turning the other buck
According to the IMDb (Internet Movie Database), Mel Gibson's Jesus movie has incited a "new craze across America for Christian-themed jewelry." Uh huh. But it gets better. People -- Christians, we assume -- aren't just loading up on your garden variety crosses and whatnot, but are purchasing jewelry officially licensed by Mel's production company. IMDb reports that the pewter nail inscribed with Isaiah 53:5 is selling particularly well.
We at two-twenty would like to point out that you can not spell "jewelry" without "jew", that "Mel" rhymes with "hell", and that regardless of our Judeo-Christian backgrounds, we are Athiests with solid morals who think this is all very, very bad.
