Remember, as I stated when I posted the cover, this thing is for a church.
So this is the inside of the mailing. You open it up, and there’s this huge downpour of sweetass electronics and goodies you can get by attending their Easter service. What can you win?
1) A car! A CAR! Okay, a 2009 car, but still a damn fuckin’ car.
2) 46” flat-screen! So, uh, you can watch… Ben Hur on it…?
3) Apple iPad! Celebrate the death and resurrection of our Lord and Savior with a game of Angry Birds!
4) $500 Walmart gift card! Seriously, Happy Easter.
5) HP Laptop computer! …this should probably be a wee more specific.
6) etc etc
It goes on. There’s bikes! Video games! FIFTY THOUSAND CANDY-FILLED EGGS! The World Harvest Church is launching single-handedly a War on Easter and with no outside help whatsoever IT IS WINNING.
Oh, and I guess shoved down near the bottom is an image of a guy praying, because there’s a Good Friday Service.
…a good Friday Service where you will be sowing your resurrection seed.
I have a new euphemism.
Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves. “It is written,” he said to them, “‘My house will be called a house of prayer, but you are making it a den of robbers.” -Matthew 21:12-13
I’m just saying.
90’s advertisements sure are stupid.
Holy Crap.
Might just read Battle Royale again…
Not to mention oil companies can benefit from the knowledge that people will be buying less gas on a certain day :/Contrary to what’s stated above, there was no nationwide “gas out” in 1997. None. There was one in 1999, and it did generate a fair amount of media attention, but it didn’t cause gas prices to drop 30 cents per gallon overnight — in fact, it didn’t cause gas prices to drop at all. Despite the popularity of the chain letter, the 1999 “event” attracted few active participants and was completely ineffectual.
It was a dumb idea 10 years ago. It’s a dumb idea now. You still buy the exact same amount of gasoline but on a different day. If you want lower gas prices, everyone must use less gas.
