8. This pissed me off at first, but then again...it SHOULD piss off Xtians
The news story I first heard on air sounded very sympathetic toward the Christian, or so I thought. It pissed me off, too. But the marketing people are the ones with the angle here, and not the Christians. The people running the program were very matter of fact about it...they are simply hitting on another demographic, another niche market. They didn't give a rat's ass whether they were hawking Jesus bobble heads on Christian Night, or whatever. It actually sounded as if they were almost mocking the Christian groups for how easy they are to market to. Basically, throw together any group activity like a baseball game and send a bus to pick them up and they'll sign up in droves.

The Christians should be the ones pissed at how they are being mocked and used by the marketers.
