Blue cross sale?
SAY WHAT?
He was sad and cross at how much the cookies cost.
Stop it! You’re crucifying me.
I just had to nail it down there, sorry.
You be careful. You don’t want to be one of those girls with that kind of stigmata.
Bit of a thorny issue that one.
Let us Pilate around it then.
Hmm yes we shroud really. What shall we talk about? Are Judas at work today?
I dunno if I could keep up the conversation; I’m rather Petered out right now.
Lukes like we all are. Shall we palm it off to someone else to continue?
Matzoh fast! You think you can just Passover your conversation?
*licks lips at the idea of jam and custard*
(i’m not sure those ideas would be kosher!)
IN RIality- I am not yellow.
This conversation was about to finally die, and you’re trying to resurrect it?
Easter one that started it!
I’ll kill it for you… but it’s going to cost you thirty silver coins.
That’s just stuck up.
“That’s just stuck up.”
Someone didn’t understand the pun.
Did Jesus nom cookies at the last supper?
He bought them at Safeway cos the bread had passed it’s sell by date.
Makes sense, but chocolate chips and wine…..not sure.
Sounds perfectly reasonable to me. He may have been a martyr but he lived in style.
Well, he could have invited a few more people then at least, you know made a bit of a party, had a DJ.
Yeah, he could have done a few magic tricks, healed a few lepers; would have been a grand night.
Then in the morning, he could have zapped everyones hangovers.
Second wow LEGENDARY
u’re third actually
I’m agnostic, but damn it, that’s funny enough to get me believin’
well your name doesn’t sound like it.
Photoshopped
Definitely in the pixels.
I really hope it is Photoshopped. If it’s real, it’s in very bad taste.
You don’t like chocolate chip cookies?
Ok, I can officially tell you that this is fake…
I work in the pricing department at a Dominick’s store (a division of Safeway). You’ll notice that there is a UPC and barcode at the top of the tag. This indicates that the tag is for a specific item, most likely the cookies displayed below. Price tags are also not customizable. *SIGNS* can be custom-made to have words on them; tags cannot.
Ever think that maybe, just maybe, they printed a piece of paper out and taped it onto the price tag?
SO HARD
I can second that it’s fake. I work at hq in Pleasanton and I can tell just by looking at it that there’s no way it’s real. Funny, but fake.
What we all want to know is…
Did he die?
*flees*
^ ditto.
Look at you two, dominating the top two threads. It’s a disgrace, can’t you go back to your cagefighting?
I’d never do a thing like that.
*marshmallowsqueeze*
Looks at feet.
Sowwy.
*tickletickletickle*
*giggles uncontrollably*
Ahem
It was the one-armed marshmallow, not I.
Moomin bandits?
Ahem or Amen
Wrong season.
*shrugs*
Laziness needs a season?
You need to be on Route 22 to catch Ditto.
*poke*
*pokes Jam*
*runsawaywithaquickness*
What’s with all the poking :[
Were we meant to pay?
Where do you guys get your quicknesses?
From the flee market.
from the going out of business like in a hurry cause the cops are coming sale.
lol… thats freaking wierd
Who writes this kind of thing on a grocery store price tag?
While I’ll go for the idea that Christ died for our sins, it seems rather odd to see a brand name grocery store acknowledge anything of the sort. I’d say from public displays, Easter is about rabbits and colored eggs and candy! You rarely see Easter and Christmas displays actually mentioning Christ – just Santas and Easter Bunnies. /rant
*holds up hand*
Pagan, sorry.
I just study most religions for fun.
Oh I wasn’t offended by it, just surprised at a public acknowledgement of Christ at all.
I study religions for fun, too!
*tickles k@ and offers leftover Halloween candy*
Happy new year,
*noms Samhain offerings*
*gets sugar rush*
*runs around in circles*
They’re taking Christ back! With all the hatred being wielded by so-called Christians today, it’s nice to see something positive – even if it’s just slightly discounted prices on groceries – come out of a 2000 year-old public execution of a heretical middle-eastern religious fanatic.
Jesus died for my sins………. so I am getting his money’s worth.
Would this imply that Safeway’s prices are a SIN?
(‘Cause without that extra value card and sometimes WITH, I think they are!)
That’s how I read it, too!
At least they’re confessing it so informed decisions can be made about shopping elsewhere.
Indeed it would. So when you think about it, this isn’t near as blasphemous as it first appears. Safeway is admitting they are sinners like everyone else.
Fail? more like win
Oh here we go.
*sigh
Fully agree with this. This is Definitely a WIN!
Too funny. Total win.
That is so offensive to Christians. I can’t believe Safeway did that.
Nescio quid dicas
I think you do.
Senito aliquos togatos contra me conspirare
I would never do such a thing :/
Pretium iustum est.
tl;du (Too latin; didn’t understand.)
^the price is right.
Come on down?
To the Paradise city?
Where you’re Bounty have a good time.
*snickers*
Jesus choose a pretty unworthy reason to die for.
*nods*
All humanity, including trolls!
Considering Safeways folded, it was a waste of time as well.
Juden Iscariotes prices…
If it annoys evangelical types…WIN!
If it were on the cheesus counter…EPIC WIN!
62nd!
Mickey Mecond!
Why is this a fail? It should be a win!
Heresy WIN!
Jesus was a Liberal Jew, he always knew how to find the lowest price.
pretty sure this is a win!
Win if Christ came back for our prices?
As a Catholic I find the picture distateful. We were taught the reason Christ died was to lower prices at Best Buy. Thank you Lord for the reasonably priced 37 inch LG HD. Amen.
I blame the Protestants.
Fail indeed. Some character in some fantasy book didn’t do anything for anyone.
Definitely photoshopped and very distasteful – 2 Corinthians 4:4
That wasn’t very nice of the god of this age. Maybe he should stop blinding us unbelievers so we can be nice, shiny, happy believers like you! Wouldn’t that be nice of god? If he keeps it up, I’m gonna have to say that the god of this age is a huge douche.
The “god of this age” is a huge douche – his name is Satan and he has indeed blinded the minds of the unbelieving – 1 Corinthians 2:14.
i don’t quite understand the scoring system, did corinthians win? who were they playing?
No, the corinthians didn’t win, you just did!
hi-five, i bet the corinthians 2-14.
Hahahaha well Satan is a much more fun fictional character than Jesus. I would even take Aquaman over Jesus…well, maybe not Aquaman. Enjoy your child molesting, closed minded cult you call your religion.
Wow, that was a crude and largely immature reply! All I have to say is..
NUH UH! *YOU’RE* a fictional character. And you cant prove otherwise.
There’s a bible passage on photoshop?
Now that…is HILARIOUS!
Thats not right.
It is, the arrow is pointing to my right.
I can only imagine how people who get apoplectic over “XMAS” will react to this…
I actually think this is pretty win.
No wonder he drove the moneychangers from the temple, I mean if he was dying for a low price and they just kept raising it up, I’d be pissed too
Uh, more like “Epic Win”.
did he died?
HOLY SHIT! I made this!!!!
I put them up in Seattle Area Safeways about 2 or 3 Easters ago. It’s totally a fake. They took them down in a couple days. I didn’t think anyone saw them. I’m so happy!
I scanned a frozen corn label, and edited the info.
That’s really great. One of the best pranks I’ve seen, and so cool that you got to see it here on failblog.
You Win!!
Awesome prank, Dude!
I took this picture in Kirkland. That is an awesome prank – I was shocked that Safeway did that (but they didn’t!)
Thanks for posting it. It made my week. Apparently it was on the front page of reddit for a while
Excuse me, the UPC for that should start with 21130. Praise Jesus.
“dunno source”
how about photoshop?
Derpty Fookin Derp derp.
Aww, way to ruin all the fun.
At least we know it wasn’t photoshopped.
I seriously doubt that….
cheaper buying 12.
ROFLMAO. I love it!
I think they mean that he died BECAUSE of the prices….you know inflation and all
This is a major win.
WIN
Besides the holiday not being 100% accurate I’d say because of the joke on religion this is a WIN.
Wow. That’s something I would never believe happened if there wasn’t a picture to prove it.
How is this a fail? It’s like saying santa gives away free gifts to help your mom or dad (or mom and mom or dad and dad) pay the bills.
This is so fake. Give me a break. ALL tags on safeway have a date on when the sale starts and ends. Where is the date on the bottom? A picture proves nothing. Someone either taped it on (you can tell there’s a layer on top of another) or photo shopped it.
Give me a break, you can’t ACTUALLY believe a store would do this.
Jesus wants to know how he can get YOU…… in a BRAND NEW CAR!!!
I took this picture a couple of years ago at the Kirkland, WA Safeway. I promise, there’s nothing fake about this picture.
that sinful, eh? is there surprise butt sex at the check-out counter? shellfish mixed into the cookies?
I’m not religious and even I find this offensive!
Why? It doesn’t make any sense that this would offend you if you’re not religious (Christian, in particular). Would it offend you if it said “Santa Claus is coming to Safeway!” ?
Such a deal!
what’s going on with Failblog? This is obviously a WIN
Agree. It’s a WIN.
Fail?
no sir, i think that is under the WIN catagory
Prices r that sinful eh? Wouldn’t be surprised.
And after 3 days the prices rise again!
respawn lol!
’shopped!
please…..don’t let this be real.
ai decidate dis pikshur as a win!
For anyone who’s interested:

WIN!!!
To all the bible thumpers out there:
If god spoke to you clearly and unquestionably that you were to kill your child, and your child alone, to secure a place for you both in heaven, would you do it?
And to avoid cop-out answers (ie. god would not do that), I will remind you of the story of Abraham (Gen 22:1-14)
But he stopped Abraham before he could kill his son.
I wouldn’t want to stand too close to this sign for fear of being struck by lightning. Or worse.
I’m a Christian and I think this is hilarious. An acknowledgment that Easter is supposed to be about Christ even though it is used by stores to sell peeps/stuffed frogs(??) is awesome (Don’t get me wrong, I love Peeps, but I love Jesus more). Kudos to weekwaster. I LOL’d.
Peace
safeway is one giant pile of epic fail. if you dont believe me, try working there
Jesus’ peeps were a bunch of candy asses who slept while he prayed. Probably made him very cross!
