Andy Warhol once observed that the true art of his Campbell Soup Cans lay not in the paintings themselves but in how people react to them. 

Here at the B of G we think the same holds true for movies with religious themes--like, just to pick a random example, The Da Vinci Code.  Sony has shrewdly co-opted Christians to help hype the film provided a forum for critics, while Catholics and evangelicals have taken the lead to make this a "teachable moment" for spreading the Word. 

Will people really stake the future of their eternal souls on a Tom Hanks movie?  Beats me.  I just want to look at the tchotchkes.  So while the Code is saturating mindshare, let's take the opportunity to scope out related bling--and not just bling related to this movie, but to some of the pop hits of the past that fueled the Passion of believers Lion in wait to tout their Dogma. 

The item pictured atop this entry has to be my favorite so far:  the ubercool Vitruvian LegoMan!  (Hat tip:  Pencil Roving.  And be sure to check out the other nifty items from the designer.)
