Based on musing in another conversation, an exploration and subsequent failure at finding anything useful with the search terms 'stigmata wrapping paper' or 'jezus wrapping paper' on either Google or Froogle tells me there's a market opportunity left untapped.

But "Jesus wrapping paper" does produce links to where such can be purchased. Perhaps your second search may have suggested this?

What an interesting misspelling of mine.

I have to say, though, the first result has a really inappropriate background for the item offered.

Not anymore, you fool!

I am all for you getting rich on Christian piety.

I'd do a market study first. There may be a better market in Christian mockery, but that's not really my bag. As a baptized-only Catholic, I'd feel more comfortable exploiting my own people.

Excommunication wrapping paper!

www.accoutrements.com has some Jesus stuff, I think they even have Jesus gift wrap and Jesus tape, not to mention a Jesus action figure, air freshener, and pencil toppers.

It is the same one as I am seeing at Urban Outfitters and that eBay auction. Some printing house seemingly made tons, and it is making its way through retail.

Well, people love their Jesus. I can tell you that I sell the action figure & air freshener in my store & they're both hot items. I never know whether people buy them for kitch value, or in seriousness.

I'm totally ordering the biohazard paper as soon as BB isn't looking.

Just so you know, there are items on that site that even manage to offend me.

Did you check

Archie McPhee's? Sounds like something they'd carry...
