Normally we never write about Singapore. It is not in our remit. But because of the BuddhaBus controversy this story is noteworthy.

In Singapore a cosmetics line that extolled the virtues of ‘Lookin’ Good for Jesus’ has been pulled from stores.

The Straits Times said promising to ‘Redeem your reputation and more,’ the product line included a ‘virtuous vanilla’ flavored lip balm and a ‘Get Tight with Christ’ hand and body cream.

Wing Tai RetailTopshop removed the line after receiving complaints.

Nick Chui, 27, one of the complainants, said, ‘These products trivialize Jesus Christ and Christianity. There are also sexual innuendoes in the messages and the way Jesus is portrayed in these products.’

The report quoted 24-year-old accountant Grace Ong as saying, ‘Why would anyone use religious figures to promote vanity products? It’s very disrespectful and distasteful.’
