Cross MP3 Player keeps the faith

Make no mistake, this isn't the first time a religious symbol has been integrated into a digital audio player, but unlike the iBelieve, this thing is actually, you know, real. Destined to be sold in bulk quantities to youth groups everywhere, the Cross MP3 Player is hardly designed by coincidence, and comes with 4GB of internal memory, a two-color LCD, built-in speaker, FM tuner, integrated mic, seven equalizer modes and a multi-language menu for those overseas mission trips. Fightin' the good fight will only cost you $48.14, but you can whittle that down even more by purchasing these things by the hundreds. Check out a couple more shots after the jump.

Maybe some rounded shiny edges on the buttons and the player, and it might look better. A Cross shape would work better as a remote or even a USB hub

So how many guys will get it so that they can listen to sports during services?

I bought one because it makes me feel so damn holy in church. Wonder what the priest is gonna say when he sees me listening to music on high volume on my cross MP3 player.

You sacreligious heathens sitting at the left hand of the Almighty Powerful. I just figured most of you would know better. HE uses an iPod and iPhone. A non-Apple product would be too much of a Cross to bear.

You people can dance to the mp3 Cross as you join Beelzebub in a fiery dance amongst the searing coals while he eternally pokes your hindquarters with a needle-sharp pitchfork.

Amen.
