Imperfect Homeschooler had a post about a movie that offended somebody. In the movie about an advertising executive, this fellow happens to meet up with Jesus in the desert near Emmaus. He gives Jesus a Coke, and Jesus happily drinks it.
Now, is the Church upset by this? No outcry there.
Who's upset? The Coke folks. They aren't "interested in this kind of product placement." It could give Coke a negative image. The Coke folks insisted the movie be pulled from distribution until the scene can be edited out.

Dave Barry, the humorist, had a post about this. He says that there was a Dr. Pepper in the New Testament.
ReplyDeleteI haven't been able to find such a reference. :)
