i tracked down the commercial, and i think it’s pretty inoffensive across the board. though i get how people who want christianity to be the cudgel they use to punish out-groups wouldn’t like it.

the weirdest part about it, aesthetically, was playing a cover of the INXS ballad originally written and performed by a guy that died from autoerotic asphyxiation.

died from autoerotic asphyxiation

I was wondering if this would count as suicide from a theological perspective, my conclusion was it wouldn’t.

Initially, few of us at Ad Age thought the He Gets Us Jesus #SuperBowl ad was made with AI…it wasn’t. They are photographs shot by photographer Julia Fullerton-Batten, who has experience in the fine arts industry.

it’s really funny to me that there’s one group of christians spending a shit load of money on PR campaigns instead of the poor just for the christians they’re trying to say they’re not like to disown them, and go “nuh uh, we’re christians and we stand by all the fascist shit”
