Super Bowl Ad Contest Causes Holy Uproar! What do you think? | Home

Super Bowl Ad Contest Causes Holy Uproar! What do you think?

So Doritos and Pepsi Max are running a contest for the best homemade Super Bowl ad. Entries are uploaded to the contest site and people vote for their favorite. The winning commerical gets aired during the big game and the creators get big bucks. So, a creative, young man decides to enter and posts his commerical titled "Feed Your Flock." In it a pastor wonders how he can bring people back to church and he prays for inspiration.



Certainly looks like a Catholic communion, but the writer (who is a practicing Catholic) says he purposely gave clues that it was not a communion service.  There is a "pastor" wearing a wedding ring, the church has no crucifix or altar and there was no blessing on the chips or soda.  Still, he told politicsdaily.com he knew what the joke was. "We set it up to look like it was communion, which creates this horror. And then the punch line is there -- the sign: 'Free Doritos and Pepsi Max.' It's not communion."
He managed to offend many Catholics.  So many, in fact, that he eventually pulled the ad off the contest website and off YouTube.

What do you think? Is it sacrilegious?
