The Most Annoying Ad on Television

There are so many annoying ads on television it’s hard to nominate the most annoying one, but I think the ads for ChristianMingle.com have the inside track on such an award. It’s not that I object to online dating services as such, though I have numerous reservations. (Fortunately I’m married and my children are married. Now to protect the grandchildren!) But the attempt to make using this service sound like the “holy” and “godly” thing to do just grates.

But Peter Enns managed a great quote last night in a digression from his review of The Bible on the History Channel:

Actually, the most troubling part of the evening was the incessant Christianmingle.com commercials. God can’t seem to get around to putting a stop to hunger and war, but he has definitely taken the time of subcontracting out to a website the means by which you can find your perfect mate.

Just so!
