to an already, very, VERY, wrong creation.
Man, Jebus is hung like a mule!
This switch is SO WRONG, and this thread is SO F'N FUNNY I nearly crapped my pants.
Man, this would go great under my George Carlin commemorative plates.
@Landor Sea:
HaHaHa... dude, that's hilarious!
Looks like Narcissus the RoboMouse standing by a puddle about to be turned on by his own reflection.
/no, I'm not on drugs.
Thank you ZAXXON; helloooo Centipede!
The blood of christ being wine, im suprised he can get turned on.
who'd have thought Christ himself would be looking for something a "little" "holey".
"for thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the gloryhole." Amen.
"C'mon kids - I am thy rod and thy staff!"
OMG!!!And I had one of these in my bed room for years and ... never got THAT!!! Lololol!!!
"Come unto the lord... and let the lord come unto you!"
"And you will know my name is The Lord! when i lay my vengeance upon thee!"
I've been trying to ask myself in moral conundrums, what would Jesus do?
I mean, i thought i had erred pretty badly at the elementary school the other day, but if JC says it's ok, well, who am i to argue?
@jeblis: LMFAO... Brilliant.
The perfect sales pitches: Turning on Jesus to "Let Your Light So Shine"
Or with a backwards Beatles (sick) slant: Turn Me On, Dead Man.
I'd wire it backwards, so that up was off. Not everyone likes to get it on with the lights on.
Aww, this so takes me back to Sunday School.
"This little light of mine...I'm gonna let it shine...Out in the dark, I'm gonna let it shine."
Do you think there is a dimmer on that at half mast?
I'm going to wash up now. Sorry.
Turns off like a lamb--turns on like a lion
This little light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine
This little light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine
Let it shine
Let it shine
Let it shine
This posting should be removed. Immediately.
It would be better if it was a Buddy Christ. Or at least not as creepy ...
Want.
Ahh! My parents have an incredibly similarly-styled light switch cover, but of Mary with a lamb or something. Same yellowish ivory plastic, probably made by the same manufacturer. I have to rummage around the house to see if they've got pervy Jesus.
i wanna get on my knees and please jesus. i want to feel his love all over my face...
ahhh i love south park.
You people are SO on the fast track to hell.......
Everybody sing!:
Jesus loves the little children...
All the little children of the world."
Ahhh, it's so warm an toasty here in hell. Much preferable to Minnesota!
ROFL... oh wow, sooooooo wrong. Yet, the irony.. it strikes me like a thunderbolt filled with godly anger!
"Mine eyes have seen the glory hole of the cumming of the Lord . . ."
Funniest post ever.
Um, just a thought... would anyone have the balls to make a Muhammed version of this?
I'm starting an email-writing campaign to have this post removed from Wikipedia immediately.
@Anoel:
Is that the type that also blows up your house when you turn on?
@mtopper:
Why? It's great.
