A Sterling Review of Gibson's "Passion of the Christ"
Edited on Mon Feb-09-04 04:31 PM by new_beawr
From Betty Bowers, America's Best Christian. Exceptionally funny - remember - it's satire...

A quote:

As a Baptist, I don't often find myself promoting R-rated films, but I'm proud that I live in a country where witnessing two hours of bloody, barbarous torture in gloating detail is considered indicia of religious piety, whereas a mere second gazing upon a woman's breast is cause for outraged apoplexy.

1. I love Betty Bowers

It's kind of unnerving that satire outlets (the Onion, Betty Bowers, the Daily Show) are now closer to actual unbiased reporting than some "news" channels...

2. Here here!
I think Betty is just the best. As an ex-Catholic and someone who has had extensive exposure to those wacky fundies, I can fully appreciate her delish irony. :)
