It’s what Jesus would have wanted

With Easter Sunday approaching, every supermarket in the land is packed to the rafters with thousands of generic excuses to end your forty days of abstinence with an orgy of chocolate and queasiness. But if you fancy something a little different to celebrate the life and times of that crazy Jesus guy, why not head to master chocolatiers Thorntons, who have this year marked the most sacred of Christian festivals by producing creepy Posh and Becks easter eggs in the name of charidee. Also available in the range created to ‘represent a spectrum of British culture’ are Lily Allen, Gordon Brown and Prince Harry. To recap on Thorntons’ all-encompassing idea of Britishness, that’s a drunken Royal with a weakness for dressing like Hitler, a mind-numbing Scot and someone who got famous because their daddy is.

The wonderful decorations pictured above would make the perfect gifts for a particularly detested loved one, except (a) they do not appear to be made from chocolate (b) Posh looks like she has a Benitez goatee and (c) Beckham looks like he’s been on the Andy Fordham diet. Not to mention the unfortunate resemblance to the Moors Murderers.
