A humorous take about God in popular culture

It is discussed in "Eyes Wide Open" by William D. Romanowski at one point that television and movie producers sometimes go after an audience that is religious because they are the most common people to watch a particular genre of movie or television series. This applies more to movies but something I thought about while surfing youtube the other day was the other side of things. What about Christians on youtube going after those that are not of that faith? Going after on either end sounds a bit harsh, considering I am a Christian it is a bit more harsh sounding for me to say that Christians are going after anybody. What I simply mean is that they target a vast audience with their videos and it has a very positive effect. Most of the videos I found as examples were humorous interpretations of Jesus such as the Vintage 21 Jesus series but sometimes if you can get people's attention with a funny video it can lead to other things like checking out the youth group because they look like they could have a lot of fun. Now I am also not saying that this was their goal but hey it couldn't hurt to use it as a ministry opportunity. So without further ado I present to you a key example of the opposite side of the entertainment spectrum, where Christians take the action. Hopefully this might also inspire you to laugh because it involves none other than talking cats and patty cake. I won't explain any more you'll just have to see for yourself what I mean. Here it is.
