I would think Jesus standing there preaching would be more of an apt image of the man, particularly if I were Jesus. His message was more important than the fact that he was nailed to a cross, was it not?

Oh please, it's not like the cross is a life like prop complete with stage blood pumping out of his hands and feet while he screams "Aaaaaa! OH MY GOD DOES THAT EVER F'IN HURT!!!" while a robotic soldier continually pierces his side with a spear.
It's a static image, and a pretty tame one if you ask me.
