Hank Hill has a News Flash for LifeTeen Groupies

via the tNP forums:
"Can't you see you're not making Christianity better, you're just making rock n' roll worse."

Very sharp take on the jesus market. Somewhat fortunately, I managed to avoid my parish's youth group during my high school years, and thus all the transparent and shallow gimmickry.



One friend who has LifeTeen Groupie friends has commented that the advertising industry spends billions to nail down exactly what buttons to push to get people to commit their dollars to their clients' products. Shoestring Budget youth ministry shouldn't even try to compete in that area. Not that that stops them. Jesus is not our Ad Executive, though often we would like him to be.
