Not that this is in any way "sac-religious", It's pretty funny in a thought provoking ironic sort of way. If you are driving northbound on Binford Blvd. and 71st, you can catch a glimps of a large billboard promoting the new Sacred Spain exhibit at the IMA. In the billboard, is a picture of Jesus on the cross. Just behind that in the background sets a McDonnald's.

Am I just looking to deep into the surface of this one or am I right to think that there is some "below the surface" implement here. I look up to see the man who suposably died for our sins, and just bellow that is the very monumental structure that symbolizes one of our deadliest sins; gluttony.

If you actually view this at the right angle you can also see the bilboard just under the golden arches. This is even more strange because it appears as if Jesus in being hung on the Arches. Of course the irony here is that just above Jesus, the phrase "Over one billion served" is displayed.
