    Brutally Honest Advertising.... No, Really.

    How absurd a tenet is this, which holdeth that there is some particular worship of God allowed, and not commanded? What new light is this which maketh all our divines to have been in the mist, who have acknowledged no worship of God, but that which God hath commanded? Who ever heard of commanded and allowed worship?

    Let us, then, as we would show ourselves to be godly, keep close to the rule of worship, and in the things of Jehovah go no further than we can say, 'It is written'.

    Very funny. It was probably shot on a sound stage with actors somewhere in Los Angeles.

    Actually no. Two guys, Rhett and Link, are internet comedians who (among other things) make intentionally bad commercials for local businesses. You can watch some of there stuff here: Rhett&Link: Internetainment
