with that ribbon attached, it reminds me of a tacky bridal shower giveaway…at least this one you wouldn’t throw out, but rather pluck off the money before tossing the rest of it
#2 creepydolls, so this would be a perfect accessory for the ceramic hideaway owl, then.
I wish we had made these in Catholic school instead of just making crosses out of palm leaves. I could have been rich selling them, except of course, that was in the “olden days” before Etsy, or the internet.
Can I get the ribbon in red? And instead of a fan, can I have a Jesus attached? Someone with this calibur of paper-folding skills MUST be able to make a Jesus figure.
I’ll bet you a dollar that it sells before tomorrow. If I lose, I’ll origami a dollar into the likeness of a penis! The winner to pay postage and handling, please.
Yeah, that’s a rather unique gift. I bet people would just think: Who needs the actual cash? I absolutely prefer it this way!
Why not just use those paper toy dollars for this crap?
You know, we’re trying to come up with fundraising ideas for my 16 year old daughter’s orchestra to get to New York City next March. Maybe I should just fold up dollar bills, sell them for double what they’re worth.

If the cross is symbolic of Jesus, and the Christian faith…

Well, I still don’t rightly know what is going on here, but I have an inkling that somehow the “money tree seeds” from long ago are responsible, one way or another.

#27. There’s nothing to say that the person can’t pick off the money and use it. Unless it’s like, glued on and when you try to pull it off, it only comes off in teeny little pieces. That shite is annoying, no matter the paper used.
Looks like Southern hoodoo but if that’s what it was, the seller would give you your choice of ribbon color depending on what you’re praying for. So maybe it’s a manifestation of Prosperity Gospel, the barely Christian theology that treats God like an ATM. Or maybe it’s just a way to turn the last ten bucks in your pocket into twenty. Magic!
seriously? i mean ok it’s only $8 but… that’s still $7.
some of the other origami things are cool but if I really wanted any of that I’d just by a book and learn to make it myself, and all of could be done with regular paper?
#34 I guess it’s debatable, but if you are selling $10 for $20 because it has been made into a cross, doesn’t that imply the buyer will leave it as such? Or is stupid? Or both
@joshpincusiscrying – heh good thing i’m an atheist. but I wear a hand of miriam/eye of fatima/hamsa constantly. My grandmother is a german-jew. I think that says enough.

Just like Jesus, Regretsy dies on a Friday, spends a couple days in the tomb of No Posts, then rises from it’s ashes as a proud and beautiful phoenix on Easter…or the Day After, whatever. The symbolism is so deep, rich, and meaningful.

Naw Suda, I think the red-thumbers just have a log permanently imbedded in their asses. As much as I enjoy giving the log a good kick every now & then (yay, goading), I doubt my ability to affect thumbing.
April 2, 2010 at 4:32 pm
This is perfect. I always worship the All Mighty Dollar.
April 2, 2010 at 4:34 pm
When you need to snort your coke, you can just grab a bill off the cross!

April 2, 2010 at 4:49 pm
Oh, I get it. It’s an ironic statement on how people worship the almighty dollar. Trite, but I get it. Wait, it’s not?
April 2, 2010 at 4:49 pm
I’m sure Jesus would be thrilled by this.
April 2, 2010 at 4:49 pm
The little fan will come in handy, in case I get the Vapours or the Holy Ghost during services.
April 2, 2010 at 4:53 pm
The thumbs-downers are back. People’s numbers keep going down by one or two. Either that, or someone is really offended that we’re making fun of this.
April 2, 2010 at 4:54 pm
With the avalanche of lawsuits against the Cath. church, I bet they’d like to get a whole slew of these.
April 2, 2010 at 4:56 pm
oy. this is why people hate the U.S.

Now that I understand it’s a Dead Kennedys cross (good spotting, Skully!

But it’s been more than three days since the economy died.

The seller learned how to make these in Martha Stewart’s book: ‘How To Make Your $10 Cash Gift Look Less Lame’.

We’d make our goal in… half the time?
Wait, my math is wrong…

If somebody gave that to me as a gift I’d just pick the money off and roll my eyes haha.
At least you get half of what you paid for it back.

Maybe if they added some of the raspberry jam from the decapitated lamb it would be more realistic?
Jesus died for your sins but I’m making a $10 profit by folding crappy origami dollars on a cross. Oy.

I should have said(#13)about the Catholic church, is that they’d like to get their pedo-bear mitts on a shitload of these.
April 2, 2010 at 6:55 pm
Have y’all seen that “money in the soap” crap?

So you pay 20 bucks to get 10 bucks. I didn’t know Jesus was a con artist.
