    Oh, wow. Other than one tongue-in-cheek meme I posted right after the Rexodus, I completely forgot HGU was a thing.

    Just think of how many hungry families could be fed with the money they’re spending on a Superb Owl ad.

      My first thought was, meh I don’t want to watch that crap but I don’t watch the superbowl so more power to them. But yeah that Billion dollars could have been used to house the unhoused or provide help to the migrants at the southern border that we are apparently getting invaded by

      :(

      I bet more people would be Christians if Christians followed Christ.

    It’s weird there aren’t more “He Gets Us” parodies. Like, obviously you could do one with Satan, but what about a guy who makes custom vibrators and sex toys on etsy? Or maybe the reveal is that it’s a kidnapper, and all the people are subtly asking for help, like that episode of the Twilight Zone with the psychic boy. “Sometimes, I feel like I don’t hve control over my own life, and I just want to break free. but He gets us… He always gets us.”

    Jesus, who asked his followers to throw away all their worldly wealth, would be so happy he was being promoted by a billionaire.

    The motivation behind the He Gets Us campaign, according to Green, is a desire to reshape public perception of Christians: “What we’re known as, as Christians, we’re known as haters,” he said in a podcast interview last year. “We’re beginning to be known as haters — we hate this group, we hate that group. But we’re not. We are people that have the very, very best love story ever written, and we need to tell that love story. So, our idea is, let’s tell the story. As a Christian, you should love everybody. Jesus loved everybody.”

    There are few things more disturbing and hateful than Christian Love.

    Wait… does that mean we can take out anti-religion ads?

    I mean, if you try to do that to Islam it’s a hate crime, but maybe we could get away with it targeting a paler demographic
