Protestants have been desperately trying to be relevant for a while — now the Catholics are too:

The shamwow guy should go and be forgiven for beating up that hooker.
“That *almost* baptised feeling” LOL!
I guess that if christening is similar to a bath, confession can indeed be assimilated to a short shower…
Keep up the good work!
Ah, a Catholic Vince. Does that mean that there’s a Protestant Billy Mays?
Is this real? I honestly can’t tell.
Oh yes it’s real http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rF-kiHp2FPY&NR=1
But… but… but… but that makes little baby Jeebus cry for not taking teh Bibuh serious! Waaaaahhh *runs away in horror*

Wow.
Hysterical and nearly unbelievable, though I can see their dilemma. I haven’t gone to confession since I spent 20 minutes with Sue F. in a closet at a h.s. sophomore party.
Even my sainted mother doesn’t go to confession anymore, and she is one of the church’s biggest supporters.
At least it’s clever. Gotta give ‘em that.
Give your brain that fresh, washed feeling! :)
Ye gods! I lasted only 10 seconds of this drivel, and now I’ve got a headache.
How fitting this is a ripoff of SHAMwow.
I was strongly tempted to make a really insensitive joke about the difference between priests and Vince the ShamWow guy…but I couldn’t bear the shame which would inevitably result.
I wondered if the buddy Jesus statue is waiting for me at the church.
Looks like this guy’s not a real priest… just an actor. Here he is in some health products commercial:

Yes, it’s real.
Here’s a news report on the ad campaign.
FWIW, I agree with the priest who was interviewed insofar as it is important that humor be an element of faith (if one has it at all). Faith without humor would be soul-crushing.
“Faith without humor would be soul-crushing.”
Makes me think of my favorite line from the movie Perdition Road:
“Why do you smile all the time?”
“Because it’s all so f***ing hilarious.”
Errr, “Road to Perdition” I meant.
I love that movie.
I think this soulwow guy is going to go out and punch an alter boy.
I was thinking the same thing.
