FSM candy

Has anyone else seen this?

Haribo Sour S’ghetti Gummi Candy. The package clearly depicts the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Here’s what I’m wondering: Is the company using the FSM as sort of a celebrity spokesman for their product, or is it a subtle anti-pastafarian message? What I mean is, how many products do you see with an illustration of Jesus being impaled by a fork? I get it that spaghetti is sort of associated with forks, but this illustration is of a spaghetti monster, with eyes and everything. So what is the deal, Haribo?

Close-up of the impaling:

Blogger Charles Star at Stay Free Magazine had a different interpretation:

I think what I like most about this FSM illustration is the religious symbolism. While the religious right tries, a la Kramer, to stick a fork in His Noodliness for his heretical existence, he extends a middle finger at those who would undermine science in education.

Ramen.

    I noticed that “hlp” looks distinctly like “hip”, so I have taken it as divine providence that I must gansterify you request. My meager skills are accentuated by my lack of experience in gangsterifying, but I must take this task nonetheless!

    Church of the Flying Spaghetti O’s - Heresy?
    “The FSO’s as they call themselves adhere to all the basic elements of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster with one crucial distinction. They believe that the Spaghetti Monster has come to earth to be eaten and absolve humans of their sins and restore the balance of pirates worldwide. His earthly form? Canned Spahetti O’s.”
    .
    “Only those who have partaken the sauce of the Spaghetti O will know the glories of heaven. Those who do not accept the O will wait until judgement day when the final supper will decide the fate of the earth.” states the Apostle of O, Circadian Spinolli who also serves as VP of Marketing at Campbell’s Soup.”

Purchase the Gospel

An elaborate spoof on Intelligent Design, The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is neither too elaborate nor too spoofy to succeed in nailing the fallacies of ID. It's even wackier than Jonathan Swift's suggestion that the Irish eat their children as a way to keep them from being a burden, and it may offend just as many people, but Henderson, described elsewhere as a 25-year-old "out-of-work physics major," puts satire to the same serious use that Swift did. Oh, yes, it is very funny. -- Scientific American
