Censorship stinks: Jesus not allowed to drink Coke

Story here

Quote:
ROME (Reuters) - An Italian film showing Jesus Christ drinking Coca-Cola sparked such strong protest from the soft-drinks giant that it blocked the film's Easter weekend premiere, the film makers said.

Apparently, in Coke's mind, being associated with Jesus is bad. (Being associated with some of his followers, however, I could understand...)

Quote:
According to local press reports, he offers the returned Christ a can of Coca-Cola and, seeing Jesus drinking the beverage, thinks: "What a testimonial!"

[text omitted]
Italian media reported that the company felt that the use of its brand was unacceptable and could get the company a bad image.

So coke: what should he have offered Jesus instead? Pepsi? Dr. Pepper? A beer?

Sprite! :O Oh no wait, that comes from the Coca Cola company too. Feh, nevermind. He should've offered him plain ol' water.

This is very weird.

Hairballed Kat; Tuesday, April 10, 2007 - 20:31

I guess they were afraid of the wrath of the fundamentalist Muslims... Or just any major religion boycotting Coke, I guess.

^-^ sounds like a funny movie.

shadowmistress; Tuesday, July 17, 2007 - 13:07

Wow. That's great.
it would be better if they gave Jesus a beer though. Ever reaqd the Bible? Jesus is constantly drinking wine and going to parties with friends. Modern day...he would be drinking beer......well, it makes sense to me =P *giggles*

What, if Jesus just allowed

WaterFaerie; Tuesday, July 17, 2007 - 13:13

What, if Jesus just allowed to drink holy-water? The guy's God's son! I think he can drink whatever he wants!

Dungionman 3; Friday, July 20, 2007 - 17:00

Uh, that's a stupid question!
Jesus doesn't have to give in to temptation! That's a regular human thing! He can make himself uh, un-thirsty.

shadowmistress; Saturday, July 21, 2007 - 22:07

I never said he had to, I said he might. He almost gave into temptation at some point in the bible...I think...maybe?
who knows? I'm not Christian

Well, if that were true, then wouldn't it be o.k. for a religious figure to drink it?

Perhaps it's secretly evil instead...

I never said it wasn't okay.

shadowmistress; Wednesday, July 25, 2007 - 01:07

I never said it wasn't okay. I think it's completely insane to say that it's not. The Cocacola company needs to do their research and figure out that a very large percentage of America is christian and that by saying Jesus isn't "allowed" to drink Coke is....for lack of a better word...stupid.

I actualy perfer diet coke

Dungionman 3; Thursday, September 6, 2007 - 15:08

I actualy perfer diet coke to regular. And, no it's not a weight issue! It tastes better. Coke Zero types are in between. Weird.

But realy it's kinda a stupid question, or else a trick question.
Who knows?
