Jesus and George: the video


The Jesus and George cartoon, made by Scott and Will Thatch

This short animation, posted just a few hours ago on YouTube, cleverly and brutally imagines a meeting between George W Bush and Jesus Christ in the master bedroom of the White House. As Bush kneels before his bed praying, a bearded man appears before him, a dove hovering at his shoulder. "Oh my God!" screams Bush. A split-second later, the president reaches for a shotgun and blows away the dove, the Holy Spirit I guess, leaving Christ spattered with viscera. "That's right Osama," says Bush. "And there's more where that came from." Jesus, who had looked somewhat swarthy, magically transforms himself into a blue-eyed blonde. "Perhaps this will help," he says, clearly a little exasperated. The cartoon, made by Scott and Will Thatch, then moves to Guantanamo Bay where Dick Cheney is seen eating the hearts of Muslim inmates. Seemingly it is just the first in a series of similarly themed animations. To follow the future exploits of Jesus and George go here.
