everybody did.

No, I get it. I'm as big a Maynard fan as there is. I'm no fan of the catholic church either.

Just seemed like an odd time to take a jab...

If people weren't still talking about it, I'd have forgotten about the Pope dying a few days ago.

I worked for Mj....

Whoa, deja vu.

I am willing to bet this is a joke. I think they are poking fun at Korn, Brian "Head" Welch left the band to find Jesus a month ago.

Just as I thought:

Good news, April fools fans. The writing and recording is back under way. When approached for comment on his recent encounter with the Son of God, Maynard said, "That guy's a punk!"
As it turns out, Maynard was out "location scouting" near the Fourth Street bridge in downtown Los Angeles when he "found Jesus."
"Turns out he was here the whole time, and not that difficult to find if you know where to look," Maynard reported. Apparently Jesus offered him the position of campaign manager for his new line of "Holier Than Thou" sparkling holy water, which Maynard of course accepted. What wasn't obvious was that this guy is a total drunk. It's an occupational hazard. Every time our Lord goes to get a glass of water, it transforms into a generic grocery store Merlot. Because the alcoholic is the Son of God and an all-knowing being, he knew of Maynard’s extensive interest in collecting wine. So he went to work trying to get his lips on it. Maynard caught J.C. in his cellar transforming his precious wine collection into urine, then pissing it into the empty "sparkling holy water" bottles for the eventual sale to all those people who bought, read, and embraced "The Celestine Prophesy." Tragic.
"Truth be told," Maynard confessed, "I wasn't feeling top notch when I found him. The evening prior to the day in question I had over-indulged in a series of bad Molotov shrimp cocktails with a side of Makers Mark and twin strippers. So after an entire night of G.I. Blowouts, hot/cold sweats, and blurred vision, it's very possible that the guy I met wasn't even Jesus at all. For all I know, it was Willem Dafoe."

I don't think it should qualify as an April Fool's Day joke if, during the course of the joke, you make reference to the fact that it's April 1st.

The best April Fools jokes are the one you are not expecting. Some that go on for days fall into that catagory. This being one of them......and Maynard is a sck fucker, so he'd have it go one until he was about to become ordaned as a minister before saying April Fool's.
