Now, we already know that anyone can find some crazy things on EBay these days. Things are auctioned off and sold every day from a celebrity's state-of-the-art custom painted vehicle to furniture, cosmetics and even rumored bodily fluids! So, it should be no surprise that a whole pizza was spotted on the auction site to be rewarded to the highest bidder. But why would anyone bid on a pizza?!
This fully cooked, three-cheese pie from Posh Pizza in Australia is said to have the face of Jesus embedded in it! It seems to have gone into the oven just like any other pizza and come out the other end with a holy blessing none of the others were privy to. Now dubbed the "Cheesus Pizza", it's toppings have certainly made an impact on those lucky enough to have witnessed it first hand. The owner of Posh Pizza was quoted in the article insisting the pie is not a fake and stating that she'd even had some good luck since the edible miracle came along. Of course, the fact that she avoided a parking ticket for being in a loading zone couldn't be due to merely no one noticing she parked there or maybe a police officer smelling the doughy goodness on her hoping for an early lunch bribe.
Could this culinary wonder really be as miraculous as some are saying it is or is it simply a slow day for the media? Either way, it's clear that some people in the world must be desperate to see even the smallest things as divine intervention. Maybe it means God is trying to tell us to eat healthier and stay away from over processed and heated grease traps. Maybe it means pizza will someday be the only food us humans can rely on for nourishment. Maybe the teen cook in the back that put it in the oven actually burned the pizza and saw the opportunity to keep his job while making his boss famous!
Do all minds automatically assume the face in the cheese is Jesus? I encourage you to do a Google search for images of Brad Pitt. Take a look at the more recent photos with his long hair, full mustache and beard, in particular. Now, look back at the picture of the pizza in the article. *Gasp*! Oh my! It's really our beloved Brad trying to tell us something! And, in some parts of the world, were he spotted walking along a river bank in the woods, I'm sure some local would holler out, "Big Foot!" before realizing he is, in fact, their favorite actor behind all of that hair. They would sincerely believe they've caught a glimpse of the hairy beast everyone hears about until they get up close though, wouldn't they?
Personally, however, when it comes to pizza (and no, this is not merely due to the fact that my pregnant mind has taken over for the most part), my primary concern is how the pie tastes! Of course it shouldn't look like crap, but I'm sure that if I sat down and over analyzed every pizza I ate, I might even be able to spot Jay Leno's face in there a time or two!! But I would still eat what I paid for, not put it up on EBay!
The owner has promised to donate the proceeds from its auction to charity. I would guess that one aimed at feeding the hungry would be appropriate. It may not be fish, but maybe she can find a way to make one pizza feed thousands!
With all of this attention on the pizza, I can't help but wonder what will come of it next. If someone called and ordered that certain kind of pizza before they even put it in the oven, who's to say it wasn't meant to be theirs? With my chin up in the air and my nose wrinkled while inhaling a few whiffs around me, I think I smell a new garlic crust and a few law suits in their near future! Of course, like the image of a divine face showing up in a few layers of cooked cheese, it could all just be in my head.
The "Cheesus Pizza" was said to have a total of 26 bids and ended up racking in $153 Australian! That's one expensive slice of heaven!
