CBS makes me want to boycott the Superbowl
February 1, 2010 | Filed Under Feminism, PoliticsCBS is full of shit! CBS is airing an anti-choice ad from Focus on the Family during the Superbowl, even though in the past, CBS has rejected ads from MoveOn.org, PETA, and the United Church of Christ because they were too “controversial” and they have a “no advocacy” policy. But this year, CBS is airing an ad produced by the ultra-conservative, anti-gay, anti-choice, and anti-birth control group Focus on the Family. The ad FEATURES TIM TEBOW (football fans love him and his little religious sayings under his eyes!) and his mother because she didn’t have an abortion when she was very ill and advised by doctors to do so. So, apparently they changed their “no advocacy” policy.
Oh wait, they didn’t. Guess what still is too controversial, or too much advocating? A gay dating site ad from Mancrunch.com. Here’s the ad from Mancrunch that they won’t air:
So showing two guys kissing isn’t okay. But telling women that they shouldn’t have the right to choose even if their life is in danger because ONE WOMAN chose to have her baby who turned out to be a Heisman trophy winner is just fine. F THAT S!
And maybe also boycott the Superbowl. I may do that.
