I'm with you, Jimbo. I don't even HAVE a TV, and I rarely watch blockbuster movies. Can't stand most celebrities or the Hollywood scene, so the Oscars are a waste of my time.
The Opel story was funny though... *snicker*

No offense Bumper Guy, but what does this have to do with the subject at hand? Besides the most tenuous of links, of course...

I'm not going to bother touching upon the unscholarly non-tangential opinions expressed by the nonbelievers, I've got better things to do with my time anyways and I doubt it would change their minds...
People have been trying since shortly after he had been killed to put some tangible marker upon the site of his death / resurrection / etc. Some people have even resorted to the blasphemy of fakery, in the selfish interest of staking some sort of imagined claim upon what they seem to think is "sacred ground." The ossuary in question is a fine example of this.
Nevertheless, the reality is that there isn't, nor SHOULD there be, a tangible spot on the earth that is "sacred ground." It shouldn't matter if Jesus was born in a manger in Bethlehem or a tenement building in Brussels, or a plantation in Biloxi. It shouldn't matter if he preached his message in Jerusalem or Jodhpur or Jersey. It shouldn't matter if he offered up his life on a torture stake, a cross, or the hood of a '56 Chevy Bel-Air.
What matters is that he DID.
I am sorry for those who feel it in their hearts to snicker at us faithful followers, or who feel that they have to justify his existence by faking evidence, or who think it's all some sort of great joke to pawn forgeries off on the devoted. They are going to have to explain their actions someday, to a power that won't take sweet-talk or excuses. Maybe not in my lifetime, maybe not in my son's lifetime, but someday eventually.
It is a day that I, as a Christian, am trying to prepare for.

I choose to believe in his existence, but that's a debate for another time.
Whatever your beliefs, a little delving into Biblical Jewish Culture will show that this story holds no water. Very few people were buried in sarcophagi in Jesus' day. That was something reserved for the very rich, and neither Jesus' family nor his disciples would have been able to afford such an extravagance. (For that matter, Jesus himself wouldn't have stood for such an unnecessary expense either...) The poor to average person was usually embalmed in various preservative oils and herbs, wrapped in linen and usually placed in a small excavation or cave. The destitute or leprous were just burned or dumped into a shallow grave in the town's potter's field.
Not to mention the actual Biblical account itself, which gives absolutely no mention of stone caskets involved in Jesus' burial.

I also suspect a Micro$oft endorsement hidden behind the funny, not that that makes it any less funny of course. Only one endorsement for the Wii though, which is a bummer.
The Wii is mopping the floor with the P(O)S3 in sales. I see this every day of my work shift; for every one PS3 shopper coming in, at least a dozen Wii shoppers come through. We can't keep Wiis in stock, while we have an OVERstock of PS3s! *LOL!*
