Crazy. Watch this, then check out J. K. A. Smith's philosophical commentary below. (very short)<br />
<br />
<object style="height: 390px; width: 640px;"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/uM-0nUy7Ye0?version=3"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/uM-0nUy7Ye0?version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="390"></object><br />

Smith: <br />
<br />
In Desiring the Kingdom I offer an opening phenomenology of the mall as a temple--a religious, liturgical space whose labyrinthine corridors are lined by tiny chapels devoted to various saints. And those saints, I suggest, are "pictured" not in the flat renditions of stained-glass but in the 3-D icons of mannequins draped in the au courant vision of "the good life."<br />
<br />
Well, in that vein, my former student Bryan Kibbe recently pointed me to an almost incredible short film that documents the work and vision of a mannequin factory. Titled "34 x 25 x 36" (you can guess why), the documentary unveils the unapologetic industry of female "perfection," eliciting from the owners and designers a shameless articulation of their goals. This is a must-see for those working in gender studies.<br />
<br />
But halfway through the film (at about the 3:30 mark), one of the owner/designers begins to rhapsodize about their work as a deliberate extension of religious devotion to the saints--embodying the now secular, materialist ideal for women to emulate, yea, "worship."<br />

He is a wise old guy, and pretty much doesn't care about being popular. He cares about people, their money, and not the "hysterical" lobbyists. This could be a real strength when changes is needed. A younger person with a career ahead of them might come under influence (based on future success and vocational advancement) more easily. RP's voting record and solidarity speaks volumes.<br />

But we need reminders like these. I don't care where we're at in life, its imperative to slow down and remember the fragility and blessing of our existence. The power of the message doesn't require your belief in God. But because He holds all things together, and by a common covenant grace we are imago dei, it will strike an intuitive chord.<br />
<br />
He really does use the weak things of the world to shame the wise; power is made perfect in <br />
weakness. Actually, it makes me mad at times. I am in awe at how people could rejoice in this sort of suffering. It isn't natural. Exactly, and I am humbled.<br />
