In comparison to our usual conversations about nipples, beer, and WTF moments, this is a first. Let's see how it goes.
(12:24:33 PM) Curt Baker: interesting ad

(12:25:51 PM) Erin Lamberty: wow. yeah.
(12:26:46 PM) Curt Baker: like, im totally pro choice
(12:26:56 PM) Curt Baker: but even i was like....damn(12:27:53 PM) Libby Issendorf: not gonna lie, it's really good. it puts aside the morals of it, which is usually their downfall(1:10:03 PM) Erin Lamberty: wow, they even win on their site with just the video + comments + sign up + share options + donate http://www.catholicvote.com/
Not gonna lie, I would probably burst into flames if I walked into a church right now, but this ad for Catholic Vote is the first pro-life/pro-choice spot that takes a step back from the standard moral emphasis and highlights an example that is relevant for everyone in America (and the world) right now. I'm not sure how this message, or any other PSA related to such beliefs, can actually impact someones morals, etc but at least they're doing something different. Their site is decent as well. I love the clear focus on the video and comments. Maybe they took a hint from the Pope?
We'd love to hear your thoughts!
