When will the idiots at the COB get it?
The public DOES NOT CARE about you wackos!
Have a barf bag on the ready and go watch this drivel:
http://www.LDS.org/ldsnewsroom/v/index. ... 6f620aRCRD
Moonies! Ha!
OMG!!!! OMFG!!! OMHHFG!!!
The chubby female host says the Book of Mormon "is the HISTORY OF THE PEOPLE ON THE
AMERICAN CONTINENT"
OK, who would like to count the ridiculous number of times these two fools say "church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints"?
A Freudian slip by the English chap about visiting the local chapel to get to know the members:
"If you want to get a feeling for our faith, go to a Sunday meeting. One thing you will notice right away is that we are great at shaking hands."
It the breaks to a commercial for the International House of Handshakes.
Then they skip around on the whole Jackson County issue.
in my opinion, this supposed broadcast was a PR FLOP.
What do you all think?

Hi PP
I watched this yesterday, my thoughts are that I hope they keep doing this. I only hope that they quit cherry picking the questions that get asked. Put it out to the public and let people like me and you ask questions...live. Get some GAs on the program, let's open the debate wide open. I would imagine it like having MAD live and on video. If they do this fairly and honestly it will be worse on them than the internet ever thought of being for for them.
I predict that this is something that will not happen often except in a very and I mean very controlled situation.
Just my $0.02.

"We don't claim that our church is the fastest growing church. We are very careful not to do that."
Of course not. We just like to quote the National Council of Churches a lot: “the fastest growing church [of] over a million members in this country is the Mormon Church, the Latter-day Saints, with headquarters in Salt Lake City, which is growing at five percent a year, [and] that’s a very rapid increase.” (

The man has a very nice English accent and he sounds more international.

Looks like they are taking crib notes from scientology now. Who else thought this seemed like something scientology would produce?

I agree that the news conference is silly, but do you have to behave like a little snot when you respond to it?

Port speaks true.
Here, let me say it in therms Mormons can understand: I saws it in my magic stone while it was pressed to mah face in mah dum dere hat. Whysizit testified through da spirit of Democrat Christ person.
Is this all the church can pay for since they lost the more prominent PR firm?

I hope you're not saying that it's perfectly mature to draw attention to the woman's weight.

Im saying its pretty useful to judge the caliber of the budget it took to produce this one off of a local car commercial.
Why don't they just do a 30 second spot and at the end have an over the top voice yelling "SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY! MONSTER TRUCK RALLY!"
With apologies to british folk

I guess its cheaper to buy a Limey than it is to buy A hot chick. Hmm, bet the brethren were hesitant for couch auditions this time around.
