107. I really do wish people would look at both pages of examples.

The contrast is quite striking.

You want to know something funny. The "Why Believe in God? Be Good for Goodness Sake" advertising generated a bunch of hate mail to the AHA of course. But guess what the primary complaint was. The copy wasn't the problem. The AHA used stock photos of African American, Asian, female, skinny, young, etc. dressed in the Santa costume. And everyone knows Santa was an elderly overweight white guy!

They were irate that the traditional image of an imaginary figure was tampered with in the ads!
