Jesus to be cast in romantic comedy

Ron Howard's Oscar-winning producing partner Brian Grazer will make a
contemporary romantic comedy in which Jesus works as a carpenter in Ikea.
Prodigal Son centres on a workaholic woman whose mother unknowingly sets her
up with the unassuming local employee who just happens to be the Christian
son of God. In a move presumably designed to assuage the fears of religious
followers, Grazer's wife and screenwriter Gig Levangie Grazer said, "He
won't be having sex. It'll be a disarming romantic comedy, a story of
unrequited love, sort of like Splash." Christians the world over will
doubtless be relieved to hear that.

I can guess how he dies to save all of our souls:
By assembling all that Ikea furniture that would otherwise show up in 45
pieces with ill-fitting pegs, oddball panels, sadistic little metal
disposable screw-tightening thingies (that really do tear your skin apart
and leave you with stigmata) and, last but not least, those
Garden-of-Edenishly multiculturally accessible wordless directions featuring
maddening exclamation marks and warning symbols next to arrows vividly
pointing at some poorly illustrated panel corner (that wasn't in your box).

If you'd like to see a real reaction, make a similar movie about
Mohammed and see what goes down or up or flying in all directions.
