What will the christians think of next?
BrilliantEditor and I were watching a movie tonight. At the end of the movie an ad came on television. It was a movie about a dog named Quigley. Quigley is a fluffy, white pomeranian. Gary Busey is in this movie. If you don't know Gary Busey, he's a kook. He acts crazy and quite possibly is crazy.
So when the ad came on and it was all silly and saying things like "moral values" and "Gary Busey is a white, fluffy Pomeranian who has died and now must go back and make things right" I thought it was a joke.
On the commercial they're offering a DVD for sale, then they sweeten the deal with a Quigley stuffed toy. The family indicates that it's their new favorite. At the bottom of the screen it says something about non-toxic materials. You also get a full-size color poster advertising the movie. And an activity pack which has a coloring book and a bunch of crayons called Quigley Colors.
Then they said, "2 easy payments of 14.95!" I thought it had to be a joke. But there was a website. http://www.quigleythemovie.com.
If you go to the website, you can watch a version of this commercial under TV special. Also sneak a peak at the movie trailer. This is totally freaky! I think I might need to watch this movie. I'm going to look on NetFlix and HollywoodVideo sites to see if they carry it. I don't want to get put on the FBI's list of weird-o people who purchase Christian videos and belong to left wing organizations, so I won't buy it. Plus it's thirty dollars. For a one-time viewing? It needs to come with popcorn and treats.
