NOW SHOWING AT A BLOG NEAR YOU: THE WORLD NEEDS HEROES

Like myself, some of you may have already seen this ad, but a hat tip goes to Love2learn at the Movies for the heads up on the story that it will actually get some theatrical showings.

"The NYPRIEST Theatrical Trailer will be shown in select New York theatres to promote the  NYPRIEST Campaign. The aim of the campaign is to build up a "Culture of Vocations" in the Archdiocese of New York, to increase awareness of the diocesan priesthood and to draw young men whom God is calling to respond generously to service in the Church as Priests after the Heart of Jesus Christ."

More info can be found at NYPRIEST.com.

that's really interesting that they would campaign in this style with the commercial and the Gladiator music playing in the background.

Thanks for posting this.

I think it's pretty tasteful, and a lot less likely to draw jokes than the poorly thought out sexual predator coloring book campaign. I'm hoping someone out there will see it and post on the audience reaction.

Given my tastes, though, I would have loved for them to use That Time Is Now for the background music. That's the reworked Superfriends theme Cartoon Network used to play during their commercials.
