Notes: Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ" has made worldwide news and reaped wild amounts of money. What was unexpected is that several people have confessed to crimes after watching the movie. A man in Houston confessed to killing his girlfriend. In Norway after seeing the film, a man confessed to have bombed two left-wing offices during his Neo-Nazi past during the 1990s. Hey, if it's that provocative, maybe law enforcement should screen the film during interrogations. As an interrogation tool, it wouldn't maim anyone. 04.04.04
