Focus on the Family Super Bowl ad

And email I received from Care2.  I will boycott the Super Bowl should they show Focus on the Family's ad.  I'm very disappointed in CBS.

In the past, CBS has denied other organizations, like MoveOn.org and United Church of Christ, the chance to get their word out during the Superbowl because the network considered their messages to be too controversial. But it seems its definition of "controversial" has changed. CBS approved an ad by the ultra-conservative group Focus on the Family, attacking a woman's right to choose.

Demand that CBS pull this controversial and disrespectful ad from the Superbowl line-up >>


The Superbowl is the most-watched television program in the country -- a prime opportunity for anti-choice groups to broadcast their idea that a woman doesn't have the right to make decisions about her own body. What's worse is CBS has no plans to run a pro-choice ad to balance both sides of the issue.


CBS's decision to run the anti-choice ad is biased, unfair and unethical. Tell CBS to cancel the Superbowl ad from Focus on the Family >>






Thanks for taking action!

That's wasn't Wendy's...they have a bit more class than that. I think the ad was for Carl's Junior.

I will probably watch the Super Bowl. I will probably change the channel as soon as that commercial comes on. What I find strange is that if a poll were taken I doubt Tebow would be that high on the list. He ain't all that.

Have you seen it? If so, do you have a link? If not, how do you know it is not offensive?

Well, in my opinion I could care less what commercials they run. When did we start picking and choosing what commercials are deemed "proper" or "right"?? If they have paid their money, and the network accepts that money, then let it ride. To boycott the Super Bowl over something like this makes no sense to me personally. You all can turn the station as much as you care to....I'm gonna eat me some real spicy chili, drink plenty of ice cold beer and watch Peyton Manning destroy the Saints DB's......that's what I'm talkin' about!! Oh, and I have already put in for a vacation day that following Monday.....just in case a commercial or two offended me and I need an extra day to recover.

Like I said I will probably watch the game. I could care less about what Tebow has to say. I do love some of the commercials.

I was watching when Janet Jackson had her, "accident". To be honest, I didn't think it was that big of a deal. As a matter of fact I didn't really see anything, or I guess I should say, it just didn't register in my brain. My son called me about all the "News".
