Halleluhaj in Southwest Airlines ad offends listener
Q: An ad of Southwest Airlines on a local radio station plays an excerpt from the Hallelujah chorus of Handel’s Messiah. It is a universal fact that the Hallelujah chorus exalts Jesus Christ as the King of Kings. Therefore, as a Christian, I find its use in an ad to be extremely offensive … Can you please give me the address of Southwest Airlines to which I can write to express my protest. – Beth
