Doritos Super Bowl Commercial Mocks the Lord’s Supper
Posted by Ingrid Schlueter in Persecution, Religion on January 4th,
2011 | 8 responses

At a time when the economy is in meltdown, it is difficult to imagine
why any company would deliberately offend the religious beliefs of
millions of customers, but that’s exactly what the bright lights at
Frito Lay have done with their ridicule of the Lord’s Supper in a
Super Bowl ad. Imagine this kind of mockery towards Islam during
Ramadan. Imagine the ridicule of Passover with a Doritos- themed
commercial, or a commercial mocking Hindus during Dawali. The world
won’t touch those religions, but Christ, as He himself foretold in
Scripture, is hated and reviled in this world. Here’s the story from
Fox News.

If the world hate you, you know that it hated me before it hated you.
If you were of the world, the world would love his own: but because
you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world,
therefore the world hates you.

~ John 15:18-19

P.S. Christians should make their buying choices accordingly. For more
on the controversy, see the Washington Examiner’s report.

I don't buy Doritos because I find the product disgusting.

I've done a little reading on this and the ad was supposedly not made
by the company, but was part of a contest and never made it onto the
finals.

Any news story that comes from FOX should be checked out in detail.
actually all news is suspect anymore but with FOX it has become bad.

Anyone have more links to this?

Here are the 10 that made it to the finals.

I tried to watch the Video and could not. Does anyone else have this
problem. The link goes to youtube not frito site.

http://nation.foxnews.com/culture/2011/01/04/doritos-ad-offends-christians

Maybe fox got the link wrong.

Anyone have any facts on this like what they video is called?

Sorry but that's not right. That's like not liking pizza.

I don't like them, too. Haven't had them in years. (come to think of
it, aren't they made from corn?)

Sensi:
I heard on the radio that Doritos are great for starting camp fires.
I haven't tried it but somehow they fuel the fire and it looks like more
ways than one from this heading.


Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything that
is beautiful, for beauty is God's handwriting--
a wayside sacrament. Welcome it in every fair face,
in every fair sky, in every fair flower,
and thank God for it as a cup of blessing.

- Ralph Waldo Emerson

On the other hand those new Kettle Cooked chips are addictive. Try
one and your family might wind up giveing you an intervention.

"We love you very much Daddy but no more Kettle Cooked chips."

There's no need to advertise them. They sell themselves.

After checking this out a little more the Video was called "Feed Your
Flock" and did not make the final cut of 10.

It was one of nearly 5000 or so received in the contest.

They have not decided the winner.

Top 10 are

The 10 finalist ads (in alphabetical order) are:

• “Adam and Eve” by Stephen Schuster (Doritos)
• “Birthday Wish” by Heather Kasprzak (Doritos)
• “Elevator Girl” by Michael Doneger (Pepsi MAX)
• “First Date” by Nick Simotas (Pepsi MAX)
• “House Sitting” by Tynesha Williams (Doritos)
• “Love Hurts” by Brad Bosley (Pepsi MAX)
• “Pug Attack” by JR Burningham (Doritos)
• “The Best Part” by Tyler Dixon (Doritos)
• “Torpedo Cooler” by Brendan Hayward (Pepsi MAX)
• “Zero Calories? Psshh” by Brandy Gill (Pepsi MAX)

It is not even a contender for a super bowl ad.

Also found this

http://tinyurl.com/283abja

"I work for Frito-Lay and wanted to clarify that the above-discussed
video was an entry in the Crash the Super Bowl contest where consumers
were asked to submit ads for Doritos or Pepsi MAX with the chance of
airing on the Super Bowl broadcast. The video was created by a
consumer and not Doritos or Pepsi MAX."

They rightfully did not use this and also. I can't find it on there
website. Hopefully they have removed it.

Do it looks like they have removed it from their website.

If the churches were literal about it then they would most all be in error
anyhow. A tortia chip is close to a wafer than a wafer is to bread.
