Marketing: A Passion of Jesus?
Merchants in the temple, making money. This time they’ve moved Jesus into the merchant booths, marketing him. I ventured into Best Buy today during my lunch. What blasphemy burned my eye sockets? Jesus for sale. Everywhere. Not just Mel Gibson’s The Passion of The Christ, but everything in the past that related to Jesus or religion. The Greatest Story Ever Told – on sale. Ten Commandments – on sale. Jesus Christ Superstar – on sale. Touched by an Angel – on sale.
The worst part of it? You can buy The Passion of the Christ, packaged with two cans of Coca Cola’s C2, a free issue of Sports Illustrated or Entertainment Weekly, free CD-Rs, and some money saving coupons!
Lord have mercy.

That dollar bill is hilarious.
Jesus surely would have let this fine U.S. mint grace his father's temple!
The website it came from is pretty hilarious too - jesusoftheweek.com. Some people!
