Not big at all, I never heard of it till you posted it here. However you did get my attention so i watched the movie. Its one part commentary on the excessive commercialism of Christmas, sweatshops, and marketing to children (I agreed with that), one part funny songs, and one part making fun of Christians of all sorts including Catholics, Protestants and Mormons.
Since 1996 our project has expanded from a one-man performance artist preaching against consumerism on the sidewalks of Times Square to a 35-person choir and 7-person band with dozens of original songs, a critically acclaimed stage show, a major motion picture and multiple media platforms. We have demonstrated commitment to educating the public about the consequences of unsustainable consumption. Our message–consuming less–is the single most effective and immediate response an individual can take to imeediately halting the climate crisis. This same messaage has reached millions of people and has contributed to the public’s increasing awareness of the relationship between shopping and climate change. Besides our long-term commitment to promoting sustainable consumption, our organization’s efforts to revitalize public space and defend the first amendment have been documented all over the world.
So yeah about 50 people.
Some quotes from the movie:
" GIVE US SOME POWER TO…STOP SHOPPING! "
“We are being CONSUMED at Christmas time!”
“We have to take Starbucks into our bodies, it has come to our neighborhoods like space aliens. Is it our lover?”
a prayer is addressed to "the mother father God that is not a product "
“Oh Victoria! We know your secret!”
“Mickey Mouse is the anti-Christ!”
“the devil! Mickey Mouse!”
(Guy throwing them out of Disneyland) “Its not like on US public land where you are just free to … Sing”
“what was Christmas like before the shopping started?”
There is a scene where they try to do an exorcism on a walmart sign,
Scenes in a confessional… one where the girl tells about having to cut a dress off of herself while shopping, and the “reverend” says her fabulous body rejected the dress.
