“Reverend Billy is seriously hilarious.” — Variety
Last year, Americans shoppers spent $455 billion dollars during the holidays. Consumer credit debt is now $2.4 trillion dollars. 26 million Americans are addicted to shopping.
In What Would Jesus Buy?, Reverend Billy and the Church of Stop Shopping Gospel Choir travel the country preaching the coming Shopocalypse resulting from the escalating commercialization of Christmas, gluttonous levels of consumption and the fires of eternal debt. During the journey to save shoppers from the clutches of retail giants, there are corporate exorcisms and retail interventions and a reminder that some might appear to be losing their way in the true meaning of Christmas.
