Naked Chocolate Jesus Exhibit Canceled

A New York gallery has canceled its naked chocolate Jesus exhibit after receiving protests.

A Manhattan art gallery canceled on Friday its Easter-season exhibit of a life-size chocolate sculpture depicting a naked Jesus, after an outcry by Roman Catholics. The sculpture “My Sweet Lord” by Cosimo Cavallaro was to have been exhibited for two hours each day next week in a street-level window of the Roger Smith Lab Gallery in Midtown Manhattan.

Who could have anticipated controversy over this?
