Rob Bell Too Sexy For My Church

Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008

Rob Bell, pastor at Mars Hill Bible Church, presenter in the Nooma audiovisual series, is taken to town for a ride in Zooma, a spoof performed by Steve Gray of Steve and Kathy Gray Show.

This was the video that got Steve and Kathy banned from GodTube. The senior pastors of World Revival Church of Kansas City (formerly The Smithton Outpouring) have cut out a niche in spoofing the excesses or potential hypocrisies of the Christian churches in the United States. Of course, now that their work is booming on YouTube, the couple themselves are vulnerable to the same ego-related excesses faced by any high profile speakers and writers.

Rob Bell is author of Velvet Elvis: Repainting the Christian Faith, and Sex God: Exploring the Endless Connections Between Sexuality And Spirituality. He’s known for his tours of the United States: Everything is Spiritual, and The God’s Aren’t Angry.

Bad Vicar by Mitchell and Webb

Monday, March 24th, 2008

David Mitchell, Robert Webb and Olivia Colman star in the “Bad Vicar” sketch from the BBC show, That Mitchell and Webb Look. The skit is part of an ongoing series in which Mitchell plays the dark and cynical man who has replaced the friendly woman in the restaurant, the church…

See more of their skits online at BBC and on YouTube.

I wrote up these guys on their Get A Mac campaign for the UK at Duncan’s TV Ad Land in January 2007.
