FROM THE "YOUR MONEY IS NO GOOD HERE" FILES

Someone forwarded me this from some source called Studio Briefing. Actually, I really hope this is just one more urban legend spam thing. But I'm going to take a chance and reprint it here. Clearly, for Viacom and NBC, just being Christian makes you inappropriate for the public airwaves.


Church Ad Rejected by Networks

Viacom's CBS and UPN networks have rejected a paid public service announcement by the United Church of Christ in which an announcer says, "Jesus didn't turn people away. Neither do we. ... No matter who you are, or where you are on life's journey, you are welcome here."

In a statement, Viacom said: "Because this commercial touches on the exclusion of gay couples and other minority groups by other individuals and organizations.
..and the fact the Executive Branch has recently proposed a Constitutional Amendment to define marriage as a union between a man and a woman, this spot is unacceptable for broadcast on the networks." NBC has also rejected the ad as "too controversial," the church said.

In a statement, the Rev. John H. Thomas, the church's president said that it was ironic that "an ad with a message of welcome and inclusion would be deemed too controversial. What's going on here?" The ad was accepted by Viacom's black-oriented BET cable network and its Nick at Nite channel as well as by ABC Family, Fox, Hallmark, and many Turner Broadcasting channels.

Barb - it's real. I've seen it on tv and in the Christian television community, it's a real hot topic. No one has contacted the Christian tv station that I work in Las Vegas to run it, but I've heard others around the country have been contacted. Some stations are running it, some aren't.

Barbara, you've got part of the story, once you see the whole ad, I think you'll agree that it may have been wise of them to pull it, but not for the reason they claim.

The ad insinuates that other churches "bounce" people based on homosexuality or race, (which it lumps together by association), but the offense is not in the acceptance of homosexuals (the christian principle which the viacom statement seems to be scared of). The offense is in the farcically made claim that other churches are obstinately apposed to the mere presence of homosexuals and non-whites.

Jimmy Akin has a good post on the issue, check it out.

See your Successes
by: ways to make money from home

It is important to have an understanding of money.
Keep a journal where you can see your successes when
it comes to saving money. This is a difficult task
and takes time to learn but worth it. By keeping a
list of the situations or ways you have saved money
in front of you, you will be encouraged to keep going.
These successes can be small or large. For example,
if you normally buy your lunch, costing you from $5.00
to $7.00 per day and one week straight you packed your
own lunch for $3.00 per day that is a success. If you
wanted to buy a new dress but held off until it went on
sale, saving 50%, that is another success.

Make a list of current monthly expenses,to see if you can afford to pay the mortgage.
plan how long you want to live in house

lovecris16 said...

For First Time Home Buyer a home is best valued if all the things including the pricing goes right but pricing or negotiation are not the only things that matter in home buying,the buyer should also be prepared for making the decision as it is important.Though it may not take much time as the buyer can get all the relevent information about the prospective home from various sites online but he should spend some time to be best prepared so as not to run pillar to post at the last moment during decision making.

Help me Dude, I think I'm lost..... I was searching for Elvis and somehow ended up in your blog, but you know I'm sure I saw him in a car lot yesterday, which is really strange because the last time I saw him was in the supermarket. No honest really, he was right there in front of me, next to the steaks singing "Love me Tender". He said to me (his lip was only slightly curled) "Boy, you need to get yourself a San Diego cosmetic surgery doctor ,to fit into those blue suede shoes of yours. But Elvis said in the Ghetto nobody can afford a San Diego plastic surgery doctor. Dude I'm All Shook Up said Elvis. I think I'll have me another cheeseburger. Then I'm gonna go round and see Michael Jackson and we're gonna watch a waaaay cool make-over show featuring some Tijuana dentists on the TV in the back of my Hummer. And then he just walked out of the supermarket singing. . . "You give me love and consolation,
You give me strength to carry on " Strange day or what? :-)

So I settled down into my office and started doing some web surfing. Anyways I am in the process of grabbing my associates degree and have spent the last 6 months researching card credit fixed rate. In the middle of my browsing I landed smack dab in the middle of your blog. I hope you do not think I am invading but I must say it is great blog. Even though your blog is way off base from card credit fixed rate I found myself cruising through your blog archives for the last hour :0) You have some nice blogging friends. Anyways, I need to get back to my mission. I wrote down your url and feel free to visit me here at card credit fixed rate. I am so busy so I can only update my site weekly. Keep up the awesome work.

This method is a no-nonsense, set it and forget it system, which will virtually run on 100% autopilot. People just like you are earning enough money to quit their jobs within the first month.
