Jesus for Coke?
I would consider myself a man with a lot of time on his hands, not because I am unemployed, because I do have a job – but because I have an incredibly high amount of inner dialog that more often than not takes me on tangents that I rarely share with others. But today amongst the dough thickness jokes and the bizarre amount of time we spent talking about cats – I began thing about how if messiahs of certain religions where around today – they would be more popular than celebrities but they would still receive the same amount of scrutiny as a common celebrity even though they would be “prophets”.
But what struck me funny and I did actually laugh out loud a bit was the thought of Jesus doing an advertisement for Coca-Cola. Because in all fairness, people who are just sort of celebrities (Paris Hilton) get advertisement deals all the time, so I could only assume that the messiah for a chosen religion would get similar treatment.
I feel as if most ads would go something like this:
”Hi, I’m [insert Messiah's name here] and when I am not listening to the word of my chosen God I like to relax with a nice cold Coca-Cola. So the next time you are struggling for answers and a little relief – choose Coke!”
And since people love to fight and compete over their faiths, would rival messiahs do ads for rival companies?
Ah, I am probably going to hell for thinking this but – it makes sense to me.
