Vicar Distributes Porn Films by Mistake

"BERLIN (Reuters) - A German vicar inadvertently supplied his parish with dozens of hard core porn films in an unsuccessful bid to teach people about the life of Christ.

Frithjof Schwesig, vicar in the southwestern town of Lampoldshausen, had ordered 300 copies of a video film portraying the life of Christ as told by the gospel according to Luke.
'In a first batch 20 to 30 videos were distributed and we immediately got a reaction from five to seven people saying we must have given them the wrong film,' he said.
'It was a real porn film. Within an hour our staff had collected all the videos. Really, all were withdrawn.' "

Michael Crichton Speaks

"I have been asked to talk about what I consider the most important challenge facing mankind, and I have a fundamental answer. The greatest challenge facing mankind is the challenge of distinguishing reality from fantasy, truth from propaganda. Perceiving the truth has always been a challenge to mankind, but in the information age (or as I think of it, the disinformation age) it takes on a special urgency and importance. "

Came across a link to this site from a gaming mailing list that I'm a member of. A Phillipino gamer and friends are developing a game for the Action! System using this material...and I thought it looked interesting. [Don't worry....its in English...at least the parts I saw]
