Now we're being proselytized by corporations?
So I was watching The Discovery Channel on sunday, and was kind of shocked to see the following.

http://www.interstatebatteries.com/godslove/
Same video on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIc3wUo6arQ

What...the...fuck? International Batteries has taken it upon themselves to start a Christian advertising campaign? That just seems weird.

1. I saw a recent post about The Discovery Channel playing a show named
"Noah's Ark: The True Story." *True* story. Now who would sponsor something like that?

4. Odd. Christian "institutional ad"
There is a general promotion of spirituality happening because all of the killing and war is bringing about the opposite reaction: love.

I HATE hearing corps talk about God - while he means well, I don't like any particular religion being shoved down my throat as the "only way..."

Have bought a lot of Interstate Batteries. Probably won't anymore.

7. No, I wasn't going to watch that drivel.
I don't remember the name of the show, it was a documentary look at some of the claims in "The Da Vinci Code" that I'd actually seen before.
