Is Tim Tebow the New Touchdown Jesus?

Many of you received a ranting email from me yesterday questioning whether or not Tebowmania has finally gone to far.  For those that didn't get the email or want to catchup on the post, here is a repost.

As most of us grew up in the late 70's / early 80's, many of us are familiar with the 1985 movie St. Elmo's Fire and the theme song, "Man in Motion (St. Elmo's Fire)," written by John Parr.  Well with Tebowmania at an all time high, John Parr found it necessary to rewrite the 80's classic and change it to "Tim Tebow's Fire."  I haven't had a problem with anything Tebow's done to this point and feel that he receives a ton of unnecessary criticism for his actions.  I personally think he's a good role model.  People complain about his religion but keep in mind that those are his beliefs and he's not asking you to share them.  I do however have a problem with this John Parr remake.  To me it's completely ridiculous and over the top.  Here's the NY Daily News article, along with the YouTube clip of the song embedded in the article.  Check it out for yourself.
