I suppose it has more of a Christian symbology that 99% of Easter eggs

And the idiot artist probably thinks that "my sweet lord" is a Christian
reference when in fact it comes from a Beatles song and is an invocation to
Krishna.

I think it's the sculptor's (do you sculpt chocolate or stick it lump by
lump on a frame?) title which is offensive rather than the subject
matter.

In the rather beautiful chapel at TASC near Leeds there's a very ugly
(aesthetically speaking) image of Christ in agony on the Cross - just
visible on:

www.leedstrinity.ac.uk/chaplaincy/gallery/pages/chap7_jpg.htm (also
chap8.jpg)

Some people no doubt find it offensive - nothing new about finding the
Cross an offence! - and it will be there all through Holy Week, but I
doubt it will be removed to avoid upsetting Catholics.
