It's best to see Rev. Billy live with the Church of Stop Shopping Gospel Choir. Billy & crew descend on Starbucks often, performing exorcisms on their cash registers.

PS;If you read the book, the affluenza virus as postulated by James is a 'SET OF VALUES', which is has been gradually internalised through a combination of social conditions and upbringing-ie nature and nurture. This 'embeddedness' is psychological, calling people to stop shopping is counter-productive because it is not up for renegotiation in that way...you need to call people to reflect on what being human means in the grander scheme of things.....

oh, im sorry, i thought the radio station scene was a mockery, evidently it wasnt...my understanding of 'placing a high value' is not proclaiming that shopping is evil, as this video alludes...that is unrealistic and likely to have the negative effect on what should be a very seriously considered phenomena...secondly, holding the microphone stands and the theatricality of the voices of those 'praying' where im from is superflous...good book though...
this is the problem with religion, mockery...AFFLUENZA was a termed coined by psychiatrist oLIVER jAMES, this is a mockery both of christianity and a misunderstanding of what exactly the term means...what exactly is the point of this video?

"The Affluenza virus is a set of values which increase our vulnerability to psychological distress: placing a high value on acquiring money and possessions, looking good in the eyes of others and wanting to be famous."
-Oliver James
Where is the misundertanding? And what makes you think these people are mocking Christianity?
