10:47 on a Wednesday night
I just saw a commerical during the late-night reruns of MSNBC political talk shows. It shows inspiring and sensual clips while a narrator recited something that I think of as rather lovely: "It's light; it's day; it's night; it's chocolate; it's touch; it's rain; it's joy; it's suffering; it's... life."
By now, I'm curious to see how this will end. What is the point of this artsy commercial?
My curiousity issatisfied--and horrified-- at the end of the commercial, when a bright logo for Scientology blazes across the screen. followed closely by a phone number for the headquarters.
How do I react to this? Honestly, I feel rather sullied. A "religious" group that is based from science fiction and has snagged several big name personalities just ran an add on national tv. I count it in with the commercials for Dial-a-Lawyer and free time shares, and I change the channel.
What am I left with? A thought that considering how much celebrity money is flowing into the organizaion, no wonder the camera quality was so decent, and how are people fooled by that?

Yikes. Sometimes, when I feel the most weirded out by Scientologists, it makes me feel better to think that they are actually (like) proactive English majors who were just tired of not living in their favorite genre.
