I finally (FINALLY!) started reading http://fafblog.blogspot.com/

I should have read this a lot sooner.

From Giblets' notes on "The Passion":

- Guards beat on Jesus when they arrest him. Serves him right for being a criminal - Giblets is "tough on crime."
- But before the trial, even more beating.
- And the beating continues.
- Y'know what our court procedures need here in America? More beatings.
- Oh, and now they're talking! Booooring. Get back to the beating!
