Speaking of the Big Guy

Jesus ♥ Coca-Cola, at least according to the new film, 7 km from Jerusalem where a soul-searching Italian man happens upon the Messiah and offers him a ride and a refreshing beverage (and the requisite smile, I'm sure!). When Josh cracks the can, the man replies, "What a testimonial!"
Already sounding like the kind of movie I can't wait to run out and see/read (it's in Italian) Except I just may not get to ::sob:: "The multinational's Italian unit sent a legal letter forcing the elimination of the scene in which Jesus drinks the well-known beverage," the producers said on the film's Web site. Italian media reported that the company felt that the use of its brand was unacceptable and could get the company a bad image.
Bad image? Bad image? Really, what could be worse than denying God's Only Begotten Son (or sumsuch) the most supreme, most sacred, most divinely gifted refreshment on the gahdforsaken planet? I don't wanna know, I really don't. Don't make him settle for Dr. Pepper, or worse Pepsi!



If anyone in this Universe deserves a coke and a smile, it's Jesus!!

Holy smokes you crack me up!

I know you've been through so much grief and pain, but to get through it all with such brilliant humor says so much about your character Diana.

Anyways, not sure if you're into these things but what the hell, you're tagged
