Jesus Mug, He
3 Star Review By Lewton Wicks
I bought this Jesus Mug, He’s No. 1 without many expectations, and although I was expecting a neat surprise here and there, no such surprises came.
Firstly, the wireless signal is spotty at best. I found only if I held the mug aloft in my kitchen would I manage a single bar of reception. Once it had signal though, the GPS kicked in, and it quickly tweeted it’s own status. Once it did mistake Horlicks for Bovril, but it’s been pretty good apart from that small incident.
For a while, the mug acted very well as a pen holder for the kitchen, as we had bought many other ‘He’s No. 1′ mugs, including Elvis Presley, Nat King Cole, Buddy Holly, and Sarah Palin, which were already in full use. The cup can hold around twenty five average size biros, but if you are planning on using fountain pens, it may limit itself to only ten such pens, due to the relatively thin neck on the mug. The mug comes without any sort of stand (the assumption being that you have your own stand for said mug) so if you are wanting to use the mug as a pen storage device, make sure you have somewhere to display it within easy reach.
The audio feedback feels a bit muffled, although the upload of mp3 files to the mug was speedy, and actually pretty easy to do. Although missing from the item description, the mug comes pre-loaded with a copy of ‘In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida’, which is a nice touch.
Unfortunately this product is marked down for durability. I had attached the mug to a length of rope, and swung the mug around my head, trying to ward of Tusken Raiders, and unfortunately they attacked the mug with a gaderffii stick, and the mug shattered. To its credit, after three days the mug seemingly fixed itself, but that was three days without the mug, and as a result, pens were just lying on the top of my kitchen counter, unguarded.
Buyers beware.
5 Star Review By Timothy Poteet “Timboliah Pants on Fiyah”
I bought this mug for use at work as I get rather tired of making several trips to the drinking fountain throughout the day. Surprisingly, by the time I made it back to my desk from the water spigot, this mug had turned my water into wine! Being a little skeptical, naturally I made several more trips over the course of the day to confirm the miracle… feeling more relaxed about the matter with each trip.
Blimey that was an impressive vintage!Well, by mid afternoon I was full on sloshed… pissed… rat-arsed. Feeling a bit cheeky as I walked past my boss I gave her a nice swat on the bum. I’m very fortunate that I didn’t get sacked on the spot… and I reckon I have my Jesus Mug to thank for that small miracle. I am now in a company mandated substance abuse program though. My boss, not a handsome woman when viewed without the beer goggles has… err… forgiven me. She’s always coming round my desk now and hinting that she doesn’t have plans for the evening.
All in all though, it’s a lovely mug… and Jesus is number 1 for sure! Perhaps a better mug for use at home and a nice cup of tea.
2 Star Review By Aleksei Sdrahcir “Russia media reviewer of ye…
When I originally received this mug for Christmas, I thought this was just a normal coffee mug, with what can only be described as ‘The face of Christ’ appearing on the mug. I thought to myself ‘Wow, I’ve read about people who have seen Jesus’ face in a piece of toast, or on a bloody tampon, but never on a mug’. I went to my local church where the blind Farther Ezekiel felt the mug and confirmed that the face of Jesus unto my chalice. I went to BBC centre to find the news room, after getting forcefully removed by an over zealous bodyguard I showed him my mug, then my adventure was to be stopped in it’s tracks; “That’s a Jesus mug” the bodyguard said, I said “I know” he said “No, it’s a Jesus mug…those mugs are manufactured with the Lord’s face upon them”. Shocked, I locked myself in my room for 4 days. Apart from that minor hiccup, this mug is of poor quality, the packaging is poor and I burned my hand on it after I filled it with tea. Not impressed.
