What Would Jesus Buy Coming to Village 8

What_would_jesus_buy_ver2.jpgSince our friends at Backseat Sandbar mentioned Buy Nothing Day I think they'd like to see the new film produced by Morgan Spurlock that's coming to Village 8 next weekend.

According to Wikipedia What Would Jesus Do "focuses on the issues of the commercialization of Christmas, materialism, the over-consumption in American culture, globalization, and the business practices of large corporations, as well as their economic and cultural effects on American society, as seen through the prism of activist/performance artist Bill Talen, who goes by the alias of Reverend Billy," and his troupe of activists, whose street theater performances take the form of a church choir called "The Church of Stop Shopping," that sings anti-shopping and anti-corporate songs. The film follows Billy and his choir as they take a cross-country trip in the month prior to Christmas 2005, and spread their message against what they perceive as the evils of patronizing the retail outlets of several different large corporate chains."

Well ok then.
