Man dressed as devil disrupts screening of Gibson's "Passion"

[ScoobMaster]

Story Here

Moviegoers at Country Cinemas in Evansville attending a showing of ?Passion of the Christ? got more than they bargained for Saturday night.

They were greeted in the lobby of the theater by a man wearing a ?red devil? costume. Tyler Wendell, a 19 year old freshman at the University of Southern Indiana, caused quite a ruckus with his get-up. The audience, many who were part of church groups, was visibly upset by the antics of Wendell.

Once inside the movie, Christians began pelting Wendell with Gummy Bears, Ju-Ju Bees, and popcorn. Management got involved after a 75-year-old woman, Hazel Meyer, poured a 64-ounce Coca-Cola on Wendell. Brian Fitzgerald, General Manager of Country Cinemas, asked Wendell to leave because he was such a disruptive presence.

Why didn't they throw out the assholes who were throwing stuff at him? :| They were the ones causing the disruption.

Is this "Passion" movie a comedy?

If Jesus is so sacred, why is there a movie about him that does little more than show you the unspeable horror of his death with little if no other message?

It was bound to happen. I wonder if anyone is going to dress up as Jesus.

I guess Christianity is not a tolerant religion.

No more over the line than religous groups protesting on campus with posters picturing aborted fetuses.

It showed you what he went through so that you wouldn't have to- and what you saw wasn't even the beginning.

So Jesus died so noone else would be crucified? Are you saying Jesus was the last man crucified?

werd!

He also wanted to prove ?that Christians aren?t as forgiving as they portray?. Wendell says his actions were also partially due to a genuine dislike of Mel Gibson.

hahaha sweet.

There is nothing sacred about a movie. PERIOD. It was a stupid and inappropriate act, probably, but at least he's trying to get people not to take themselves so seriously and that's at least commendable.

May I repeat, whatever your faith if it's stability relies on your quiet enjoyment of a MOVIE, you've got some issues. Go to the next showing or ask for your money back. The a-holes throwing stuff were a bunch of jerks.
