Update 4:33 pm: The “Feed Your Flock” ad is not a top ten finalist for the Super Bowl advertisement; an earlier version of the post said it was a finalist. The ten finalists can be seen here.
Pepsi and Doritos could have been walking a thin line in this new year. Check out one of ads submitted in their Crash the Super Bowl advertising contest by Media Wave Productions, “Feed the Flock.” In the commercial, a parish priest decides to start distributing Doritos and Pepsi products instead of Holy Communion in order to increase mass attendance.
This commercial is not meant to be taken seriously, but I hope those running the competition understand how many Catholics and other Christians will be offended by its message. This young crusader will be abstaining from Pepsi 0 from now on (I never liked Doritos much).
They would never get away with making fun of the Islamic and Jewish religions. When it comes to the pinnacle of Christianity, though, it’s no bother.
