I'm disturbed by the amount of advertising I see on Cartoon Network for the 2-CD set "Worship Together: I Could Sing of Your Love Forever." It's a lot. I used to see it a lot, months ago, and then I didn't watch Cartoon Network at all for about 10 months...and now I turn it on twice in the past two days, and I must've seen that same ad, that I saw 10 months ago, at least four times.
I'm just moderately disturbed, is all.... In the spirit of Christmas (the God stuff, not the "spendspendspend"), I'm not going to freak out, or speculate on ulterior motives, or get into tinfoil hat territory.
Go with God, child.

Please note that in the past few years since they started playing those ads regularly, the Christian Right has shifted their attention away from cartoons and television, moving on to video games.
"You sure you aren't comfortable playing our shit-ass advertisement 57 times a day? After all, it'd be a cryin' shame if there was suddenly a public outcry against Samurai Jack, and I'm sure our ad will have a... calming effect on those crazy masses."
