If you go to "etrakz.com", you'll see that it's a free Christian Evangelism banner service. You put some code on your web page, and a random banner advocating Christianity pops up. I've noticed these banners on macosx.com, too.
In fact, as I write this reply, there's a Tide-Bleach-ish banner above which reads: "Amazing Grace. Oustating Cleansing Power Removes tough stains of sin forever."
(Which, I have to admit, is kinda clever)
Personally, it makes me feel a little weird, but I won't complain too much, as macosx.com is a free service.
Hey, companies advertise to spread their message, and religions advertise to do the same. And although I dislike commercialization of ANY religion, it happens. Whatcha gonna do?
It is odd though... if this were "ChristIsMyBuddy.com" few would complain. However, as a bunch of Macaddicts, we're the "artists, creative" etc - types, and as a result, have a diverse mix of people... everything from devout Christians to people who worship the God of Cheese (me
)
Usually we do a good job of respecting each other on a personal level. Which is good.
... and I know one thing we all have in common. We know the difference between all that is holy (Macintosh) and all that is evil (Windows).
So... my thoughts... it's a bit odd, maybe bothers me a little, but I'm not going to complain too much.
Thanks for listening.
btw, Is there a BuddhaBanner.com or something like that?
