I just saw the United Church of Christ commercial
that NBC wouldn't air, on The Travel Channel. Good for the Travel Channel. For those who don't know, UCC made a commercial showing a bouncer in front of a church turning away a gay couple, among others. A voice over said "Jesus didn't turn people away".

3. I'm in Memphis
It's possible the commercial has had more play around here, but have TiVo so I zip through a lot of commercials. We were watching World Poker tournament live rather than recorded though, so we couldn't zip.

6. Saw it
On my local Fox affiliate. I don't know if it was Fox in general, or just the affiliate however.

8. Rocks doesn't it
response I got from them a while back:

Dear Michael: Although our names are similar, we are much different from the Church of Christ, and are in no way affiliated with them. We support your feelings about separation of church and state, and we are "radically inclusive" in our churches, believing that our welcome mat is out for all people. Thanks so much for your support of our ads, and for writing, Tina Campbell
