The Commerical You Won't See During the Superbowl

NBC accepted, then rejected, this ad for tomorrow night's Superbowl. Makes me wonder what everyone is so afraid of?

sigh...but I'm not surprised.

indeed, and all juxtaposed very nicely by the promo for the Da Vinci Code sequel about 10 minutes into the broadcast.

Showed this to jim and his family and boys @ the superbowl. We are anti-obama, but thought the comm was awesome. Of course we know WHY this couldn't be aired, since it goes against obama's campaign lifting all bans on abortion. Oxy-MORON.

Probably not coincidentally, I saw an articel earlier this week that said Obama has asked a group of White House lawyers to pursue limiting the use of his image. The artricle didn;t mention this ad, but talked about all of the different magazines, papers and merchandise using his image. Still, I think it's likely that part of the motivation is the ability to sue the next group that tries something like this.

Wow, considering his use of armies of lawyers to seek and destroy Palin and others who come in his path, I wouldn't doubt it for a minute, Frank.

This man is really, really smart. Too bad about the lack of moral compass.
