How to piss off the Catholic Church

[SzczerbiakManiac]

Björn Borg (yes, the former tennis star) just launched a dating service (http://www.bjornborg.com/en/Love/). (I have no idea why) As part of the promotion for that service, this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=alllxxM6vBE) was produced.

I happen to think it's awesome, but I suspect Herr Pope and his red-adorned cronies won't be particularly pleased by it. :evil:

I saw that video last week, but had no idea it was to do with a Borg dating service. Do I have to be ordained to sign up?

[Ghoulish Delight]

That's awesome. Dugg.

[Kevy Baby]

That is blasphemous! I mean, who would be believe a female priest!

[Strangler Lewis]

. . . a Borg dating service.

For Trekkies?

Love that commercial!

I initially didn't think was really a dating service. I thought it was a viral campaign designed to raise awareness about marriage equality, because it seems it's just the kind of photo-upload feature we do a lot at work. Put your photo in an existing video... that kind of thing.

So inspired by the commercial, I put in info of a man seeking a man, and they don't have a two-man video, only a man and a woman. They put in an apology at the end.

Armed with puppy eyes we offer you our deepest apologies for making a film in which the two people loving each other are forced to appear to be of opposite sexes. Bjorn Borg strongly resents any type of conservative or judgmental attitudes toward anything that has to do with sweet lurve. In short: please forgive us! (The truth is we just couldn’t afford to shoot three different versions.)

So surely it's not a viral anti-8 campaign. It seems you can "chat" with the random person they fix you up with, but if it's really a dating site, it's the worst one I've ever seen (and I met my husband on one; I've seen a lot.)

Still, terrific commercial.

Incidentally, I can think of many many more ways to piss off the Catholic Church.

"Mary was only a virgin if you don't count anal."

Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene, but Peter was a better lay.

Oh, I like this game.

When he said “this is my body” and commanded you to eat it “in memory of him,” he was using a new-fangled figure of speech called a METAPHOR.

[Isaac]

What is this ?

Blood of Christ.

.....(sips) .....Whoa! He musta been an alcoholic !

[Kevy Baby]

If Jesus died for my sins, I am going to make it my life's goal to make sure his death was not in vain.

Love it.

Oh, I like this game.

When he said “this is my body” and commanded you to eat it “in memory of him,” it probably never happened.

Fixed it for you. Denying the substance of the Jesus story every happening seems to get to people faster.

Or, if I need to do it in one word, I just lean close and whisper "mythology."

[Melonballer]

What are you doing? That is the Baptism Font, not a Urinal!

Should I fix your typo too or leave it and mock you?

Ah, I guess I've chosen ;)

[Alex]

Yes, it is a typo. Not sure what the mockery is, though, since either you read it the way I intended or it simply doesn't make any sense.

Be born Jewish.
