Deodorant School Easter Play Ad (Joke/Proposed)

Okay, so this is definitely going to offend some people, but I’m going to do it anyway. (Not that I want to offend people, though…)

An Easter school play has a scene with students playing the parts of the crucified Jesus and the two thieves on either side of him. The student playing the thieves on either side of the student playing Jesus have anguished looks on their faces, so much so that everyone in the audience, and even the teacher directing the play comment on how convincing their suffering is. But then, one of the students playing a Roman soldier tells the teacher/director that they’re not acting; it’s because the student playing Jesus has bad underarm odor, and in his crucified position his underarms are exposed and facing out so that everyone can smell it.

(This would probably work best as an ad for a deodorant aimed at high school boys, since adults might be offended by this spot. But in my experience, high school boys tend to love jokes about religion, so I think it would be a winner with them.)
