I was curious since LDS, inc co-opts everything in existence.

Like baptizing celebrities or famous figures which means nothing in real life as they don't own the name or anything about it but it is a way for them to add temple scamming cred.

Have they done the work for Sis Jemima (1898-2020) to show the world they aren't racist?

I bet it has. And probably over a dozen time. But the did the Michelin man first.

Edit to add: Also, the Pillsbury Dough Boy. Then, much later, they did Uncle Ben and in a solemn ceremony, they married Uncle Ben to Aunt Jemima.

Yeah...The earring was a deterrent. And the white shirt was neither a garment top nor a dress shirt.

Everyone knows the Gerber baby is the love child of Mr. Clean
and the Brawny Man. (Lineage diagram at a humor exhibit at SMoCA a few years back. Not making this up.)

It must have been love because Aunt Jemima was such a sweet spirit.

Mormon girls must go crazy for Uncle Bens wild rice compared to what they are offered in the typical ward,

you realize she was a real person right ? look up Nancy Green, great story ... just found this on the Wikipedia entry for her:

Nancy Green was born into slavery in 1834 in Kentucky. She was hired in 1890 by the R.T. Davis Milling Company in St. Joseph, Missouri, to represent "Aunt Jemima", an advertising character named after a song from a minstrel show.

Davis Milling had recently acquired the formula to a ready-mixed, self-rising pancake flour from and were looking to employ an African-American woman as a Mammy archetype to promote their new product.

In 1893 Green was introduced as Aunt Jemima at the World's Columbian Exposition held in Chicago, where it was her job to operate a pancake-cooking display. Her amicable personality and talent as a cook for the Walker family helped establish a successful showing of the product, for which she received a medal and certificate from the Expo officials.

After the Expo, Green was offered a lifetime contract to adopt the Aunt Jemima moniker and promote the pancake mix. This marked the beginning of a major promotional push by the company that included thousands of personal appearances and Aunt Jemima merchandising. Nancy Green maintained her job with Davis Milling (renamed Aunt Jemima Mills Company in 1914) until her death in 1923.

Green was one of the organizers of the Olivet Baptist Church. Her career allowed Green the financial freedom to become an activist and engage in antipoverty programs. She was one of the first African-American missionary workers. She used her stature as a spokesperson to become a leading advocate against poverty and in favor of equal rights for individuals in Chicago.

The famous image of Aunt Jemima was based on the real image of Nancy Green, who was known as a magnificent cook, an attractive woman of outgoing nature and friendly personality, an original painting of which sold for $9,030 at MastroNet.

that's "Juan Valdez," a fictional character played by actor Carlos Sanchez, who is still alive at 85

since Nancy Green died in 1923 i doubt that they are an item (yet!)

They can't baptize him yet because they found out many of his views were apostate. You can't have people coming back from the other side telling mormons salvation - heaven its all free!

He would be telling people they didn't need to pay tithing to get into the temple and constantly claiming God had told him stuff.

This really would challenge Rusty's authority and be a distraction from raising the money Rusty needs to buy a new Audi.
No no no - christ is persona non gratis at mormon gatherings now.
