Mormon-Centered Advertising

When driving through Utah, and Utah county in particular, you see some billboards for some services that you will see nowhere else. Here are a few examples:

DearElder.com
This site will let you send free letters to missionaries who are in training at the Provo MTC - the Missionary Training Center (sounds like a military installation, doesn't it?). this is where they learn the languages that they will need if they will be going to a foreign-speaking mission. This site will also let you send letters to missionaries anywhere. Ever heard of it?

Well, you will now! They are picking a new face for the website!!! Be sure to nominate your elder today! I guess the two years were up for the last guy???
MissionaryStandups.com
I just found this site while checking out DearElder.com - this site will let you make a life-sized cardboard cutout of your beloved missionary. Hopefully they can make the face area moisture-resistant for the love struck girlfriend customers.

Now that I think about it, isn't the website name an oxymoron???


Lastly, for today at least, is ModestClothes.com. I can't remember if this is the exact site that I saw advertised on my last trip through the most republican county in the most republican state in the nation, but it is certainly close. I was thinking that there is a limited market for many of these sites, but ModestClothes.com has categories for many different... er... "creeds" as they call them - even two categories for Christians - "Plain & Simple" and "Trendy & Modest" I didn't see the FLDS category on this site... They have their own: http://fldsdress.com/
