Woman buys used NES on eBay, bears the image of Christ on it

Meanwhile, a perfectly nice Sega Master System that had the Star of David adorned, for Rosh HaShanah, gets zero press at all. Such a shame.

kotaku Woman buys used NES on eBay, bears the image of Christ on it

Kotaku got the first dibs on this story: when Brittany Wampler from Maryland purchased two used NESs on eBay, one had the image of J.C. himself on the top of the console: “We were inspecting it for cracks/damage and when we turned it just right into the light, the image showed up… Our reaction was mainly curiosity at first. Then as we looked at it closer and ruled out what it couldn’t be, we began to get excited about it.”

She then explains that there’s no discernible difference between the surface of the image and the surrounding plastic. It’s clearly not point, nor a sticker, and is “basically infused” onto the plastic. Weird. Kotaku asked for photographic evidence, and they believe what they received was not Photoshopped. Furthermore, when Wampler asked when it all meant, she replied with: “I was raised religious, but I haven’t made up my mind really… I would say I believe in the possibility.”

And unlike most other religious kooks who becomes super seriously when the Holy Spirt magically appears on their toast, this lady at least has a sense of humor: “If it is Jesus, I think we can finally put the big question to bed…What Would Jesus Play?” And truth be told, if Christ ever appeared on my Dreamcast, I’d probably become a Bible thumper overnight, so kudos to this lady!

What'd you think of this?
