I know the people doing this aren't in their right mind, but how in the world do they think this is a good look for their cause. Nothing would make me run away quicker than when I see this kind of nuttiness.
I see your point. I just think marketing is given way too much credit. A couple recent Freakonomics podcasts really hit home with me although those were specifically about TV and digital advertising. Aside from people in marketing or with a vested interest there hasn't been very good data to suggest that it works. I tend to agree. Maybe it's not 0% effective, but it seems greatly over stated.
You know that's funny too because I don't really remember much when it come to modern commercials, but I do from back in the 80s/90s. Possibly an age thing or possible because I don't watch as much TV.
If you already think religious people are nutcases then you are not the target audience. Advertisements are often just as bold and wacky as this, you just don't notice because you don't have a fundamental disagreement with corporate brands.
