God & James & Tom & Jerry

God's press conference after the launch of Jeff's new book now promises to be an even more heated affair. James Cameron, director of the abysmal (geddit?) Titanic, has made a documentary claiming Jesus wasn't resurrected and had a son with Mary Magdalene. 'Don't get angry,' I told God, 'get even.' Mind you, He calmed down and became reflective when He saw this vid. The Iranian theory is that Tom & Jerry was a Jewish plot to improve the image of mice. Hitler, you see, had called the Jews mice. Oh, right. 'Basically,' said God, spraying Elnett on His beard, 'I created 6 billion cretins.' 'You did,' I said, 'but don't feel bad, we're on the way out.'

    The Titanic was an immense work of art which I'm sure won lots of Oscars, the ultimate proof of cinematic genius, and I am now to be taken very seriously in this very serious documentary about earth-shattering revelations,that one could genuinely say is the meeting of the blockbusterishtastic world and the religious. I work in Hollywood for goodness sake; it's not as if we're talking about someone who reflects a kind of cultural arsehole of the world engaged in hypnotising the dumb ignorant herds(your words, not mine) and confusing the shite out of them. How many Oscars did God ever win? And don't go saying I am an anti-Christ; I merely an employee. O Brave New World Order.

    How come the link to the hairspray site? It's a little incongruous. Are we talking sponsorship, Bryan? Another nice little earner?

    Ah good to hear from you, Big Jim. And, Neil, the random, not quite justified link is copied from Wife in the North. She does it a lot and, for some reason, I find it funny.

    I'm going to let you in a big secret, Bryan, regarding my next movie venture- a movie version of Gericault's Raft of the Medusa, but with the added spice of a tumultuous love affair on board involving.....you'll never guess-think New Testament. Serious kick-ass Blockbuster material. With a capital b. Anyway, it'll have everything-the ocean, death, people, sex, religion, life, cannibalism, scientology, music, terrorism, big-name movie Stars(very very Big), and me directing it. Spielberg'll shit himself.

    Please don't tell me that in this movie Jesus is on the cross, arms outspread and shouting "I'm the King of the Jews" ...
