Crucifixion aborted

* ABORTED. Two Holy Weeks ago, a former rig driver in dire need of money agreed to have himself nailed to the cross for a fee. After the completion of the preparations for the crucifixion and a good number of people had gathered at the crucifixion site, the rig driver refused to push through with his being nailed to the cross unless the organizer paid him in full the amount agreed upon.

* THREAT. The organizer promised to pay after the crucifixion but the rig driver did not agree. The organizer and his group just disappeared from the scene. The people who had gathered to witness the "show" threatened to harm the rig driver but were pacified after an explanation. It was learned that the organizer made money from a Japanese tv network.
