He seems like a really cool dude. Hopefully this video will reach some Mormons.

Obligatory link to Mormon scandals.

Why the hell are Mormons running commercials anyway?

They took a PR hit post-Prop 8. Now they're running ads trying to convince themselves that they're normal. This ad is our Ex-Mormon response that campaign.

Oh. I didn't know about the prop 8 thing, I just assumed they were sick of being made fun of on South Park

It took him long enough to get to the point!

And he never really said WHY he quit the church.

The obvious rebuttal would be "I'm still a Mormon and I do all those neat things."

I think it's a lousy ad.

It is a direct parody of the ads on mormon.org that are playing in 9 US cities.

I was wondering that too.
Was there a time limit on the ad? It seemed to just end immediately after the ex-Mo reveal rather than giving the viewer time to let it sink in. Also since the title reveals him as an ex-Mormon it seems strange to conceal that information for the majority of the video.

I think they take a little too long to get to the "ex" part. He seems to be praising the Mormon missions for a while.

Well, until the last 30 seconds it's not clear that it's not one of them. That's what I'm saying.

So sorry. Once down the dark path you begin, forever will it dominate your destiny.
