I wonder if he used white chocolate or dark chocolate

Cosimo Cavallaro is an artist who has sculpted a 6-foot tall anatomically correct statue of Jesus (sans loincloth) in chocolate that is due to go on display in New York on Monday.

Needless to say the Catholics are less than pleased, although I'm not quite sure if it is the nudity or the confectionary that bothers them. I assume the Protestant community will remain quiet on this one as they have that slightly different version (more gravening, less remembering) of the 10 Commandments and one graven image is much the same as another.
