Comedian Lori Callahan is not getting rave reviews for her video mocking the current "I'm a Mormon" campaign, the appropriately titled "I'm NOT a Mormon."

"To me, it feels like a cult," Callahan says of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, explaining that the sketch was designed not to respond to the current ad campaign, but previous experience working in comedy clubs in Utah. "If you're not a Mormon, they treat you horribly."

But maybe that's all you deserve. Says Brad:

If I owned a club in Utah, I would treat her poorly too, because a bbitch is a bbitch and should be treated as one...even in Utah.
