Christmas Shopocalypse: What Would Jesus Buy? by Orato

When Bill Talen came to New York City in the late 1990s, he found the
city in a state of perpetual consumption. Dismayed at the growing
shopping mall mentality, Talen took up a post with the sidewalk
preachers as a street performer and a star was born. Today, he is
Reverend Billy and leader of the Church of Stop Shopping, and he's on a
mission to save Christmas from the Shopocalypse: the end of mankind
from consumerism, over-consumption and the fires of eternal debt! His
film, What Would Jesus Buy? produced by Morgan Spurlock (Supersize Me)
is hitting theaters now. Here, he preaches about his socio-spiritual
transformation, and his ultimate goal: Saving the true meaning of
Christmas.
