Have you ever woken up,trying to remember that greatidea that you had during thenight – only to find out it wasthe result of indigestion morethan inspiration? If so, you’llunderstand the inspiration ofthe annual Bad Burrito Awardsfor “What were they thinking?”examples of offering productsand services for believers.

The first Bad Burrito Awardsfeatured an upside-downChristmas tree, de -signed to leave max-imum room forgifts.

This year, Men -orah Trees (menorahtree.com) winthe award fordesigning a Men -orah that looks likeeight Christmas treebranches — justdon’t add candles.

Jews who enjoyplaying with dreidelduring Hanukkahbut think the top istoo old-fashioned are in lucknow that No Limit TexasDreidel Game (texasdreidel.com) has been introduced. Itcombines dreidel with poker.

Another game, Holy Rat(myholyapps.com), allows youto serve as a guardian angel tohelp lead the rat to its promisedland. There are a lot of “cheesy”mobile games, but this onetakes the cake — and a burrito.

Speaking of things to eat, theproject funding platformKickstarter and Sucré Bleucompany (lesucrebleu.com) col-laborated for the idea of creat-ing a chocolate Jesus sprinkledwith sea salt. A product in suchpoor taste also deserves a badburrito.

If you are looking for a dis-tinctive way to share Jesus, onegroup wins an award for usingbody graffiti in the form of bill-boards with a tattoo embla-zoned Christ, with words like“outcast” and “addicted” toshow how Jesus bears our sins.While the billboards attractattention (jesustattoo.org), whatmessage is it sharing?

When it comes to signs, thesigns displayed by WestboroBaptist Church followers atfunerals are universally de -spised.

This April Fools Day, mem-bers outdid themselves bytweeting several “humorous”messages, including “Hey,guess what? The Lord GodAlmighty has not pronouncedeternal condemnation againstall sodomites.” That’s worthy oftweeting them a Bad Burrito

Award.Costco shopper and pastor

Caleb Kaltenbach noticed that aCostco store had put price tagson Bibles labeled “fiction” andproceeded to contact newsorganizations and social mediato fan the fires of public out-rage, rather contact the chain,which happens to be headed bya devout Catholic who apolo-gized.

Who has a corner on wor-shipping God? InMalaysia this year, acourt in theMuslim-majoritycountry ruled thatonly Muslims areable to use the word“Allah” to describeGod. That decisionis worthy of a burri-to, too.

A different formof intolerance isfound from JihawgAmmo (jihawg.com). Outraged byplans for a Muslim

cultural center near the GroundZero site, the Idaho companycreated bullets coated withpork-infused paint to makethem unclean to Muslims. Ifkilled with one, a believer willbe unable to enter paradise.Certainly, this is worth a burritoinfused award!

Last month ArchbishopJustin Welby stated that fashionhas “emptied” the cross of itspower. And that is no truer thanfor shoes from Kami Shade(kamishade.com) or Svpply.com with spiked heels designedfrom crosses.

Or just put it in your mouth.Although you won’t find it ontheir site, BooginHead offers acustom Live Forever Cross paci-fier with a “cool black and whitegrunge background with across and a great message.” OrZazzle.com sells a girly pinkfloral pattern. Really?

Lutherans who admireMartin Luther for standing upto Emperor Charles V with his“Here I stand, I can do noother” speech will no doubt bethrilled to wear Old Lutheran’s(oldlutheran.com) socks sport-ing “Here I Stand” messages.Wonder if a burrito can fit oneof those?

Remember, if you want totake a stand in demonstratingyour faith, try to avoid usingproducts that make people won-der: “Inspiration? Or Indi -gestion?”
