This may be the most successful of the early Super Bowl ads in creating a viral buzz – and a smile. With no sound but "The Imperial March" playing in the background, a small boy dressed as Darth Vader tries to use The Force around his home.

This ad was released five days before the game, and already has more than 5 million page views on YouTube. Volkswagen must be very pleased.

Why is Christian Science in our name?

Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that.

The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.

Here, you’ll find award-winning journalism not driven by commercial influences – a news organization that takes seriously its mission to uplift the world by seeking solutions and finding reasons for credible hope.
