So K and I are sitting on the couch watching some of our many recorded back-episodes of Good Eats when on comes the episode, Raising the Bar, about cocktails. It’s interesting enough, but what to our wondering eyes should appear but an advertisement sponsored by “The people of the United Methodist Church”. (edit: not just an ad, a statement saying “this show is sponsored by the United Methodist Church.”) I laughed hard.
I have no disrespect for the UMC, as I was baptized and confirmed in the UMC and have attended at least 4 or 5 different United Methodist churches in my life, but a cooking show about mixed drinks doesn’t seem quite like the sort-of thing they’d want to be associated with. They even serve grape juice at communion.
Maybe it’s an outreach to us poor inebriated TV drink mixing types.
I still think its funny.
