Forever 21 offers cheap clothing and spiritual guidance.

Forever 21 gave me a bag of Jesus

After months of not spending a nickel on my wardrobe, I broke down and bought a few things for fall at Bayshore Town Center. My first stop was Forever 21, where I bought a pair of jeans, some cute undergarments and a few pair of big, crazy earrings.

When I got home, I started to unpack my goods, and noticed a Bible quote printed on the bottom of the Forever 21 bag. I found this peculiar, so I Googled it.

I discovered that the company, which started in California in 1984, is owned by a Korean-American couple which chose the verse -- John 3:16 -- to reflect its Christian faith.

I find it humorous and ironic that my thong underpants rubbed up against a bag embossed with a Bible quote. That's all I'm sayin'.

I'm okay with the verse but the visual of you and the thong while eating my Pop Tart almost made me hurl.

I hear Jesus is a huge fan of the thong cut undies. God on the other hand is a fan of the grannies.

Personally I would rather have holy snuggie huggies than just holes. Yeah, I know I am going to h*ll for that one, unfortunately, I already punched my one way ticket years ago.
