ummm Nintendo isn't advertising Jesus, it's a church that is using Nintendo's patent/trademark/copyright (without permission i'm sure). the title is misleading.

oh yeah but a good Mii though.

Cute, but extremely misleading news item. Actually, it's not even up for interpretation: Nintendo is not promoting religious advertisements. I enjoy this website, but please be a bit more responsible with what you tell your readers.

Hey if u want to post something the option is for u to do it. but just make sure you don't post something that's already been posted... you should read the rules

pretty cool.... if it makes people stop and look .... i say good choice

And screw the blasphemous crap.... it's not doing any harm to anyone... the church must have thought about it and not come up with one single thing wrong with it thats why they ended up using this ad

I say good on them if it gets people to come... that's what advertising is all about.... toget the point accross
