A few months ago, when the NFP vs. Contraception Vids were really popular CNA did a story about them. Obviously, I never knew about this...So, I figured I'd run their story and link to all six videos in case I have any new readers who didn't have a chance to see them the first time.
Saginaw, Aug 2, 2007 / 09:59 am (CNA).- A group of seminarians has joined the YouTube phenomenon and posted three one-minute videos on the Church’s teachings about contraception.Here are the Vids:
The videos, entitled "NFP vs. Contraception", are a take on the popular Mac-PC commercials.
The three videos have already had nearly 9,000 views combined. According to Nielson/NetRatings, the website has nearly 20 million visitors per month, with the dominant age group being 12 to 17 year-olds.
The actors are seminarians for the Diocese of Lansing, Michigan, Dan Kogut and Jeremy Meuser.
Kogut, who mimics the cool Mac personality in the popular commercials, plays the part of “NFP” and represents the Catholic position on sex, sexuality and natural family planning. Meuser impersonates the PC personality as “Contraception”. Eddie Dwyer, a seminarian for the Diocese of Saginaw, wrote the three skits.
The seminarians decided to make the videos while at the Institute for Priestly Formation in Omaha, Nebraska, this summer.
“Eddie definitely had evangelization in mind with the skits, but we also just thought it would be fun to do and that people might get a kick out of it,” Kogut told CNA.
The seminarians’ videos join hundreds of other pro-life videos are posted on YouTube.

I definitely enjoyed these the first time around, when I saw them at IPF. Didn't know Eddie had his hand in this as well, though. Neat.
