Sounds like this mashup's auteur, Shakes McFadden, could use a day off of his own. Link & blockquote via BENJI Films...
When I first posted this, I was going to write why it is the length it is, but figured it did not matter. now, after so many people feel the need to let me know how they feel about the 4 mins+ trailer, I have decided to share the reasons why it is the way it is.

Now don't get me wrong, I have no problem accepting criticism, I welcome it, but since I have a reason for this particular one, I figured I would post it. To quote Dr. Frankenfurter in RHPS when first showing off Rocky and met with Janet stating he was not her type of guy:"I didn't make him for you!".

The trailer was not edited down to 2 or 3 minutes, because it was the perfect length for my target audience: me.

Is it just me or does Jesus bare an uncanny resemblance to Chuck Norris? See also GODzilla! Link & blockquote via Flickr...
Jesus Christ

Positives: Impressive stamina. Historically known for taking a beating, staying on his feet. Has history of miraculous resurrection.

Negatives: Invented Pacifism. Dangerous habit of turning the other cheek.

Charles Darwin

Positives: Invented Natural Selection. Understands what's at stake with "Survival of the Fittest".

Negatives: Theology student, nearly became an Anglican parson. Mixed feelings punching his Lord's Only Son and Savior in the face.
