The Passion of the Dollar 

"Time for lust, time for lie
time to kiss your life goodbye
Send me money, send me green
Heaven you will meet
Make a contribution
and you'll get a better seat

Bow to Leper Messiah"
~ 'Leper Messiah' - Metallica




Gibson's Icon Sues Regal Over 'Passion' Box Office


Mel Gibson has showed his true colors here, and those colors are green. Of course, it's all about the money these days. Hell, if I could make mucho dinero bullshitting around the way that I do on here, I'd do it in a New York Minute. But the irony here isn't the fact that Messiah Gibson's production company is suing to get ca$h that is allegedly due to it. It's the fact that Gibson and Co.'s well-publicized "crusade" to pimp his Passion for most of last year prior to the movie's release, with their crusade's holier-than-thou decree that the film was meant to "educate" the huddled masses of the world in regards to Christ's last hours upon the Earth, complete with 'Passion kits' to be distributed at participating movie theaters (the same kits that you can find at Wal-Mart, of all fucking places! And no, they're not free) and encouraged viewings by local Christian communities to "discuss" the message that the film portrays, in the end amounted to nothing more than a vast corporate sales pitch on the part of Mel Gibson and Icon Productions to get your money.

Not to mention the fact that, apparently, the film really amounted to nothing more than a overly-drawn out torture scene of Jesus and some slanderous Jew-bashing. I say "apparently" because I'm waiting for the movie to hit the video rental stores, because I decided a while back that I refuse to fork over my hard-earned ca$h to such a hypocritical display of fiction (the actual story of Christ's passing in the Bible amounts to roughly two chapters); "hypocritical" in regards to the Great Holy Hype Machine that surrounded the movie; or at least fork over as little ca$h as possible, which is why movie rentals are so cool because they're cheap.

I tend to throw Michael Moore's lies into the same category as Mel Gibson's Passion of the Bullshit. Yeah, I'll eventually get around to watching Fat Mike's Bowling For Bullshit movie as well, but I sure as hell ain't paying for it. I'd download both movies off the Internet, but I wouldn't waste the time, bandwidth, or hard drive space on it. It isn't worth it.

Don't get me wrong now. Zelmo is by no means a religious entity, and neither am I. It's just the principle of the thing. And yes, as much horrendous bullshit that Zelmo tends to spew at times, we do have principles. And one of them is avoiding the financial support of hypocritical bullshit as much as possible.

Unless, of course, the medium is that damned good. I hear that Christ takes one hell of a good ol' fashioned Texas lynching in Mel's movie! Nothing wrong with whipping a Hebe for breaking the law, I say. *evil laughter*


Luke chapter 6:45

A good person brings good out of the treasure of good things in his heart; a bad person brings bad out of his treasure of bad things. For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.


(Zelmo's Note: Jesus hasn't met me yet. I speak bad things with good intentions. So go and fuck yourself, goatpoker! Amen.)
