We're not all like that. Sweeping generalizations are so yesterday. Second, I noticed right away the "Houston, TX" part of it because my husband and I saw a Santa Claus car in Houston in 2005. It was a bright red Geo Metro that was covered with Christmas ornaments. There was an enormous fiberglass Santa hat on top of the car, and the fellow who was driving the car looked quite a bit like St. Nick. First of all, Ross F.? We're not all like that.

I think it's bashing Christians. I don't think it's first intention was to seek attention, but was probably something a little more cathartic. God knows how annoying Christians can be. Curb your children, creator of the universe. Bashing Jesus? I think it's bashing Christians.

I didn't look too closely at this car, but I've seen it both in the Art Car parade and around town. What I do know is that there are many many more art cars that put this one to shame. This link has a good number of examples: http://www.flickr.com/photos/bizarrerecords/sets/72157594338953574/ Another Houstonian chiming in here...

Just chalked it up to a cultural thing I didn't understand being from way up north. I used to bust out my camera phone at such sights but it's so old hat now. The craziest ones always come out at Christmas. Never seen this one before though.

The owner would be prosecuted. But, since it's only bashing Jesus, it's chic and fun...?

Be like driving an anti-jebus car in Iraq. I really like the jebus and banana theme on top. LOL This car has my 2 walking darwin fish put to shame. Saying passé is really passé.

I have to agree, a lot of confusing messages going on there. Fun car nonetheless. one of the decals does say "artcar fest '03" on it.

Every year we have an Art Car at the beginning of the summer and people decorate their cars in all sorts of crazy ways, have a parade of it, and then drive the cars around the city for the rest of the year. The man may have something against Jesus, or he may be poking fun at the bible beater part of Texas culture. Lighten up. As a Houstonian, I can speak accurately when I say that it's an Art Car.

If he really had 'stones' he'd do an anti-Mo car. Bashing Christians is so passe, but it doesn't get you blown up. Go play in traffic Ross.
