Pitch: The Curse of Cursing

A movie star participating in home building with Habitat for Humanity is videotaped by a budding paparazzi who catches the moment where the star accidentally hammers his thumb and mutters, "Goddamn it!" The clip is posted on-line and causes religious groups to boycott the star for exposing his true beliefs against God and various faiths weigh in to denounce him and make sure his new films and TV shows are boycotted. He gives an apology and cops to the fact that yes under stress his true feelings are revealed and submits to an interview with Jerry Springer who is the only arbiter of truth and agrees to let someone hammer his hand for extreme pain before each answer. But the process fails and with a crushed hand and spirit he is visited by Jesus who offers to smite them all. He has mercy on his tormenters and decides only to let Jesus kill the paparazzi - not just the one who posted the video but every site and gossip rag. It is a bloodbath. Cameras explode, just enough to envelope their operators. Red carpets become even redder, purely with paparazzi blood, with the celebrities all spared the carnage. I don't guarantee there would be an audience for this, but I have a feeling there might be some support.
