Nothing against Methodists, but I just saw the strangest ad for the United Methodist Church:  A kid takes a kite into a flat area, writes a note (presumably to G-d), sticks it in the kite, and lets the kite out as far as it can go, then brings it back down and reads the note again (which presumably contains a response).  Then there's the tagline "Believe Again."

Not so sure about their ad agency.

There is an ad for a church here that starts at the velvet rope of Club Church (or something like that) and they won't let the gay couple, the hispanics, and other non WASPs in.

Then they cut to their church and say "you are all welcome here"

I saw that and thought WTF? I don't get it.

One of the ads are there...it shows people being ejected from their seats because their kind is not welcome at the church.

Here is the Velvet Rope Bouncer Ad:

Holy Crap!

Have you seen the new version of the roped off church commercial?

It's a church with ejector seats.  People sit down and they get shot through the roof.  It's fucking awesome.

In 2002 (I think), when The Two Towers came out, the "turn off your cellphone" commercial before the film was a guy talking on his phone during a movie who got ejected out of his seat and bounced off the screen before hitting the ground, followed by polite applause.

Wonder if it's the same ad agency.
