pocket holy bible

I’d love to go totally nuts on this one. I’d love to say that this is beyond most boundaries of bad taste. I’d love to talk about how this unholy union of religious material and cheap plastic injection molding have made this new genre of “religitech”. Or is that “faith based memory”?

But I won’t. I’ll just let you read the real blurb from Skymall themselves. Who better to be a vessel for the Lord himself, than a large corporation, with a 1-800 number.

Ps.
When I was on a flight recently and saw this in Skymall, I swear to God, but there was a guy a few seats over that was actually reading from the Bible. As I walked passed him when I alighted from the plane, I casually dropped the magazine in the seat next to him, with the page, left accidentally on the page with the USB Bible.

I looked back and he looked uninterrested in it.

Shame.
