There are plenty of ways to send Christians into a froth-mouthed rage, but artist Cosimo Cavallaro seems to have struck upon an intriguingly brand new one – he’s made a life-sized chocolate statue of Jesus being crucified with his balls out.

Cavallaro’s chocolate Jesus statue – titled My Sweet Lord – was all set to be exhibited at the Lab Gallery in New York this week, but after a flurry of outrage from high-ranking Catholics, seemingly furious that an artist has insinuated that Jesus had normal genitalia, the chocolate Jesus show has been cancelled. It’s undoubtedly a disappointment for CosimoCavallaro , though, who didn’t even have time to pump the chocolate Jesus full of Cadbury’s Creme Egg filling so that delicious fondant squirted out of his crucifixion wounds.
