The Media Frenzy!
Take a look (click image for full screen) What can you see?
A media frenzy. TV cameras, mobiles, cameras, hard hats, hi viz jackets, stewards and cops supervising.
What would you do if you came across this? You'd stop and have a look and ask - something's going on. There's someone on the telly. Wonder if it's someone famous? Is there someone here I know? Our love of celebrity is universal.
And then you'll have to look pretty hard to see a figure struggling with a lump of timber attached to his arm.
Why the hard hats and hi viz jackets? cos of health and safety of course! We may be stringing someone up to crucify him but we don't want any member of the public injured cos of our insurance. The policeman on the right is too busy watching the crowd to see what's happening in front of him.
The only person not getting a photo for their facebook page is the kid in the front who's face to face with Christ.
Does it make you feel uncomfortable? Hope so.
