I like these

Since the days of Tom McElligott agencies have been doing edgy ads for various churches. Some are good, some are great and some suck.

Which, I guess is pretty much like any other kind of advertising.

I found these ads for a synagogue in Germany on I Believe in Advertising. I've actually never seen an ad for a synagogue before. (Of course, I've never actually seen a Hungarian before either, but I know they exist, so perhaps these are not the first of their kind -- just the first I've seen. ) They are kind of cool though.

The JPG for the one about "follow a jew" is "stalk", which I think is funny.
