There are not many movies I had to turn off because I couldn’t stand them any longer. The Passion of the Christ made it on that list. Mel Gibson sees or wanted to show “beauty in brutality”, but this movie is simply insane. Even worse is the message, everybody who claims it’s not an anti-Semitic film probably hasn’t seen it. If Mr Gibson would have read (or understood) the story his movie is supposed to be based on properly then he should know that the sins of every human being makes the guy called Jesus Christ in his movie suffer and die. Jews and Romans are only supporting actors.
Interestingly that Austria’s public broadcaster put it on Good Friday night on the TV program, once a very special date in persecution of Jews.
However, I’m off to spend a few days on the countryside. Happy Easter Holidays to everyone!
Besides all SEO hints or tricks to make it onto digg’s front page, choosing the right content is the most crucial point on attracting blog visitors and readers. As we all know, content is still king.
TechCrunch’s post about eroshare demonstrated very well the potential behind the combination of web 2.0, porn and religion: more than 150 comments engaged in a heated and interesting discussion.
Granted, I didn’t know that each illustration of Mohammed means blasphemy and hurts religious feelings; but still I’m thinking that some people over-react on that cartoons and others take advantage off the current religious uproar. “Dialogue – at all levels – is the only way to get out of this very dangerous situation!” [M.W.]
Criticising religious symbols is apparently not tolerated by some people. On that side of the globe it would be like protesting against Monty Python because of their “Life of Brian”. What an absurd idea!
