Australia's Christian TV Ads

How I've managed to be relatively content throughout the last couple of decades without seeing the Australian Christian Television Association's commercials is beyond me. They are fucking AMAZING. Here's my top three.

Is Christianity in Australia different from the rest of the world? Do pockets play a paramount role in belief? What's the deal with the mouse? These were the initial questions shooting through my head after finishing the video.

After digesting for a bit, I think the answers are yes, yes, and Jesus. I'm not 100 percent, but I believe the pockets represent the Holy Trinity, and that little mouse popping out of the middle is Jesus. Or maybe the Holy Spirit or God, one of those three. If I'm right, it seems entirely possible the symbolism may have been lost on the commercial's target audience. How catchy is that song by the way?

This one's my second faves. Can't believe this is who they got to represent the church. There is no way that guy hasn't told a little kid his dick was a microphone. Just found his website though, and it's actually sort of awesome.

That is the dumbest prayer/song I have ever heard in my life. The prayer is actually about the reason that it sucks so bad. Praying about not having anything to pray about? God doesn't have time for amateur hour, kid. Not when there are people out there spiritually screaming at him.
