Jesus Will Survive

This video has been viewed more than a million times and become one of the most discussed items on YouTube. It features a half-naked, pre-crucifixion Christ dancing along Hollywood Boulevard singing Gloria Gaynor's nauseating 1979 hit, I Will Survive. Christ, played by a certain Javier Prato, shoves pedestrians out of the way as he minces aggressively towards a busy traffic junction. Net users seem unable to make up their minds about whether Prato is simply having a harmless laugh (the video is very funny) or indulging in some heavy duty apostasy. Either way, the video is now so popular that last week Prato was offered a multimillion dollar film deal to repeat his exploits in feature-length format. Not bad for a bloke in a nappy indulging in 90 seconds of Dom Joly-isms.
