A beer commercial featuring Jesus?

Hi

This is my attempt at creating a mock ad to sell beer to christians. Let me know what you think. All comments welcome.

(Note: This is meant to be more of a comment on the advertising industry's questionable ethics than anything else.)

Thanks kindly

I thought it was funny -- but then I'm not a practising Christian. If I was, I might be really offended! Substitute "Muslim" for "Christian" here and you would be in a whole world of pain...

Wow, I actually understood that, Chucky. Should I be worried?

Glad this isn't a REAL commercial, or else I would be offended. But I see your point, people will stoop to any level to market something.

For instance:
Joe Camel cigarettes not targeting kids, yeah right. What person goes their entire adolescence without smoking, becomes an adult, and then goes, I sure would like to start an addictive habit that is going to ruin my health? If people didn't start smoking as kids the cigarette industry would go belly up. They're HOPING kids start smoking.

R-rated movies that market toys to kids that aren't supposed to be seeing R-rated movies.... Terminator? Robocop?

Sex sells- Milky Way candy bars? "They finally did it in the dark." Jack in the Box "Let's make a Jack sandwich" simulated porn scene.

Guess they don't hire marketing "geniuses" for nothing. Okay, done for now.

Hey- I really liked that advert- I thought it was clever and funny.

Well done!

Well, I am a christain... I can see as that can offend my kind... But hey! I got a sence of humor! I loved that!!! Hahha!

It is very funny but I can see you're not a Christian. They drank wine at the last supper! I'm afraid you'll have to do it all over again and turn it into some Chardonnay commercial.
