Protesters complain about gay Jesus flick that doesn't even exist

12/29/2012

A film called "Corpus Christi" portraying Jesus and his disciples as gay men has sparked letters of complaint, forcing British Board of Film Classification staffers to point out that it doesn't even exist! There is a play with the same name and plot, but it has never been filmed, a detail that has been ignored for over a decade. "I can remember replying to people about this blasphemous film back in the late 1990s," the BBFC's Craig Lapper said. "This year again there was another spike in people writing to us to insist that we ban [it]." And, just like so much of the world's stupidity, Lapper thinks the outrage can be traced back to a widely circulated chain letter. [Source]
