Well then, I am hereby calling this person’s artistic ability into question, because I saw the mousetrap too. The people look happy about it, though. Maybe there’s a giant rat terrorizing the village? That’s how the story goes, right? …I need to brush up on my Jew-facts.
I saw the same thing, and I’m thinking I could make a pretty penny by hot gluing some rubber gloves, a mouse trap, and a few dozen Polly Pockets to a board.
I don’t know what you losers are bitching about – almost a million bucks for something I’m pretty sure my eight-year-old could have painted? A total bargain!
I have no idea what this is supposed to represent based on the description. So just going off the image I can assume that at some point in time God is going to drop a big fucking mouse trap on all of us???
There are fucking Picassos that go for less. I don’t understand these people at all.
I wonder what the highest price for something sold on Etsy was? It may give these sellers some perspective into who they are in the art world– or the real world, for that matter. I wonder where they get the balls to assume something they made is that valuable?
You’re only allowed to list things up to $100,000. Frankly I think the odds of something legitimately worth that much being sold on Etsy is kinda slim.
Someone studied Klimt too much. And I had no idea basketball was such a sacred Jewish thing. (That IS a b-ball court, right?) I hate lazy sellers who write descriptions in all caps. WHY ARE YOU SCREAMING AT ME?! Piss off. I propose a new acronym: AC;DR.

For lo, the Wailing wall shall be gilded and glittery, and the hand of the Lord shalt deliver the Golden Sheet Cake, and there shall be rejoicing in the land.
And on the 8th day, God said “Let there be basketball”. And lo, a giant basketball court descended from the heavens unto the people of Isreal. And the Harlem Beith Hamikdash Globetrotters won their first game CIX to LXXIII. And God saw that it was good.
Thenar/hypthenar wasting, generalized atrophy of the digits, a Heberden’s or Bouchard’s nodule, and whiteness of the hands…I say we’re looking at cubital and ulnar tunel, rheumatoid or osteoarthritis, and Raynaud’s phenomenon…
God is a very hard worker and dedicated to his repetitive tasks, the baker, referee, and pest control person in the sky.
Is Gabriel or Michael responsible for heavenly worker’s comp?
Well, he is modest and reasonable with the pricing. And I finally figured out what I was seeing. The fingers on “the hand of yahweh”, clearly this guy is an animator on “Adventure Time”.
Ok so, the comments about this looking like a mousetrap had me thinking…
I just bought my 3 year old daughter the ‘Fievel Goes West’ movie at Wal-mart the other day. We’ve had to watch it with her approximately 500 times already. At the end, the mice are tricked by the cats to sit in the stands in celebration of their new town, but really the whole thing is a giant mouse trap.
AND, Fievel’s family are Russian…Russian Jews maybe??
Maybe a spoiler warning would be good here, you know, so those of us who haven’t seen Fievel Goes West and were planning on watching it….oh never mind, I’m messing with ya. Thumbs up.
The truly miraculous thing about this product description is that there was only enough punctuation for one paragraph but it managed to last for eight. Happy Capslockah

“half price”? I think someone needs to go back to remedial math class.

Oy-vey! like totes mashuga!
December 21, 2011 at 6:04 pm
Looks like a giant mousetrap.
December 21, 2011 at 6:06 pm
That is exactly what I thought.

In the Bible version, it’s an incredibly complicated Rube Goldberg contraption.
December 21, 2011 at 7:33 pm
Wasn’t one of those books from the seventies “Mousetraps of the Gods”?
December 21, 2011 at 6:16 pm
Me too, a giant heavy gold mousetrap.
December 21, 2011 at 6:39 pm
With a basketball court on it.
December 21, 2011 at 9:47 pm
Well, that is totally worth 99 Gazillion Dollars then. And on sale!
December 21, 2011 at 11:06 pm
see my comment below!
(I actually like seasoned Matzoh with butter as a snack)
December 22, 2011 at 8:18 am
well, my temple did have a basketball court…
December 21, 2011 at 6:20 pm
damn I need to learn to type faster.
December 21, 2011 at 6:27 pm
If you build a better mousetrap, they will come. *giggle*
December 21, 2011 at 8:41 pm
I saw the same thing, and I’m thinking I could make a pretty penny by hot gluing some rubber gloves, a mouse trap, and a few dozen Polly Pockets to a board.
December 21, 2011 at 10:59 pm
I see a basketball court but that doesn’t make sense. Jews don’t play basketball
December 21, 2011 at 6:04 pm
Someone did the currency conversion wrong.
I hope.
December 21, 2011 at 6:05 pm
Gee, and shipping is only $500!
December 21, 2011 at 7:23 pm
An eagle with a prayer shawl better drop it off at my doorstep for that much money
December 22, 2011 at 10:38 am
But if you buy another item, it’s only $250.
December 21, 2011 at 6:06 pm
That’s almost exactly what I owe on my mortgage. Maybe they’ll except a trade? I’d obviously be getting the better deal.
December 21, 2011 at 6:58 pm
I have a 100 Grand candy bar. Seems like the better trade to me.
December 21, 2011 at 6:07 pm
It looks like a weird rectangular goatse to me. *ducks*
December 21, 2011 at 7:58 pm
Goatse in the Sky with Glitter!

The hands of God feeling the tuckus of God – and we’re on the inside!

I would make fun of the spelling and grammar, but…
December 21, 2011 at 6:09 pm
Yeah, there’s a rule, you don’t get to call it a masterpiece if you are the one who made it.

…no?
December 21, 2011 at 6:11 pm
Such a deal! Take two, they’re small!
Thank you, I’ll be here until Tuesday. Try the veal.
December 21, 2011 at 6:12 pm
*Derp; I added a zero in my head. Still…almost a hundred grand…an even better bargain!

And on the 1337th day, Gawd created mousetraps. And they were good.
December 21, 2011 at 9:35 pm
No,no, if you zoom in you can see it is a giant golden sheet cake. AND God has gold nail polish!!
December 21, 2011 at 9:49 pm

You’re only allowed to list things up to $100,000. Frankly I think the odds of something legitimately worth that much being sold on Etsy is kinda slim.
Now, THIS: http://www.etsy.com/listing/58793938 is probably worth $43,000.
December 21, 2011 at 6:52 pm
His shop is amazing. I’m not Jewish, but I understand a lot of the symbolism. I want that pomegranate.
December 21, 2011 at 6:58 pm
The dreidel in there he made is amazing and most likely worth the 2300.00. His craftsmanship is astounding
December 22, 2011 at 6:01 am
holy shit, its not an even an INCH TALL according to my handy dandy metric to us converter.
so worth it. not that I have that kind of money, but so worth it.
December 24, 2011 at 6:56 pm
I think your converter might be broken, since 400mm is 40cm which is just shy of 16 inches tall…
December 21, 2011 at 6:29 pm
The the Lord said to us, “Enlarge the size, for Lo, it is magnifico.”
And I did as commanded.
And I noticed, forsooth, far too many shadows for the worshippers, and the Hassidic faithful stuffed into a corner and I said,
“Lord, are they going to get to use the basketball court, too? For the foul line is ready, but the hoop is offset.”
“Yes, my child,” said He.
“Lord?”
“What now?”
“What about the green ninja in the bottom right corner? Is he too visible to remain a ninja for long?”
“Lo, I shall teach him the ways of stealth.”
“Oh, okay. Hashem?”
“Go the fuck to sleep.”
December 21, 2011 at 8:20 pm
That was magnificent. I laughed my ass off. Bravo, I appreciate it.
Oh man…
December 21, 2011 at 8:55 pm
Oh, thank you, sweetling, for lo, I live to blow sunshine up people’s asses! Have a great evening!

December 21, 2011 at 8:29 pm
Surely I’m not the only one who read the proposed new acronym as AC/DC. Which, I guess, makes the screaming appropriate.
December 21, 2011 at 6:58 pm
Love the shop name. Makes me think “Jewy Shart.”
December 21, 2011 at 7:15 pm
Ah, so the old stereotype of the Jew being rich is true! Sell their mother for a few sheckles! What’s with the elf in the corner anyway?
December 21, 2011 at 7:29 pm
That’s Kyle Broflovskifrom Southpark.
December 21, 2011 at 8:04 pm
Is it wrong to say tl;dr ?? Seriously, a firm study of actual scripture doesn’t take that long.
Let the red thumbs commence.
December 21, 2011 at 8:58 pm
I’d say “Shitty Grammar; Didn’t Read” would also be acceptable…
December 22, 2011 at 10:12 am
Shitty grammar in ALL CAPS. With no paragraphs.
December 21, 2011 at 8:20 pm
You know what they say. If someone says it’s a $198,000 value but offer it for $99,000, then it’s not really a $198,000 value.
December 21, 2011 at 8:21 pm
A bargain at a quarter of the reduced price, I’m sure.
December 21, 2011 at 8:39 pm
God needs a manicure. Or anti-fungal cream or something.
December 21, 2011 at 8:44 pm
Ugh, this just reinforces the stereotype that Jews are just out for money!
I swear, there’s more to us…like food, cheap wine, and mothers trying to set up their daughters with nice doctors.

What the heck are those green octopus things? are they climbing the wall or floating or what?
December 21, 2011 at 10:38 pm
I’d convert for cake, especially for such special delivery.
December 21, 2011 at 9:49 pm
That’s just odd. I wish I could say something more interesting than that. And, it does look like a giant mousetrap.
All the people at the bottom are cheering for the giant mousetrap thing that a big ole pair of hands is bringing down to them.
December 21, 2011 at 10:42 pm
And on the 8th day, God said “Let there be basketball”. And lo, a giant basketball court descended from the heavens unto the people of Isreal. And the Harlem Beith Hamikdash Globetrotters won their first game CIX to LXXIII. And God saw that it was good.

I have to say, God’s hand-bones in that picture are ALL WRONG.
