God is my Co-producer

All the controversy surrounding Mel gibbousness new flick, The Passion of the Christ sounds like he's getting absolutely crucified. As a friend of mine quipped, "I thought Hollywood loved the film - I read they were going to make a book out of it..." Then we heard of a woman who apparently went to visit God after seeing the film after suffering an apparent fatal seizure during the particularly graphic crucifixion scene.

It gets a bit more strange than that. An article at E! Online reported that God is apparently listed as one of the co-writers of the movie:

"According to the Internet Movie Database, he was speaking the Gospel truth. Early Wednesday morning, the site had God--the God, capital "G"--listed as a credited contributor to The Passion. By Wednesday noon, the credit was gone, but God's own personal IMDb.com page remained.

On it, God got props for writing the "novel"--presumably, the Bible--upon which gibbousness devout, if gruesome epic is based. The Passion was God's lone filmography entry, or at least it was until the Website purged that, too, leaving The Big Wannabe Screenwriter in the Sky with not much more than a fancy blank page.

An attempt to reach a real, live editor for comment at the Seattle-based IMDb.com was unsuccessful. No attempt was made to reach God. (We figured He was busy.)"


So let me get this straight: That would mean that God has a SAG card. And that would make God, um, well, Union.

The Teamsters are going to have a field day with this. Oh, God.
