For Lent, Hobby Lobby and #HeGetsUs should give up making self-righteous feet-washing commercials

The Jesus Super Bowl ads made a mockery out of a solemn Easter tradition, treating the marginalized like criminals and dissing the humility of Jesus.

Ads from the He Gets Us campaign. One says "What if we loved our enemes the way Jesus loved his?" with two men at church speaking. The other shows two boys at a urinal with one acting as a step for the other. It reads "Share moments of your kids showing unconditional love with #HeGetsUs."
