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.

Excuse my Fletch, but...Jesus H. Christ on a popsicle stick!

This is on par with those who wanted the Tampa Bay Devil Rays name changed because "devil" was inappropriate and "ray" backwards is "yar," Satan's puppy.

Morons.

Many years ago I worked at a company whose phone number was XXX-X666, and we had a woman call up and demand that we change it. Silly people.

Is there a suprise ending to this movie or something? I think I already pretty much get the plot and don't need to sit through slow motion flogging...

I knew someone who had their address changed because it was 666. Then again, I would too

This wasn't supposed to happen until AFTER JUNE 8. At least that is what David Booth said.

Aw, I thought this was going to be a thread with a waffle shaped like Jesus or something. :(

Reading the first post would involve taking Bubba off my ignore list, so no can do.

It's one thing to post out of the box accidentally. It's quite another to do it at will, and repeatedly.

LOL, what good is putting someone on your 'ignore' list, if you can't advertise it? :rolleyes:

That's kind of like hotels that have no 13th floor.

To quote a standup comedian I once saw: "If you try to kill yourself by jumping off the 14th floor of a hotel, you will die early."
