What Would Jesus Buy

rev-billy.jpgI  finished watching an interesting documentary over the weekend: Morgan Spurlock’s What Would Jesus Buy? It’s pretty funny and campy in spots, but it really will make you weigh out the time that you spend shopping. The opening few minutes paint out the true reality that many Americans are addicted to shopping. They fight and claw for deals, love the rush of the sale, and are willing to treat other inhumanely for a bargain.The major character is Reverend Billy and the Church of Stop Shopping Gospel Choir who are on a campaign to stop the Shopocalypse. They make some pretty fun stops along the way. By the way, make sure to watch the bonus feature – “The 10 Commandments are Made in China.” It’s worth renting the DVD just to see this piece. I’ll NEVER look at Christmas lights quite the same way.
