Sorry.
It better be rock gospel songs inside and Imagine using this for praying
maybe it ships with some christian rock music
Finally, a player to listen to JusTice on!
Engadget has already posted about this sometime ago.

lol, this is such OLD news....they have these wholesale... http://www.chinagrabber.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=1042
Jesus-friendly? They hung him up on one of those.
Wouldn't Jesus prefer to be nailed to this tiny, shiny and smooth crucifix instead of the huge wooden cross, including splinters, he ended up with?
This thing is a lot Jesus-friendlier to carry up a mountain, to say the least.
hahaha. Bill hicks ftw!
wasn't Jesus tethered to the cross?
I believe historians are very certain about that. Romans didn't nail during that time. Anyway.... couldn't imagine playing Quake with a "Rope Gun".
it was normal in the times of crucifixion to be tethered, but in Jesus' case, he was nailed.
well wasn't he special.
Well I'd say he was.
When the battery dies do you have to wait 3 days before it comes back to life?
An entire 1-2 thousand years of glorifying pain and suffering all wrapped up into a neat package and made into all sorts of things from building toppers to necklaces to MP3 players. Thanks Communist Jesus. Your followers wouldn't actually know what to do if you were still alive, so just stay dead on that cross and let them make money off you.
"...a very Jesus-friendly form factor..."
Read your Bible. :) The cross was not so friendly to Jesus.
The poor man may have been nailed to a stake or post (stauros), not a cross, depending on how you translate the Greek texts. So, many makes of MP3 player could symbolise Christ's execution.
theres a cap for the original ipod shuffle that makes it look like a cross
oh well
PRAISE JEBUS
Jebus?
Praise JESUS! :-D
@Aguiluz
It was a Simpsons reference, move along.
So is this the MP3 player where bad music goes to die?
No. They go to die in Wal-Mart.
The power of Christ compels me...to bludgeon anyone who I see wearing this piece of crap.
sounds like the crusades...oh, how wonderful christianity is.

"At long last"?
now lets redo that scene from Exorcist in which the girl masturbates with the mp3 crucifix :drool:
...
No.
You've never been laid have you?
no not yet - im waiting for ps3 home so i can meet my new gf in the virtual world :nerd:
In that case i'll let you off.
@ gabe
let me guess, shes from canada
Gabe-- the scene as I see it: [ RIAA possessed Regan to Father Carass:] "Your mother sucks Spocks in Dell!"
how erotic... dude, Is your real name Lucifer??
Christians... they never fail to come up with something stupid
@J
What an incredibly bigoted statement! The company that manufactured this is not a Christian company. Neither are the other companies that manufacture some of the laughable crap Engadget features.
Get over your bigotry! Christians don't come up with stupid things - people do. Their beliefs don't enter into it.
@ J
Your a douche.
@Stiv
Well Said.
@J
I agree with you totally brother. One time I got tipped a piece of chocolate that had Jesus crucified on a cross. One of my co-workers asked me "why aren't you eating it, is because you don't believe he was crucified?"
I replied "No, I just don't feel right biting my prophets head off."
Christians do make dumb things. For example, Diamond studded cross jewelry... Jesus lived his life giving to others, living poorly and humble. I'm very sure that if he was alive today, he would be very disappointed with such things.
@Hotrod
I think its just easier to just where your glasses and re-read what Stiv just said than waiting for him to re type what he just said... its not Christians..its people that are stupid.
Christianity didnt make the priest rape the little boy.. its the priest that raped the little boy.
Its not Christianity that made the church going Obama puff that reefa ..its Obama that wanted to puff that reefa.
etc.etc.
@ J
Cut the guy some slack. I think a long look at what Christians do in the name of Christ will soon create a huge list of, not only stupid, but irrelevant things they have come up with in an effort to 'spread the word'.
repost lol http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/12/cross-mp3-player-keeps-the-faith/
it doesn't appear to be the same one...
- capacity
- features
- colour
- brand print
Yeah I was gonna say Engadget has already posted an article about a cross shaped mp3 player.
So, what I want to know:
The Rio Karma has a mode to invert the screen display for lefties.
Does this have a similar option?
"Wouldn't Jesus prefer to be nailed to this tiny, shiny and smooth crucifix instead of the huge wooden cross, including splinters, he ended up with?"
I agree. At least he would die for our sins while listening to his favorite rock band.
Creed?
Can I put Amy Grant MP3s on this, or is she too secular?
Listening to Amy Grant is worse than burning in the fires of hell.
How about some Marilyn Manson? Or is he too satanic?
(I'm not a Christian and I don't particularly like Marilyn Manson to be honest. However, Muse is good and Matt Bellamy's an atheist, like myself)
Teo, with a line?!!
Why, was Rio with a line, taken?
Lol!
I kinda like Manson. :) Love me some Muse too!
"...cross-cum-MP3..."
Why latin? "...cross-WITH-..." has the same effect.
Yes, but "with" is rarely used as a preposition between two hyphens.
Will it play "Christian Woman" by Type O Negative?
No.
Ummm... de ja vu. You guys totally posted this before.
I didn't know Christians used computers
Let me know when they make a big gold star-of-david MP3 player
Maybe it's a Justice tie-in?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justice_%28French_band%29
If you bought two of these players, you'd end up being double-crossed by TEO.
Good for warding off music-loving vampires.
i want that to put death metal on, and maybe a audiobook by Richard Dawkins
I guess why should the devil have all the good music .. players?
WWJD??
WTFWJD
WW(ouldn't)JD?
I do admit that us christians do make some products that just make me scratch my head and ask why.
Case and point:
I saw a jesus pinata at a church function one time. Little five year olds bludgoning the paper mache likeness of Jesus Christ had to be one of the weirder moments in my spiritual journey...
...why?
I'm going to listen to nothing but JUSTICE on this.
i guess id better get one so i have an excuse
GREAT! Now I can carry my "The New Testament Audiobook, lecture by Christopher Walken" with me on my chest!
First song I'd upload.....Jesus Built My Hotrod
Can't wait for the Magen David version.
Nah, I can wait.
"...bludgeon anyone who I see wearing this piece of crap."
"Christians... they never fail to come up with something stupid "
"Listening to Amy Grant is worse than burning in the fires of hell."
"I didn't know Christians used computers"
Why all the hate?
Well, WRT Amy Grant, de gustibus non est disputandum.
Can't call despising a particular artist the same sort of hate as the others, IMHO.
On second thought, the first one probably is also different.
It is undeniably fugly, and bludgeoning people possessed of no fashion sense is a time-honored tradition. Take his lunch money, too!
@J
END YOUR LIFE
@Stiv
Ur a Sav
That is a disgusting design.
I think this player is nothing new, see this
http://www.allpmp.com/gallery.php?id=81
Exactly like this one.
I still say they should make hollow chocolate Jesuses (Jesii?) with cherry filling for Easter.
Jesus’ playlist?
1. Fade to Black - Metallica
2. I’ll Be Missing You - Puff Daddy
3. Dead Man’s Curve - Jan and Dean
4. The End - Jim Morrison
5. Cats In the Cradle - Cat Stevens
and the only really good one I can think of,
6. Papa Can You Hear Me - Nelson Muntz (in the Simpson’s episode where he cries out to his dad who went missing after leaving the house to grab a pack of cigarettes)
Well, it’s funny cause it just is.
Sorry but this is quite old new and with old I posten this on my blog like 1,5 yr ago, that aside it still is a stupid though funny thing :p
Turn it upside down and it brings satan. It's a 2in1.
question is can it fight vampires?
So now you can listen to your stolen MP3's and pray to Jesus for forgiveness at the same time. ;)
i am replacing my jesus chain with a diamond crusted version of this on a cord
Nothing new...I have this for my 1st gen iPod shuffle.
http://www.boingboing.net/2005/10/24/ipod-shuffle-cross-c.html
It's Vampire-proof.
I just threw up a little in my mouth...
That's hilarious in a really pathetic kind of way. Anyone wearing or using that will so get beat up.
bunch of people saying incredibly typical over-said non-funny things on both sides of the faux-debate here
word!
Being highly atheist I am against this mp3 player. I don't believe in god or jesus or any of that. In fact I think it is just stupidity. Keep in mind this is just what I think, if you feel differently fine, but leave me out of it. Exactly why this mp3 player should not be sold, by a store such as Best Buy carrying this item people may start to think that they are more 'god' friendly and there for only care about there religious customers. I don't think that is right. I think that peoples religions should be kept for there home and there church or 'holy' place. Oh and I know that I am going to be bombarded with replies saying how 'unholy' I am for not believing in god... well I would rather not be like a piece of swiss cheese.
