They thought they could bury The Passion with negative publicity and bad reviews, but all they did was give Gibson millions in free advertising. Now they've created a blockbuster.

The topic has dominated talk radio around here. I heard one secularist call with some conspiracy theory that Gibson timed the release of The Passion to coincide with the Catholic report on priest sex abuse. The maroon didn't know it was Ash Wednesday and Lent - probably doesn't even know what they are.

I heard some jerk on the radio last night claiming it was all an anti-sematic plot and that all the movie does is say "See, the Jews Killed Christ" nothing anyone else said would change his rant of "Jew-hater" and that Gibson planned it that way.

Ashes and Lent. Don't those come from your clothes dryer?

Yeesh, what a maroon that caller was.
