Archbishop of Canterbury's stunt double has acting debut

File under shameless corporate promotion parading as humor. Still ... it is kinda funny.

T-Mobile has concocted a spoof of the royal wedding that trades on the current trope of the seemingly impromptu wedding-processional dance-off.

Stills from the set of the stunt reveal just how much of a dead-ringer Rowan Williams' look-alike is.

Given the post immediately preceding this one, about how one corporation (Apple) seems to have the brass ring of outright religiosity, perhaps it's too heavy-handed to make much meaning of this one. Other than that it seems to be commanding eyeballs for the past few days.

Kinda? I fall over laughing every time I see the "ABC" dancing down the aisle - and hope to see the real one rocking out more often.

Yeah, that's how we always did weddings in my parishes.
