The Evolving Word - Frontrunner for Quote of the Year

I don't comment very often on general news stories, but I couldn't let this one go by.

In a nutshell, a couple watches "The Passion of the Christ", argues, slaps, stabs and generally causes chaos. The sheriff's deputy, though, has the best line in this whole article: "Really, it was kind of a pitiful thing, to go to a movie like that and fight about it. I think they missed the point."

Is that not the perfect quote? C'mon...they fought over this movie and she STABBED him in the hand? That had to be calculated. And "missed the point"? I can't think of anyone who could be that witty, that quick, in that situation. That deputy must have had a smirk on his face when he said it.

Finally, he said it was "a pitiful thing, to go to a movie like that and fight about it." Uh...isn't that kind of what has happened for 2000 years since the crucifixion? If no one ever fought about it, would we even have had the movie in the first place?
