I was reading Jaffe Juice yesterday and he mentioned this site. If you’ve been exposed to very much Christian advertising you’ll either find it very humorous or it’ll piss you off. At first I thought it was real, because he spoofs it so well. Then I decided it couldn’t be real. I did a little research and discovered it really is meant to be humorous and not taken seriously.
People’s comments are all over the map, including those who are irritated that someone would find humor in something they consider to be so sacred. I mean no disrespect but these people need to get over themselves and their idea that God and laughter can’t be tied to one another. Have you taken a look at Christian advertising lately? Unfortunately much of it is very laughable, even when it’s supposed to be serious. The bar needs to be raised significantly if Christian marketers want to be taken seriously,
If you think the site is funny you need to check out this clip. If the site offended you then you should probably steer clear of Dr. VanPelt, and may God bless your brand.
May God bless your brand because he sure as hell isn’t going to bless you!
Where did you find out about the origins of this? I didn’t exactly dig too much myself, but I was with you that there was no way it was real…I just didn’t know WHY they did it.
I still can’t say WHY they did it other than for fun. Nor have I yet determined who THEY are. I never found actual proof that it was a spoof but I found enough to convince me. I used to be a pastor so I’ve seen and experienced a lot of related material. This whole Christvertising thing is so close to some of what is being produced as “real” advertising that it’s a great imitation. He is definitely spoofing what others are presenting as real programs or marketing.
Thanks for your blog
That guy seems to be mocking Jesus to me. Not funny
