Interesting. The seller has sold 3 works, 2 in 2010 and one in March 2011 and yet somehow assumes that increasing the price by 130% will make it more desirable to the people who wouldn’t pay $6,000 for it.
I’m in awe in those incredible Marketing-savvy people. I’ll never understand it…or pay this character for anything he does.
He had 2 sales in 2010 (1 a negative) and 1 in March 2011. This has been featured on Regretsy’s page AND Facebook page and didn’t sell at $6,000, so he hiked up the price by 133% to $15,000.
This is amazing. Being made in marble means this thing can last for centuries, long after the animation cells deteriorate and the vestiges of Beavis and Butthead fade from cultural memory. People might wonder who these ‘gods’ were that we worshipped! ;D
So we jump from Jesus laid in the tomb to worshiping the new media? I think we may have missed a station or two along the way. Like, maybe Steamboat Willy? Bugs Bunny? Scooby Do? (Can you tell I kinda predate the Beavis/Butthead generation?)
Bugs Bunny had fans, the Kardashians have worshippers.
Perhaps the “new media” bit refers to the most recent generation of media, that has been instilled with the paradigm of celebrity, the nature of which has been altered so dramatically since the 60′s and 70′s.
People have always liked their entertainment/media, but now our lives are dominated by it instead of accompanied by it.
…just my contribution to the existential part of the discussion!
According to this page, the first fourteen stations are apparently non-satirical. So, you are supposed to walk down the fourteen stations (wasn’t there 12?) and then out of the blue, also done in marble, you are blessed by Beavis and Butthead (blessed: see their hands?).
I can see people buying this as a joke. I think for $15,000 (the current price), the joke’s on the buyer.

Things like this are the best reason to make a Kickstarter. Because I need this. And someone else needs to pay for it. Cool?
July 14, 2012 at 9:38 am
Awesome! I want that for my garden. I’m only short about $5,975.
July 14, 2012 at 12:25 pm
You’ve more loot than me.
may I borrow $20?
July 14, 2012 at 9:41 am
Beavis wept.
July 14, 2012 at 9:41 am
It’s an almost perfect balance between totally awesome and amazingly awful. Neither can win.

I AM THE GREAT CORNHOLIO…GIVE ME TP FOR MY BUNGHOLE…AND $6000 TO PAY FOR THIS…
July 14, 2012 at 9:46 am
Beavis and Butthead 3-D in marble…did anyone else just feel the earth tremble?
July 14, 2012 at 10:31 am
Could have been an epic fart.
July 14, 2012 at 11:21 am
Heh, heh…that would be cool…
July 14, 2012 at 9:53 am
I wonder if the artist take Futurama commissions. My flower bed is just begging for Hypnotoad!
July 14, 2012 at 6:15 pm
But only if it comes complete with sound effects button and holographic eyes. Or maybe eyes that move with solar power. Something.

This is what Etsy was supposed to be for! Genius.

Item was removed by the seller. IDK why, it was skillfully made & beautiful!
July 14, 2012 at 11:18 am
This is a repost from last year. It’s still for sale, now for $15K.

Maybe he really doesn’t want to sell it.

Say, anybody else getting the mobile site version of Regretsy if they use the link from the RSS feed?
July 14, 2012 at 11:58 am
I did. But you can easily switch it from on to off at the bottom to get the not-mobile view. Hopefully it will remember this preference.

That frightens me.

A sign of the Apocalypse. The two headed Beast rose from beneath the earth spouting the words “Dumbass, Dillhole, Fartknocker”…
July 15, 2012 at 11:27 am
I had to create an account here on Regretsy to tell you that YOU, yes YOU have won the internets for this comment. Congratulations!
July 14, 2012 at 12:15 pm
So. Flipping. Awesome.
July 14, 2012 at 1:03 pm
As a Catholic, I’m probably going to Hell for laughing at this.
July 14, 2012 at 3:53 pm
That’s OK. You’re balanced out by me, a Jew with a fondness for Church history and art, who’s looking at it and going, what? Huh? Nooooo!
July 14, 2012 at 1:28 pm
MTV on the Halfshell
July 14, 2012 at 1:50 pm
dude. worth every cent.
July 14, 2012 at 3:50 pm
Wait. For $6,000, I at least expect a COMPLETE SET of the Stations of the Cross.
July 14, 2012 at 5:34 pm
Does this make Daria the Virgin Mary lawn statue?
July 14, 2012 at 7:23 pm
Yes, please?

July 14, 2012 at 8:03 pm
I can answer that. There used to be 12. They’ve been redone and rearranged, with new stations.
$15,000.00 is a bit rich for my blood, but I do adore this in a special, oh-so-sacrilegious way.
July 15, 2012 at 5:57 am
I guess the revised 14 stations is part of Crucifixion 2.0. The amended version with B&B blessing make it Crucifixion 2.1.
July 14, 2012 at 8:00 pm
Well, bless my soul.
July 14, 2012 at 8:09 pm
so my plan is to be cremated and blow around in the wind… but if i can get this beauty for my tombstone, i’ll be buried under this for evah!
July 15, 2012 at 9:31 am
At that price, Beavis should be in profile!
July 15, 2012 at 6:47 pm
“Both project were very involved and took extension research.”
hehehe
July 15, 2012 at 11:30 pm
Only if Laverne and Shirley had twins..
July 16, 2012 at 8:38 am
“Heh heh, heh heh, it’s not mass, it’s ASS!”
I pity the Catholic priest that molests Beavis and Butthead. I can so see them getting drunk on sacramental wine.
“Heh heh, he said virgin.”
