Been done.
Why would anyone want to know how someone dies by crucifiction?
90 minutes of crucifixion! Oh! Boy! Make some popcorn and gather round the box kids!
How about a burning at the stake or breaking on the wheel video as a followup?
If I'm not mistaken, many years ago, Jim Bishop wrote a chilling essay about the mechanics of a crucifixion and the resulting horrible death. Since then, others have been as explicit.
Not sure why someone else needs to add to the bizarre nature of this form of execution.
IMHO what's obscene about this is nothing to do with Jesus, but everything to do with the respect we owe to a corpse that once was the locus of a human person. This is about devaluing humanity and what you might call, by analogy with the US, "human exceptionalism". I'm sorry any station would agree to carry this, expecially since the use of a corpse adds nothing but obscenity to the show.
If the body is already dead, then the depiction is false from the beginning. A living breathing person would writhe in agony and gasp for breath as his lungs were slowly collapsing and muscles stretching beyond the imagination, not to mention the horrible pain from the spikes (not nails) that are used to pierce the wrists (not palms) and ankles (not feet)............
"Out of the door. Line on the left. One cross each."
maybe he could demonstrate by actually crucifying madonna
I remember a very serious, interesting, and well presented small documentary that used to be shown every Easter season on local Chicago TV, sponsored by either De Paul University or Holy Name Cathedral- I don't remember, where a learned priest described crucification in very clinical scientific terms, and then of Christ's crucification specifically, as explanation of the the argument for authenticity of the "Shroud of Turin". Of course, only some photographs were used, as the content was mostly descriptive narration by that scholarly priest.
This new stunt sounds like Von Hagen means to border on morbid bad taste in the very least, using a corpse to pound nails through the wrists and feet, etc. This would be sickening and I hope this program and its originators are thoroughly castigated if it turns out as such.
Did he show Madonna how to hang appropriately?
You might want to ask the moderator to correct your misspelling of crucifixion.
The word comes from the roots cruci, meaning "cross." and fix, meaning "to attach."
It's a common misspelling, but the word "fiction" means something untrue, so the misspelling is kind of ugly. It's often used by those who disbelieve in the crucifixion of Jesus.
Great, now we'll see it as a new form of exploitative art, with corpses popping up in the toitiest of Manhatten galleries.
