Is it even possible anymore, with all those skinny flat screens?

Of all the places to engage in sexual intercourse, on the TV would be among the least comfortable. Even then, I'd worry about cracking the tv or having to use windex on the screen afterward.

No matter how coarse TV becomes, it will have absolutely no effect on people whatsoever.

That'll be $200K to show your 30-second commercial.

This is a good point.

The Church should start spending all its money on TV commercials. If we simply broadcast righteousness over the airwaves, people will be compelled to do good, just as they are allegedly compelled to do evil now.

I can't wait for that first Ward Building Cleanup commercial during the Superbowl. People will be lining up to help out.

Great point! I've never heard a church commercial before.

You mock, but I'll have you know that it was from one of you people's commercials that I learned that honor is the stuff from which heroes are made.

I told the truuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuth!

Was my point that the Church has never made a commercial before?

Please expound.

You arent good at the rapid-fire stuff, are you? You are more in your element when you have time to craft a nuanced response.

The Church went through an era of really dark media in the 70s.....many of the commercials and short films focused on very negative things...family members dying, old people being alone, etc....

There is one film that is famous in the mission field.....a small boy loves his mom, she was his best friend, etc...one day he comes home from school, there is an ambulance in front of his house....he goes inside. His mom is there on her unexpected deathbed. She dies right in front of him. Then we are treated to a montage of single-father shots...the dad cooking dinner for the kids, the dad getting the kids ready...in all of them the mom is conspicuously absent.

At this point in the film, everyone in the audience is always crying. At the very end of the filmstrip, there is an announcement that everything is ok because Families are Forever. The filmstrip ends and we would tell everyone that they were crying because they felt the Spirit....even though for the 12 or so minutes of filmstrip, the only gospel message was presented in the final minute or so, well after everyone was already crying.

I think missionaries have since stopped using that filmstrip.
