Certainly for Palm Sunday. "Rabbi, can't you get the donkey to stand still for the shot?" "No, children, don't wave your palm branches in front of the rabbi's face!"
The game: Describe in a line or two what the suggested Biblical scene might have been like had paparrazi been present. Then suggest a new scene, providing book, chapter and verse reference for clarity.
To begin:
Jonah in the belly of the fish (Jonah 1:17)

"Jeez, can you believe we've been camped out here for three days and three nights waiting for this guy to come out? By the way, I'm from People magazine, what about you?" "Field and Stream."
Lot's wife turned into a pillar of salt (Genesis 19:26)
-------------------- Do not be daunted by the enormity of the world’s grief. Do justly, now. Love mercy, now. Walk humbly, now. You are not obligated to complete the work, but neither are you free to abandon it.

"Right, then. Sinners over here, tax collectors over there, please. Rabbi, you sit in the middle. Could you all please refrain from putting food in your mouths until I've snapped the shot? No, don't break the bread just yet, Rabbi. Thanks."

"Okay, he's on a boat. I like that. But he's talking about farmers. When he's on a boat. Bit of a disconnet there. Maybe just show a clip of him on the boat, and have the anchor summarize his general point. Oh, and have we got a confirmation on this calming the storm stuff?"

Good Evening, Tonight's outside broadcast comes from the Palace of Belshazzar, I understand that in the last few hours there has been another strike by a phantom hand. We are joined by a Council Leader Red Dan, an expert in phantom handwriting interpretation who is calling for official recognition for graffitti artists and is campaigning for local funding from the Government.
Hmm Can I call you Dan? What is your interpretation of this strange writing?
Dan: Well It seems to be a prophecy that in the future someone greater than he, will come. I believe the name of this great one is "Bansky"

"OK, look, I can't get all 5000 of you in the shot. Where's the boy who had the fish? You? Stand over here. Hold this fish up, will you? That's a good boy. And what about the guy who had the loaves? Over here, please. Now, you, there, hold up that basket of leftovers. That's it. OK, now smile, everybody, and look like you've just eaten a full meal."
