Wrong target audience, or proselytization?

Um - they just ran an ad for a Christian rock music album during a Venture Brothers ad break...

It wasn't Cartman's "Jesus + 1" was it? THAT would have been appropriate...

And don't worry, despite the fact that Hank and Dean are apparently killed at the end of the episode, the show will be back with 13 new episodes in 2006. Maybe Doc Venture clones them.

Don't you just love Doctor O? He just wants to be a good father, when he's not sending rednecks into some unspeakable hell.

It would, wouldn't it? I'm still trying to figure out why Christian rock music doesn't work, given that Christianity has inspired some pretty cool music (gospel, plainsong, Sacred Harp etc) and rock is, pretty much by definition, rocking. I did hear some years ago about a gay Christian punk band, whose motto was "if Jesus can save our nellie asses, imagine what he can do for you!" Now that sounds like it would rock.

And yeah, I found Dr. O quite charming, esp. his relationship with his blasé goth daughter (who sounds rather fond of him under the veneer of teen boredom).
