UTC is not what you’d call religious. Although he religiously buys up dozens of reduced-price chocolate eggs for his personal consumption on what he calls “Easter Tuesday”.
He’s also partial to that other Easter staple, the hot cross bun. So, he was tickled to discover that Australian supermarket Coles had been selling hot cross buns over Easter that were missing one vital ingredient – the cross.
A Sydney-based shopper posted an image on Reddit of what are best described as ‘hot line buns’, under the headline ‘You had one job, Coles’.
Despite Bruce and Sheila Public crucifying Coles on social media, the Auld Boy – inexplicably getting right into the spirit of Easter – struck a more forgiving note that Jesus himself would be proud of and suggested that the offending cakes were probably “someone’s idea of a non-religious iconography baked good”.
UTC then, of course, took it too far. “However, given their belief that Jesus was executed on a single vertical stake,” he chuckled, “the buns are clearly targeted at Jehovah’s Witnesses.”
