Angel Moroni Drinking Coffee T-shirts
There are people who has nothing to do really, not only the Angel Moroni with the trumpet is a registered trademark of the Church but it is also considered sacred.

| TAYLORSVILLE, Utah -- For a coffee shop, T-shirts of a Mormon angel with java flowing into his trumpet are selling well. But they don't have the blessing of religious leaders. The shirts have upset the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Not only is Moroni a revered figure -- Mormons believe he appeared to church founder Joseph Smith -- but LDS members are discouraged from drinking coffee. The shirts show the angel Moroni, a male figure in a robe blowing a trumpet. The trumpet is turned up at an angle as coffee is poured in. "They've been the best-selling T-shirts we've ever done," said Just Add Coffee co-owner Ed Beazer. The church informed Beazer that the angel's image is a registered trademark. "If they provide proof, we're going to comply," Beazer said. "We don't want to break any laws or anything." |

It just makes us realize that nothing is held sacred in the "world" today, and that sacred figures of all types will be mocked without a second thought.
Unfortunately, now this little coffeeshop will be made famous for doing so, and the "big bad church" will take on the role of oppressor.
