Stirring the pot again, the United Church of Christ, the church that, earlier this year, ran ads mocking other churches showing a bouncer who refused entry to minorities and gays is planning a new ad. The first ad, “Bouncer,” part of the $3 million “God is Speaking” campaign, was refused by ABC, NBC and CBS. The church promises the second ad will be in the same vein as the “Bouncer” ad.
