What Would Jesus Buy?
http://www.apple.com/trailers/independent/whatwouldjesusbuy/...
From producer Morgan Spurlock (Super Size Me) and director Rob VanAlkemade, “What Would Jesus Buy?” examines the commercialization of Christmas in
America while following Reverend Billy and the Church of Stop Shopping Gospel Choir on a cross-country mission to save Christmas from the Shopocalypse
(the end of humankind from consumerism, over-consumption and the fires of eternal debt.)
The film also delves into issues such as the role sweatshops play in America’s mass consumerism and Big-Box Culture. From the humble beginnings of
preaching at his portable pulpit on New York City subways, to having a congregation of thousands - Bill Talen (aka Rev. Billy) has become the leader
of not just a church, but a national movement.
Rev. Billy’s epic journey takes us to chilling exorcisms at Wal-Mart headquarters, to retail interventions at the Mall of America, and all the way to
the Promised Land on Christmas Day. The Stop Shopping mission reminds us that even though we may be “hypnotized and consumerized,” we still have a
chance to save ourselves this Christmas.

I will be checking this film out.
Each aspect of the soul has it's own part to play, but the ideal is harmonious agreement with reason and control.

Mrs. Reed83 and I talk about this every year. She loves the holidays and I don't. I could never really explain why until recently. To me it is just
the same shit every year and we go through the motions. I hate the songs and it seems like everyone is "trying" to be nice to each other "because it
is the holidays". Why the fuck can't we all be nice to each other the rest of the year. On top of that, the holidays are all about "spending" and
"Deals" and "Sales". Ugh, it is just such bullshit to me.
The only saving grace in all of this is that my daughter (she's 3) beleives. She gets excited. Other then that, I could care less.
Oh shit, I almost forgot. I wille enjoy the Thorp cd swap this year.
