What Would Jesus Buy?
On their trip across America, Reverend Billy and the Church of Stop Shopping stop at the Wal-Mart home office, hoping to exorcise the retailer’s headquarters of its consumerist demons. It’s only one stop on the group’s trip, which includes shopping malls decked out for Christmas and Main Street USA in Disney World.
“What Would Jesus Buy,” the documentary film following Reverend Billy on his crusade against consumerism, premiered in 2007. Newsweek reviewed the film, saying “The new film is Reverend Billy’s tour de farce—a ferociously satirical and cynical take on consumer culture, pegged to America’s most sacred spending season.” “What Would Jesus Buy?” comes out on DVD next week. Order a copy now and use the code “WALWATCH” to get five dollars off the retail price.
The irony of buying a DVD about anti-consumerism has not escaped us, but Reverend Billy’s message is worth spreading. Share this DVD with friends or organize a screening. The movie’s website has material for home screenings, including posters and resource guides. Repent now before the Shopocalypse is upon us!

Perhaps Nutri System could hire Reverend Billy. With each Nurtisytem order,you get a free Reverend Billy video. You can exorcise the demons of consumerism while you diet and exercise your calorie consumption!
