Cruci-fiction?

A Hollywood director believes he has found the tomb of Jesus. From Time's blog:
    Brace yourself. James Cameron, the man who brought you 'The Titanic' is back with another blockbuster. This time, the ship he's sinking is Christianity. In a new documentary, Producer Cameron and his director, Simcha Jacobovici, make the startling claim that Jesus wasn't resurrected--the cornerstone of Christian faith--and that his burial cave was discovered near Jerusalem. And, get this, Jesus sired a son with Mary Magdelene.
Come on! They can't possibly be serious:
    But film-makers Cameron and Jacobovici claim to have amassed evidence through DNA tests, archeological evidence and Biblical studies, that the 10 coffins belong to Jesus and his family.
Riiiiiiiight. We're supposed to believe that these guys had a sample of Jesus' DNA stashed away somewhere and have now been able to match it to a body found in a 2,000-year-old tomb?

Uh, yeah. And I thought we Christians were supposed to be the wackos.
