Sure, Bill Maher is currently trying to bring the world of organized religion to its knees with his film Religulous, but can he compete with the fact that Robert Downey Jr. is encroaching on the popularity of Jesus. Alright, maybe not Jesus, but certainly one of those 12 Apostles. All kidding aside though, it appears that this Iron Man Blu-ray released — one that I proclaimed to be the definitive Blu-ray release of 2008 — is selling like crazy, at least according to Jon Favreau.

For those who don’t trust us, here is a clip from Favreau’s appearance on the Stern show:
