At CNN:
For $31.95, you don’t have to wait for a miracle to see Jesus on your daily bread. Look no further than the Jesus Toaster.
Dively’s company, Burnt Impressions, also offers toasters that imprint images of the Virgin Mary, peace signs and pot leaves amoung others.
Dively tells CNN affiliate WCAX right now, he’s selling 50 to 100 Jesus toasters every day.
And of course, a commenter, William Demuth, would write:
Jewish Christmas Carols, crucifixes made by Chinese slave labor, and now mass produced religious icons.
If we can’t convince them to be rational, perhaps we can bankrupt them with chachki’s?
I have it! A Shroud Of Turin SNUGGIE!

Dan, alike Di Lazzaro and Mura, you seem to know only positive pareidolia and keep neglecting or ignore negative pareidolia. This is an intellectually much biased presentation of perceptual illusions, don’t you think?
And I don’t even speak of both negative and positive pareidolias co-existing in the same image…

Ok Dan. I will e-mail you a couple of images which are negative pareidolia. Too bad you alike Di Lazzaro and Murra wrote about pareidoia without having ever experienced or even heard of negative pareidolia. Actually you might well have already experienced some negative pareidolia without even noticing it…
