What Would Jesus Drink?
Wednesday, April 04, 2007

 

Jesus could turn water into wine, but he certainly didn't drink Coca-Cola.
 
At least according to Coca-Cola Italia, a division of the soda-maker that has moved to stop an Italian filmmaker from releasing a modern-day version of the life of Christ that features Jesus polishing off a can of Coke, the Times of London reports.

In Claudio Malaponti's "Seven Kilometers From Jerusalem," Jesus drinks the soft drink during a dusty Jeep ride through the desert.

Coca-Cola Italia wants the scene to be cut before the film's Friday release. It's a demand the filmmaker thinks is ridiculous.

"The Pope did not object to the Coca-Cola scene," Malaponti said. "It is a coherent part of a film in which Jesus is portrayed as the greatest communicator of all time. This is a profoundly religious film."

But company officials are adamant that the scene portrays the soda-maker in a negative light. "We are not interested in this kind of product placement," a spokeswoman for the company told the paper.

In the scene, an ad executive offers a thirsty Jesus the can of Coke. When Christ gulps it down, the executive exclaims: "My God — what a testimonial!"

Not everything, it seems, goes better with Coke.

How ridiculous!

Everyone knows Jesus would be drinking Dr. Pepper.

What's wrong with Pepsi? 

Altho I prefer beer. 

Can't stand Dr. Pepper.

I would offer Jesus a nice glass of wine.

Wine for formal occasions.  Beer for informal.  And Our Lord would drink Guinness.

But the great question, "What would Jesus do" comes to mind -- and would He do the Dew?
