I just saw the UCC commercial... on ABC Family.
So, this is "too controversial" for NBC or CBS, but ABC FAMILY has no problem running it .... in the middle of an ANIMATED CHRISTMAS SPECIAL MARATHON?

Too weird.

Don't ask me why I'm watching an animated Christmas special marathon.....

1. Refresh my memory what is the UCC commercial? ABC Family is kind of
run by "unique thinking people":silly:

2. The commercial for the UCC... kind of lefty
leaning gayfriendly church that shows two gay guys getting turned away from a more traditional church... big emphasis on "the church where everyone is welcome."

4. I sent in my donation to fund more airings of the ...
commercial today.

I would love to see DUers and other progressives just plain drop out of any church or congregation that is not pro-gay-rights and pro-human-rights.

Hit 'em in the pocketbook! Send a message! Be inclusive or lose members!

5. our local news showed it in the context
of cbs, et al saying it was 'too controversial'to air. I found it a very powerful commercial, especially the tag line "jesus didn't turn any one away" BTW, the bouncers were HOT!
