An Ethos for our Time.
"What Would Jesus Do?"
A fine question to ask one's self, the most personal idea of imitatio dei that has come about in recent times. This Christian revolution which, for all intents and purposes was just another clothing fad and directly predates the rubber bracelets we all wear today, but had some meat to its ideology. Who better for a Christian to try and live up to than their ultimate moral exemplar? Who better for Christians to emulate than the one who selflessly offered help to the poor and sick, fed masses (with a little help from a divine power), cured people with little care for return payment, and would smite the occasional fruit tree for not fulfilling its purpose. All but the last one considered, it is a worthy and admirable cause to try and follow the example of Jesus of Nazareth.
Too bad our world isn't ready for it. No, our world needs something that deals with the problems of today, today. It needs something that is strong and fair, but isn't afraid of self-defense and amazingly strong tactics. We need someone to follow who could truly stun the world over with his amazing prowess in multiple areas like escaping POW camps, driving Mustangs, playing poker, and getting the hot chicks, and all without having to fire more shots from his gun than necessary. He does it through intellect, homegrown skills, and pure manliness. Ladies and gentlemen, ask yourself from now on....
What Would Steve McQueen Do?
Yea, through a riveting Q&A session, let me prove to thou the validity of this one great lord. Our communion of raw steaks and black coffee, fitting of our lord, shall be served afterwards:
Q: O! cruel fate. Verily, I hath been incarcerated in a camp designed for the purpose of holding prisoners of war. How doth one go about securing the wherewithal to escape this most auspicious of prisons?
A: Truer words hath never been spoken, you are in a most fortunate spot. When thou doth ask WWSMcQD?, or more simply WWSMD?, remember these simple, easy to follow steps. First, thou shalt be a royal pain in the ass to the vanguard soldiers securing you stay in this facility. Then, thou shalt be constantly confined to a confinement that is indubitably solitary. Finally, thou shalt be let in on a adventure, romantic though it may be, to escape and flee across the verdant pastoral hills of Bavaria towards the land of the Swiss on a motorbike. Indeed, thou shalt be so fast in your flight, you shall arrive at your destination before a aeroplane in flight can. So sayeth the Book of the Great Escape
Q: Blast! A man I meant to converse with in a most interogative manner hath escaped in his Dodge Charger? Whatever is a person in my unfortunate position to do?
A: This one is quite simple, childe. Mount your iron-sided Mustang and give chase through the hills of San Francisco! Yea, our lord rewards his followers well, for your quandry will inevitably experience a crashing and burning the likes of which have not been seen since the Gospel of Bullitt.
Q: A desperate commune of yeomen have beseeched me for my help in defending their town from a gang of ignoble ruffians. Shall I help them?
A: Aye, help them. But beware! For while one man may be able to take down a platoon or even divison of stormtroopers, Western bandits are of a higher calibre. Thou wilst need at least 6 more men of a most magnificent character to defend this urban collective, all for the most meager of prices as our lord did in the epic The Magnificent Seven.
Q: I'm a Hollywood actor looking to make more money in my movies. How do I do so?
A: Do your stunts like the great Steve McQueen, ass.
