Churchy the Church Mouse
(Filed under: Advertising)Advertising Icons are making news: Smokey the Bear, one of the most famous ad icons in history turns 60 today, and Advertising Week in New York City launched a promotional campaign featuring icons like Tony the Tiger and Mr. Clean in a run up to their September event that includes online voting for the favorite icon. Too bad they're don't have a least favorite icon poll -- I'd like to nominate Arby's oven mitt.
But with all this talk of advertising icons, perhaps the church should have its own icon?
Jesus would make a stellar icon, but the Messiah seems to be affiliated with generic spirituality. Plenty of people love Jesus, but they don't make it to church.
How about Churchy the Church Mouse?
Maybe elevate Psalty the Psalmbook to church-wide icon?
Maybe Fiery Fred, the flame of the Holy Spirit?
Or maybe not. Cheesy icons and almighty God don't seem to mix.
