Response: Brian's Blog [Week 2]

Brian's thoughts this past week on whether or not Jesus would be involved in culture in the highly visible media outlet or a counter culture setting is an very interesting one. Personally, when I think about how Jesus would act in today's culture, I always think of the Jesus who lives in South Park. For better or worse. Okay, it's definitely worse with South Park most of the time.

The South Park Jesus has a cable access show and every one in a while takes on characters the likes of Satan or Santa in some episodes. Okay, maybe it's not the "artfully done iconic rebellion" Brian was thinking of in his blog post, but you have to admit it's rebellious in it's own shape and form. But regardless of the medium, I tend to agree that Jesus wouldn't stay close to the vest, appear on Leno, or do things by the book. Besides... in my mind, Jesus is more of a Letterman guy anyways.
