Passion Tickets Bear 'Mark of the Beast'

ROME, Georgia (AP) -- Tickets at one movie theater screening Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ" are being deemed decidedly unholy.

The number 666, which many Christians recognize as the "mark of the beast," is appearing on movie tickets for Gibson's film at a Georgia theater, drawing complaints from some moviegoers.

The machine that prints tickets assigned the number 666 as a prefix on all the tickets for the film, said Gary Smith, owner of the Movies at Berry Square in northwest Georgia. The 666 begins a series of numbers that are listed below the name of the movie, the date, time and price.

"It's from our computer and it's absolutely a coincidence," Smith said. "It has nothing to do with the film company or any vendor. It's completely in our computer."

In the Bible, the book of Revelation says 666 is the "number of the beast," usually interpreted as Satan or the Antichrist.

Several patrons have made comments about the numbers, and one person who was uncomfortable having 666 on her ticket asked for a pass to be substituted for a ticket.

"A lot of people have asked what the numbers mean, some said it seemed odd, some said it was inappropriate," said theater employee Erica Diaz.

The movie, which opened Wednesday, is a bloody depiction of Christ's final hours and crucifixion.
Ladies and gentlemen, Satan has left the building.

Very silly, especially since it is still highly debated as to whether "666" is the true mark of the beast. Either way, it's a farking NUMBER. You're about to watch a movie where your savior gets crucified among other horrible things and people are upset over a number?

Maybe Hero2 is implying that as a christain we all should be offended by this horrible 666 number appearing on the movie ticket(even though it was put there randomly along with other numbers by a computer)

Hehe.. it's just like if Chinese see the number 4. They flip out. Otherwise, 8's a lucky number.

Hmmm, an odd coincidence.

But, the only reason people are flipping out is because it is a religious movie, and having that number on the tickets is kind of odd, I suppose.

Yeah, well if you take Mel Gibson's first name, and change the M to an H, and add an extra L at the end, it spells Hell!

Clearly a follower of Satan.

Which reminds me. Anyone remember KKK and Snapple?

http://www.snopes.com/business/alliance/snapple.asp

I remember seeing a segment on the news long ago where people were turning in glasses of Snapple with "KKK" in the barcode, or other code.


As for Dyne's comment. Wooah, must suck to be Chinese... 4 is a pretty common number =¬Þ

Oh ho... but if you take Gibson, switch all vowels to o, and mirror image the b, you get God Son.

Obviously a Demigod.
