Fast Reply -

Anyone else find it strange that Super Bowl half-times and commercials can cause so much controversy?  A few years ago all that fuss over a nipple and now this.  And in both cases it's all about the female body.  hm.....[sm=cheering.gif]

I think the network should not air any sort of political ad.  Let the game just be entertainment and the various politicking points of view can have their say during regular programming.

As a Floridian and a Gator football fan... it goes without saying that you didn't get to celebrate too often as Tebow kicked ASS for his time at Florida....and the nation had better get used to the fact that the Gators will rule for some time to come... if you ain't a Gator...why you ain't nothing but bait....!

equal time should be given to both sides.



Well get out your checkbook, produce the commercial, and spend however many gazillions they are charging for two seconds of airtime.

LOS ANGELES - U.S. football fans will not see ads featuring scantily clad vegetarians or a political attack on President Bush during February's Super Bowl after CBS said on Thursday that advocacy advertisements were out of bounds on professional football's biggest day. The network, over the years, has rejected dozens of advertising proposals by advocacy groups, who argue that the network only airs controversial messages that it agrees with.

I can also understand, if not agree with, abortion when there has been rape or incest.


I have never understood how the value of "less" is placed on a child conceived by rape or incest.  I am pro-choice and I have never understood this.



I agree.. if one really believes that abortion is murder, it should be unacceptable to abort for anything less than protecting the mother's life... any other position really waters down the whole "abortion is murder" argument to being really all about punishing women for having consensual sex

Okay, now that we've seen the commercial, any thoughts?




tazzygirl -> RE: Tim Tebow's Mom. (2/7/2010 5:51:47 PM)

It wasnt shown here.

Will watch after the game and get back to ya [:D]




tazzygirl -> RE: Tim Tebow's Mom. (2/7/2010 6:51:57 PM)

Ok... Congrats Saints!!

Now that that is out of the way.. lol

I watched the ad. Very benign, non-attacking, and brought a tear to my eye. Beautifully handled, and i did not go to the web site posted at the end. I didnt want my view tainted by whatever may be there. This was about the ad itself.. and.. i can honestly say.. it was touching, endearing and well handled. I congradulate CBS for encouraging Focus on the Family to produce such a sweet message.

The words of the ad are listed as follows...

quote:

PAM TEBOW: I call him my miracle baby. He almost didn't make it into this world. I remember so many times when I almost lost him. It was so hard. Well he's all grown up now, and I still worry about his health. Everybody treats him like he's different, but to me, he's just my baby. He's my Timmy, and I love him.

TIM TEBOW: Thanks mom. Love you too.


Whatever the FotF web site contains is their business, and they can promote whatever they wish.




Level -> RE: Tim Tebow's Mom. (2/7/2010 6:57:47 PM)

Agreed.




Jeffff -> RE: Tim Tebow's Mom. (2/7/2010 8:01:18 PM)

Yeah, the add was rather innocuous. More like a mom being happy for her son.


shrugs


Jeff




DarkSteven -> RE: Tim Tebow's Mom. (2/7/2010 8:09:21 PM)

I agree.  A beautiful ad.  Unfortunately, while it was hilarious, you can't get the humor from the transcript alone.

It was nothing more than a come-on to visit the website.




thornhappy -> RE: Tim Tebow's Mom. (2/7/2010 8:12:08 PM)

I have such a profound dislike for FotF that I don't think I could make an unbiased judgment of the ad.




Jeffff -> RE: Tim Tebow's Mom. (2/7/2010 8:13:45 PM)

I don't like them either, but the add itself was no big deal

go ahead....click the link... I dare you!....:)

Yes he kicked ass, except when he lost and started bawling his little eyes out.

But hey, he has a future as a guest host when Glenn Beck goes on vacation.

That truly was offensive. I now understand why the pro-abortion side was up in arms.

.....ah, it looks like your vaunted predictive skills are a bit off.

So, come on, i'm looking forward to you blaming the liberals.




DomKen -> RE: Tim Tebow's Mom. (2/8/2010 12:23:15 PM)

I can see why CBS allowed the ad but following the link showed FotF's sole reason for producing the ad. It is repulsive and as is well documented a lie.
