An Israel art museums exhibition featuring a crucified Ronald McDonald is receiving backlash from local Christians while the sculptures creator wants it taken down for a completely different reason.

Finnish artist Jani Leinonen s sculpture, titled, McJesus, portrays the fast-food chain McDonalds clown mascot hanging on a cross, his body positioned in a way that evokes traditional images of Jesus Christ on a cross. It was reportedly meant to serve as commentary on the entanglement of religious systems and the consumer culture, according to the Haifa Museum of Art in Israel , where it is currently on display as part of an exhibition titled Sacred Goods.
