I saw the funniest thing on TV this morning. Some environmentalist met up with some Christians and they came up with an idea to sell cars! Sure, that's crazy right? But then how else can you explain this? They stole a great slogan that actually makes being a 25 year old virgin a cool thing and turned it into the socio-economic bull most people refer to as "advertising."
They changed the slogan to..."What Would Jesus Drive?" What the kind of question is that? Besides being a total slap in the face to all the 25 year old virgins who hold their little wristbands as a symbol of solidarity. But to take their slogan and turn it into a way to sell cars? If they where really any good they would be selling themselve! Where do we draw the line? I once thought it would be a good idea for the president to do commercials to raise money for the national debt. Right? But then Clinton, did so many dirty things in the white house that I realized how cheap the presidency had become. But Jesus in a high mileage? Come on! Don't get me wrong, I like the idea of fuel cell cars that clean up the air and suck up less gas, but to bring Jesus into the whole thing is like getting Michael Jordan to sell batteries...err or Hotdogs...what he sells those too? Ok, so maybe advertising is truly the last step to selling your soul to the devil and Jesus needs to be around to keep an eye on those guys. But all I do know is that Jesus rode a camel or a donkey, Jesus walked, even over water, and Jesus probably hitchhiked. That's like, walk, bike, bus or carpool today. None of those was buy a new car to promote the car industry, even if it was fuel efficient. Jesus wanted people to have community not sacrilegious self-indulgence. So don't buy one of their cars cause Jesus would buy one buy one because you care about the air we breath.
