The Rev Billy movie is hilarious: What Would Jesus Buy?

What Would Jesus Buy? The Gospel of Stop Shopping doc
I saw it this weekend, and loved it. A perfect start to the holiday season.

and the David LaChapelle movie poster

What Would Jesus Buy? follows Reverend Billy and the Church of Stop Shopping Gospel Choir as they go on a cross-country mission to save Christmas from the Shopocalypse: the end of mankind from consumerism, over-consumption and the fires of eternal debt!

From producer Morgan Spurlock (SUPER SIZE ME) and director Rob VanAlkemade comes a serious docu-comedy about the commercialization of Christmas.

I love Reverend Billy! Hallelujah!

Though I'm amazed he got *any* marketing muscle behind his documentary at all.

Of course, it may be part of the Supersize Me phenomenon that if you craft a documentary that's entertaining enough, they'll release it anyway for the dough that it will make them.
