Further merchandising ideas that Mel might want to look into now that the passion has hit DVD. No reason why not - after all it's just a movie same as Star Wars.. Right?
The Christ action figure with realistic welts and blood. Squeeze his stomach and see the blood of the lamb flow!!!! Watch out for the special "crown of thorns" variant figure.
Roman centurion with *whipcrack* sound whipping action!
Coming soon Golgotha hill with wood-effect cross and push-button "sounds of lamenting".

tacky passion toy of the moment idea : My-size cross for kids of all ages, chain the cross to your leg and drag it up a hill nearby to relive the film! 😄
well the dvd just sold 4.1 milion copies on the first day, so it will probably end up being one of the most popular dvds of all time. Bash Mel Gibson if you want to saying he did it for money or what ever, but don't bash the crucifixtion part of it or anything anything that are the beliefs of Christians like myself, and don't make the stupid wisecracks about the toys, its disrespectful and is blasphemy.
My opinions are my own, if you dont like them - move along.
My merchandising toy ideas are no more offensive than the official ones. which is to say pretty damn offensive - thats the point... if any of the righteous could tear themselves away from the official "this is a wonderful movie" line for a second to question why Mel felt it necessary to sell replica NAILS they might see that this is no more than another sickening movie tie-in cash cow.
Except this time the opportunity is JESUS! Even for a country like America where the business of jesus is a real earner - this is sickening.
we all know what jesus thought of the rich.

There are countless numbers of paintings of Jesus in stores that many people buy, so do you call that cashing in? The memorabilia goes deeper than the movie, which goes for the movie as well, it's not just a movie, it's the story of Jesus' suffering which is the basis of Christianity. So to many people the nails and such are personal reminders of what He did for them on the cross.

Surely you can see the difference between a tasteful painting and a replica of the nails he was crucified with. That would be like "supporting the jews" by having a swastica painted on your forehead.
Um no not quite, a swastika is a simble of the persecution of the jews, hardly nails representing Christ dying for your sins.
I bought one, and i wear it, it can be taken by two ways: Either supporting Mel's vision, or seeing the nail as an encompassor of your sins, how they were put upon Jesus for your eternal life....but that's my opinion as a christian, and i'm not turning this into a religious discussion.....anyways..i see it as both of those....because I definetly support Mel's vision
