This week Titanic director James Cameron and Canadian television director, Simcha Jacobovici stood proudly at the New York City library to announce the release of a new book and documentary called The Tomb of Jesus. They claim to have uncovered the remains of Jesus and his family, including Mary Magdalene, (Jesus supposed wife) and their child, Judah.
If he were honest, this is what Mr. Cameron would have said to the press:
My dearest friends in the media,
Thank you for being here. I must admit, I am pleasantly surprised so many of you have come. Our public relations company had quite the challenge to convince you our commercial projects were headline-worthy. After all, what we are peddling is pseudo-science based on old and discredited news. But we obviously hired the right company. They came through on their promise that you wouldnt remember, or wouldnt care, that when this tomb was discovered twenty seven years ago, the Jewish archeologist in charge of the investigation, Amos Kloner, determined it was not the tomb of Jesus and his family and that, in fact, it is unlikely Jesus and his relatives even had a family tomb. To think that not a single respected archeologist from the Holy Land region is willing to go on record that our claims are true, and still you are here with us today, is mind-boggling. How can we thank you enough?

Oh great, and director for the the "Lets pretend people" is telling the world to beleive that what he says is true.
Oh well, the is one born every minute.
We were in Russia early in 2002.
The Russian people commonly refer to Lenin's embalmed body, kept in a mausoleum in Red Square, as "The Mummy." Real reverent, eh?
March 8 is International Women's Day, one of the biggest holidays on the Communist Internationale Calendar. On March 8, the Soviet government would bus thousands of workers and students to Red Square to line up and pay "homage" to "The Mummy".
We were in Red Square on March 8, "International Women's Day", 2002.
It was empty.
Nobody was visiting the Mummy.
But the shopping malls were FULL.
.
It was an exquisite exhibition of the triumph of Capitalism over Communism.
Yes, I LOVED it!
