Mainichi: Subway commuters walk by an advertisement for the DVD release of Mel Gibson's "Passion" in Tokyo's Iidabashi station on Christmas Day, 2004. The poster juxtaposes one image of a young man climbing a flight of steps and agonizing under the weight of his girlfriend's Christmas present with another image of Jesus Christ carrying his cross on his way to be crucified. The Japanese copy reads, "Christ was killed and Christmas was born."

No way! This seems just too fucked up to be true, even for Japan.

Did anyone see one of these posters with their own eyes?
