If all the ad does is tell the Tebow family's story, then it's obviously not political. Neither is the gay dating ad - CBS just deemed it inappropriate because of its content, which is so sexual in nature that it goes beyond what Nip/Tuck is willing to show. The whole thing was an extremely clever move by the dating site to get free publicity - they intentionally made the ad so that it would be rejected and so that complete morans would have pointless debates about it in threads like this where they compare it to the Tebow ad even though there are rather obvious reasons why one was accepted and the other rejected.

to recap

gay dating company = succeed

lozen = FAIL

Come to think of it...if Planned Parenthood was smart, they would have submitted a Super Bowl ad that featured Ruth Bader Ginsburg eating a dead fetus, and then had lozen et al RUSHING to their defense in this thread when CBS inexplicably refused to air it.

It's totally irrelevant. Let's go back to where this tangent started.

The "but when you weigh it... the choice becomes clear" implies that if you choose one over the other you're implicitly saying that the one you neglect is not "a human life". Or it's just a total non-sequitur.

Just showed the ad. What a bunch of hot and bother over nothing.

Tebow ad had absolute zero for anyone to get their panties in a bunch over imo.

Edit for "Super" slow pony

What a gyp, not even controversial.

lol it was so non-controversial that I actually didn't even notice it even though I was (distractedly) watching for it

lol @ planned parenthood

also lol @ the ppl who ponied up millions for that, how totally pointless

I agree, it was a stupid ad, but not controversial. There was really no need for tim to tackle his mother.

Lets invent another controversy. The tackling part of the ad was a fruedian scene, relating to an oedipus rex complex.

OMG CBS ENDORSING DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

CBS: FOR DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, AGAINST MEN KISSING OTHER MEN

DOWN WITH CBS

I dunno, all the press that Focus on the Family got for only 3 million? Sounds like a good deal to me.

wonder if the ad had been edited from its original to be the vanilla one we ended up with. because as we mentioned, utterly uncontroversial.

I don't really get how FoF needs press, they (and more importantly their positions/ideas) are well-known and get tons of press already, but whatever.

The amount of press they got for a measly $3M, even if they get a ton of press is well worth it.

well if that's the case then the amount of press the gay dating company got for $0 must have REALLY been well worth it

Agreed.

All those silly groups protesting THAT ad accomplished was looking stupid and giving the ad way more attention than it ever would have gotten otherwise.

Mission Accomplished IMO

I'd do Tebow's mom.

That was the ad that pissed people off? Wow.

Would have been better if she said "don't abort your kid...they may turn out to make you rich one day."

lol nice

Um, something can't be non-controversial when it generates a controversy.

Does anyone think this clip validates the old rumors of Urban Meyer assuring Jevan Snead that he was recruiting Tebow as a Linebacker?

Tebow plowed his mom?

they dont even mention the word abortion in the ad. What a bunch of hooplah over nothing. I'm sure 60% of the audience didn't even realize it was a pro-life ad.

Its seems the ultimate contradiction to say there is an objective set of moral criteria and then subjectively and exclusively apply them to a group of non sentient cells which is what a fetus is objectively.

Subjective morality is set by the objective conditions of human existenz, e.g. Existence is the seperation of being and object. We have to get past the idea that moral relativity is somehow less robust or worthwhile than an objective morality. In our subjective morality our humanity can find its highest expression, if morality was objective, being moral would make us no more than automatons obeying rules.
