"'Christian street' erupts at Verhoeven Jesus book"
Can you imagine this kind of reaction to Paul Verhoeven's rewrite of the Gospels?
A fifth day of rioting and bombings rocked North America and Europe as the Christian community reacted to news of a controversial biography of Jesus Christ. While public officials have appealed for calm, Christian rage seemed only to escalate yesterday as Pope Benedict issued a papal bull calling for the beheading of the book's author, Paul Verhoeven. Samaritan's Purse, a Christian "charity", has announced a $3.2 million reward for anyone fulfilling the papal bull....Christian marketing groups responded to the controversy with a line of Precious Moments figurines featuring Verhoeven alternately immolated, beheaded or stoned to death. Artist Thomas Kinkade has completed a print of Verhoeven being beaten to death at sunset in a New England fishing village. Big Idea Productions has also announced the latest in its popular Veggie Tales line of children's films -- Larry and the Big Bang.

Hey pal,
Thanks for the linkage! I owe you one. Or, two, I think. . . :)
That was cute sarcasm. I particularly liked the photoshopped "Salvation Army Martyrs Brigade"
I wonder if any of the Muslim groups will be so stupid as to think it was real?
