a divine endorsment

It's Jesus, the Messiah, son of God, the immaculate conception, and he drinks Coke! Such is the scene in an italian movie where an ad executive sees Jesus drinking a Coke and exclaims "my god what a testimonial". However, you will probably not be seeing this scene because Coke has refused this gift from above and have asked, well more like demanded, that the offending scene be removed from the movie saying that they "are not interested in this kind of product placement." Why would anyone not be interested in having Jesus represent their product? Having Jesus endorse your product is like having Dick Cheney endorse your shotgun, it's as good as it gets. By my reckoning Jesus is the most popular person in the world, closely followed by Mickey Mouse and Ronald McDonald, Jesus trumps everything. "You have Micheal Jordan, Angelina Jolie, Babe Ruth, and the soul of Anna-Nicole Smith? I have Jesus", and Jesus wins.

C'EST MA VIE
