Life imitating art in the 916

There is a scene in “Airplane” when Kramer is trying to make his way through the airport and is being hounded by various religious zealots to the point that he starts punching and kicking them one by one…I’m sure you know the one. Well one of the zealots comes at him with the line “Jews for Jesus?” which results in a swift beat down.

As I was making my morning commute I couldn’t help but think of this scene when I noticed a huge bus in the parking lot of Safeway on Arden near Watt Avenue. I had to pull over and grab a photo. “Jews for Jesus” written on the side and back. Whiskey tango foxtrot is going on here? Details are sketchy, but I did find mention of it here (reader’s note: this link goes to the Athiest Alliance Web Center, you know, not that there’s anything wrong with that.)

If anyone has any information on this bus and its business in Sacramento, please let us know!

UPDATE: SinghCity went to work and delivered the goods with the link to the Web site and their business in the River CIty. Well done, brother. Cause you know, “Jesus spoke with a Jewish accent and so do we. After you hear the Liberated Wailing Wall, you may not like gefilte fish, but you will know more about the Jewish roots of our faith and have a deeper understanding of God’s Word.” I couldn’t get that at the atheist site, I’ll tell you that.

  1. At least the show in that Safeway parking lot is entertaining. Well, I find that entertaining. The Safeway on Alhambra still has a giant truck blocking about five parking spots promoting their own beef. Uh, if you’d move the truck and maybe put up a sign we could actuall get in.

  2. oh that’s a real group all right. i don’t know much about them but it always seemed like “Vegans for Beef”… even though it’s probably more like “Cat-Lovers for Popcorn”

    Excellent use of the airman’s alphabet, Mr. TopofIt, especially in a write-up that references “Airplane.” (And stop calling me “Shirley.”)
