2. Yes, more than one.

But it has been awhile.

Read the transcript. Funny you should mention it. I just saw it downstairs for the first time, after having discussed it ad nauseum. Had my spouse pull it up.

Great freaking ad though!

4. Forgot to say so ... yes, it was great.

If I had my way, all of the progressives would join one of the progressive churches ... UCC, Unitarian-Universalist, Church of Religious Science, Quaker, Metropolitan Community, etc.... and drop churches like the Southern Baptist Convention's member-churches like a bad habit. Reclaim spirituality ... reject the patriarchy!

Sorry, EOR. Must be phoney-baloney tolerant when I smile at the fundie relatives next week.

CLEVELAND -- The CBS and NBC television networks are refusing to run a 30-second television ad from the United Church of Christ because its all-inclusive welcome has been deemed "too controversial."
The ad, part of the denomination's new, broad identity campaign set to begin airing nationwide on Dec. 1, states that -- like Jesus -- the United Church of Christ seeks to welcome all people, regardless of ability, age, race, economic circumstance or sexual orientation.

According to a written explanation from CBS, the United Church of Christ is being denied network access because its ad implies acceptance of gay and lesbian couples -- among other minority constituencies -- and is, therefore, too "controversial."
