The Bleeding Edge of Christian Entertainment
What? What? It is so Christian entertainment.
We have the theological issue: Tom Cruise is a Scientologist (although, unlike those pesky Christians, he keeps his beliefs to himself and never foists them upon the public).
We have the cultural relevance: the ukulele that all the kids are so into these days.
We have the self-conscious religious iconography: isn't that a shamrock on her shirt? That's a hidden symbol of the Trinity! Oh, wait, no it says "visit beautiful" -- same thing.
When they finally accept my application to be the station manager at TBN, I swear I'm going to open and close the broadcast day with this video. And wear powder blue polyester every day.
