Prepare To Believe

Earlier today, I was minding my own business (in my field - making the daily rounds through the mograph community), when lo 'n behold, I practically tripped over this reference to our great city:

TV spot for Creation Museum [2007] . 
Direction, design & animation by Todd Hemker & Soyeon Kim at Yellow Shed.

To be honest, I'm posting this because of my ambivalence toward the video's renewed prominence out there in the world. Specifically, I was surprised to see this showcased on No Fat Clips - not because it's an inferior piece (Hemker & Kim really have a nice aesthetic goin' on) but because I think the subject matter really ruled the decision for the posting.

And honestly, nothing wrong with that either... but, you know, it seems that a lot of things holding the kindling for fiery debate seem to hibernate in/near Cincinnati, and for better or worse, national attention propels this subjectivity (usually negative) in outsiders minds. [Without linking directly to the negativity] Politics, sports, crime, infrastructure, art, religion, etc., all seem to have been touched in one way or another by the hand of the region's Bible Belt conservatism.

King of Kings Statue (Solid Rock Church), Monroe, Ohio. 
A can't-miss structure on the north side of Cincinnati (I-75). 

Anyway, because I value my own soul, I'll remain neutral here (except, I'm sure you've already deduced my lack of empathy towards 'creationism' - add this and this to the debate). As the saying goes: "Don't talk religion or politics at the dinner table."

O-H-I-O... we've got spirit, how 'bout you?
Found this on my search for a photo of Solid Rock's giant Jesus...
Why not a chuckle or two on the way to inner earth.

• In all fairness, here and here are a couple of views on the Museum (with posts of the same title). Might be worth the $20 to check out...
