I know how bad you guys wanted to see this thing again. Apparently it's a hoax.
Creepy baby Jesus head soul-saving website

Never mind the Lord, have you accepted the Flash plug-in yet? On this very strange web page, a disembodied baby Jesus head floating in html space cries or laughs when you click on His head. The website says, "The Baby Jesus can save you from the pain and suffering of the world and all He asks of you is that you return His love Also visit our shop for Baby Jesus gifts." Do they mean the baby Jesus, or this animated doppelganger? And when they say Baby Jesus gifts, do they mean gifts for Jesus, in keeping with the season, or Jesus-branded schwag? Just asking. Link to "The Interactive Baby Jesus Head" (Thanks ACM)
Update: Hmmm, is this a hoax? Well, duh! Don't the words "anti-fornication thong" mean anything to you people?
BoingBoing reader Bryan says, "I was intrigued (and disturbed) by the Baby Jesus. Wondering what type of strange religious group created this, I WHOISed the site. Interestingly, it is registered to a company called "IdeaFlood, Inc.," which is based, apparently, in Nevada. So, I went to the Nevada Department of State website, and found out that one "Brian Shuster" is the registered agent for the corporation. A quick google search of his name, and voila!, pr0n and the Creepy Baby Jesus have quite a bit in common. Worse, the guy has a patent on pop-up ads!"
