Focus on the family is currently running an ad campaign pn MY TV!
It's called 'Thanks Fred' and is about white heterosexuals (mostly male) thanking a guy called Fred for all the good he did as a member.

[Edited to fix link - Dave W.]

Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
Carl Sagan - 1996

Another reason to tax the churchs just like any other business.

But isn't it somewhat telling that threads of other people's sexual behavior are woven through most if not all of their programs?
