Video: The obligatory fan-created Doritos Super Bowl ad mocks Christian rite clip

Foxs Megyn Kelly Hosts Doritos™ Versus Catholic Church Debate
Beloved munchie product Doritos has declared war on the Catholic Church- or so some devotees are interpreting their latest commercial, which depicts priests substituting the crispy corn snack for the Eucharist, and giving a sort of Doritos Communion. The ad, produced for the Super Bowl, didn’t quite make the cut,  but that doesn’t mean it’s not riling up the faithful. The idea for the ad, as Megyn Kelly explained to her audience on America Live today, was that the Church...

Does 'Psshh' mark the spot for Super Bowl glory? Orlando man hopes so
"Psshh" – pass it on. You might help an Orlando man get his commercial featured during the Super Bowl. Brandy Gill made a commercial called "Zero Calories? Psshh," and it's now one of 10 finalists in the Crash the Super Bowl Challenge. The Psshh spot cost $30 to make. Gill, 36, directed his co-workers over a lunch hour, and co-worker Wes Sumner shot the commercial. "It took about an hour to shoot, and we did the editing in an hour on my Mac," Gill said. "Start to finish, we were done in t...

Doritos ad: 'God obviously has a sense of humor, he gave us the Democrat party'
"God obviously has a sense of humor, he  gave us the Democrat party," quipped Lars Larson, a syndicated radio host and Fox News contributor. Larson took the shot at Democrats as he slammed  a Controversial Doritos ad that is taking heat for allegedly mocking the  Catholic Church, being anti - Christian. Megyn Kelly made the point that if anyone did an ad, like the Dorito ad, mocking Islam, there would be a deafening outcry from the Muslim community.  In the ad, a priest is ag...

Happy Hour Vid: Is Doritos Mocking Christians? (The Atlantic Wire)
WASHINGTON, DC – Produced for the Super Bowl, Doritos debuted a fan-created TV ad featuring a pastor who gets parishioners to go to church by handing out Nacho Cheese flavored chips as communion bread (as opposed to the traditional thin wafers) and Pepsi as wine. The ad apparently has raised some eyebrows, Fox reporting it as "Controversial Dorito Ad Accused of Mocking Catholics" (though it's not immediately apparent that the ad is mocking Catholics rather than Christians in general*) an...

Frito-Lay won't pull controversial Christian parody Doritos commercial
Source: Washington Examiner In what may be another ad campaign gone awry, Doritos is featuring a new Super Bowl advertisement in which a priest, searching for ways to return to the church, has a supposedly brilliant idea: Replacing the host wafer with a Dorito. While the denomination of the church is unclear, what is clear is that most Christian denominations consider the host to be a big portion of communion and might find the commercial, titled "Feed your flock!", insensitive. A spokesman for ...

FTF?
Are Pepsi and Doritos mocking Christianity? Frannie Boyle of the Student Free Press Association has the story: One of ten finalists in their Super Bowl commercial competition entered a blasphemous little clip called “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 under...

Liberals are completely deluded about Islam in Britain and the existence of sectarianism
The English Defence League in action (Photo: PA) Liberal Conspiracy has a post playing down a story about conversions to Islam, one which almost perfectly encapsulates the liberal delusion over Islam: But more striking is the generational change the survey reveals. While 76.3% of people say they were raised as Christians, only 43.7% of people now identify as such. The real story, when it comes to British religion, is the number of people converting to godlessness. And while 2.3% of people were...

Key To The City: My Super Bowl Dilemma
I hate football. Not really, but the Giants are giving me no choice. Two weeks ago, I asked for three things for Christmas. I asked for the Yankees to produce something that resembles a starting rotation that can compete in the AL East, the Giants to make the Playoffs and for the Knicks to land Carmelo Anthony. The Giants were eliminated from the Playoffs on Sunday, and the Yankees are thinking about bringing in Jeff Francis or Jeremy Bonderman to round out their rotation. Carmelo might as well ...

Blasphemy and Betrayal: The Murder of Salman Taseer
Anna Bigelow is Associate Professor in the Department of Philosophy & Religious Studies at North Carolina State University. "You are free; you are free to go to your temples, you are free to go to your Mosques or to any other places of worship in this State of Pakistan. You may belong to any religion or caste or creed—that has nothing to do with the business of the State." Would that Jinnah had survived longer (he died in 1948) to secure that principle in Pakistani society. Instead, t...

'Allahpundit' Complains About 'Blasphemous' Doritos Ad
At Right Wing blog Hot Air, Allahpundit complains about a “blasphemous” advertisement for Doritos. (Yes, really.) Even to an ex-Catholic like me, it feels cheap. Blasphemy in defense of principle, like free Speech, is welcome; blasphemy in the service of humor can be fun. Blasphemy to sell bags of Cool Ranch chips? Eh. Even to an ex-Catholic like yours truly, it’s insanely ironic to see someone who uses the name “Allahpundit” whining about “blasphemy.” H...

Assassination shows extremists' sway
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan, Jan. 5 (UPI) -- The Assassination of Punjab Gov. Salman Taseer is another example of the determination of religious Extremists in Pakistan, experts said. "This shows how the religious Extremists want to impose their agenda to terrorize the society," Pakistani Minorities Affairs Minister Shahbaz Bhatti told The Washington Post. Taseer, one of the most liberal leaders to speak out against the country's harsh Blasphemy laws and in support of women and religious minorities, was ...

The real blasphemy
However, the police initiated an investigation of Bibi, not her attackers. She was arrested and prosecuted for Blasphemy, under Section 295C of the Pakistan Penal Code. She spent more than a year in jail. On Nov. 8, she was sentenced to death by hanging; she has since filed an appeal. There is a need for broad legal and social reforms in Pakistan, and it can start with the Repeal of this law. But the Assassination Monday of Salmaan Taseer, the Governor of Punjab, by one of his official security ...

Pakistan Needs Courage from All Its Leaders
