This sounds like a case of the Kaaba calling the Kettle black.

The woman in Malaysia worshipping a giant teapot makes more sense than Imadamnnutjob in Iran worshipping a hole in the ground waiting for an imam to pop out.

Does the tea pot have red koolaid in it?

[Dumpster Baby]

This is my Temple. Am I in trouble?

[Flintlock]

How many heads has the teapot chopped off?

[Sender]

"Don't knock it, sweetie. Now, who's next?"

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

Deification of a Teapot Ping!

[RGSpincich]

Back in the day, I (barely) remember worshiping a square bottle with black label. Think it came from Tennessee.

[Charles Henrickson]

Praise the giant Teapot,
Have no doubt;
Here is my candle,
I am devout.
When I hear my sentence,
Then I shout:
"The Pot will whistle
When I get out!"

two years for worshipping giant teapot

Tea for two, and two for tea. . . .

[Charles Henrickson]

One Lumpur two?

[mikrofon]

So she got charged with a-pots-of-tea?

[LexBaird]

I sense a tempest here.

[LexBaird]

We’re oolong way from brewing up bad puns here, I see.

[Charles Henrickson]

This whole thing is just a trespass in a teapot.

[Charles Henrickson]

Is that the Teapot Home Sandal?

Now that was good...

Is that the Teapot Home Sandal?

I LOVE a good cup of hot tea, but I haven’t taken it that far just yet.

I must say the teapot worshipping is a big step up from Islam. I hope this catches on in the middle east.

Can’t say I worship it, but I pay my respects to the teapot every afternoon around 3. Sometimes I even adorn it’s tray with shortbread, small sandwiches and flowers.
