Jesus Drinking Coca-Cola?

Coca-Cola Delays Italian Christian Film Release

An Italian film which shows a clip of Jesus drinking from a can of Coca-Cola will miss its Easter release date after the drinks company complained.

Seven Kilometres from Jerusalem tells the story of an advertising executive suffering a mid-life crisis who decides to take a trip to Jerusalem.

While driving through the desert to the city, he picks up a hitchhiker, who appears to be Jesus.

In the course of the film, Jesus drinks a can of Coke, and the man exclaims: "God, what a great endorsement!"

Coca-Cola said permission to use its trademark had not been granted.
