Alexandra Pelosi Comes to God
ORLANDO, FL (Disassociated Press) January 26, 2007 – Film maker Alexandra Pelosi, whose documentary Friends of God debuted on HBO yesterday, announced today that she has accepted Jesus Christ as her Own Lord and Personal Savior, and will devote the rest of her life to spreading the Word of God.
Ms. Pelosi’s announcement came as a surprise to many, who had viewed the Emmy nominated film maker’s most recent production as a mockery of Christian Evangelicals in the United States.
“When I was watching the debut of the documentary on HBO last night, I was moved – I suddenly realized what I have been called to do in life,” explained Ms. Pelosi, whose mother, Nancy Pelosi, became the first woman Speaker of the United States House of Representatives earlier this month.
“It’s funny, because when I was watching this one part of the movie, where I was getting in and out of people’s cars so they could proselytize to me, I actually made the comment to one driver about how easily people in the ‘Bible Belt’ let me in their vehicles. I remember thinking to myself when I said it, ‘wow – it would be so simple to be a serial killer, just like Aileen Wuornos (a Florida prostitute who was executed for the murders of seven victims, and the portrayal of whose life garnered an Academy Award for actress Charlize Theron in the film Monster).’”
The debut of Friends of God was followed on HBO by an episode of Real Sports (with Bryant Gumble), and then an episode of Real Sex titled Pornucopia: Going Down in the Valley 01: Perky and Punctual, which chronicled, among other things, aspiring porn actors attempting to break into the industry, and the AVN Awards (an adult film version of the Oscars) in Las Vegas.
Ms. Pelosi made her announcement here at The Holy Land Experience, a theme park close to Disney World which attempts to re-create the experience of being in Jerusalem at the time of Jesus. The park was featured in Ms. Pelosi’s documentary.
The Disassociated Press caught up with long time Theological Contributor Cardinal Roulette Bourgnian of France (see Mother Teresa Beatified; Still Dead, The Disassociated Press, October 20, 2003; Pronunciation of 'Goddameter' Debated by Theologians, The Disassociated Press, April 19, 2004; Gibson to Re-Shoot 'Braveheart,' 'The Patriot,' 'We Were Soldiers,' The Disassociated Press, August 7, 2006) who happened to be vacationing at the Holy Land Experience. “I am delighted for Alexandra, and I wish her well on her spiritual journey,” commented the Cardinal. Sadie Goldstein of Crown Heights was also on vacation at theme park and joined the Cardinal in words of well wishes for Ms. Pelosi. “She seems like such a nice young chiksa – and I hope her husband is a nice Goy boy.”
