I kept waiting for the rebuttal commercial featuring some grief stricken father who would tell the tale of convincing his wife to go through with her pregnancy when they had the same diagnosis only to watch his baby anguish in pain until it finally died in her arms and then she went crazy and took an overdose of pills a month later.
Never saw it though.

Well, it's not nice to tackle your mother... or old ladies.
I don't really care, but I HATE Focus on the Family so much! |

Feminists are "NOW" pissed-off over the violence in this commercial. They say that Tim tackling his mother promotes violence against women.
from Terry O'Neill, president of NOW:
"I am blown away at the celebration of the violence against women in it. That's what comes across to me even more strongly than the anti-abortion message. I myself am a survivor of domestic violence, and I don't find it charming. I think CBS should be ashamed of itself."
No statement issued about the violence against Betty White in her commercial.

wow the left needs to pick their battles a lot better... (speaking from the left) this was a rather uneventful if not thoughtful ad.
"waaah they shared their beliefs and wanted to share it in order to convey the message that theirs is right and others are wrong! " |

Nothing offensive from what I saw. It was certainly better than the POS moveon.org sneaked into the 2004 Super bowl via the Local TV Slots. (They did this after CBS Refused to carry their Ad.) Many Advertisers, knowing their Ads contain offensive material will do this because the Local Stations don't have the money to take on any Legal Challenges the advertiser may toss their way if they refuse to carry the Ad. This is why you see things like "ED Pill' Ads aired during Childrens Shows!
(It was during the 2004 Super Bowl I began questioning WHY was I paying for the "Priviledge" of watching TV, you all know what I did three years later!)

Yeah, you're right. Although Planned Parenthood didn't have the money to run an ad during the Superbowl.
This is the second time I can think of that CBS (not sure if it was the Superbowl) refused ads of a more liberal bent. |

Actually, Faith, the radio show specifically mentioned that this ad opened the door for Planned Parenthood, and others of that ilk, placing ads in the future. And not just about abortion, but other issues as well.

Yes, but apparently only their side of politics. |

My local AM talk station in Los Angeles got a copy late last week and played it one time. They played interviews about it before playing the ad spot. Even then, it seemed "much ado about nothing", as ThreadKiller mentioned earlier.
But as the host mentioned on the radio show, after playing the spot, it opens the door for more political spots (in the Super Bowl) in the future. Blah! |

eh.
because of the uproar about it, I expected something along the lines of 'Unlike the godless liberal heathen Democrats, I chose to keep my baby!' wouldn't have surprised me in the least if it had been something like that. |

Advertising is a racket, like the movies and the brokerage business. You cannot be honest without admitting that its constructive contribution to humanity is exactly minus zero.

They just said "Time runs out on the first half." Did Tebow do that?

Why did his mother, after choosing not to abort him, then name him "Time"?
Odd.
