CBS may have opened their hearts, minds and bank accounts to advocacy groups for airtime during the Super Bowl, but it has also rejected two ads that contain themes that don't meet the network's "Standards and Practices department" requirements. Not only did they reject an ad for the gay dating website ManCrunch.com, but they have also kicked off an ad from the hotbed of notorious advertising that is GoDaddy.com, which has a similar, how you say, je ne sais quoi.
Check out the GoDaddy ad that you won't be seeing during the Super Bowl below. Warning: the following video contains a sensuous looking woman in a very revealing outfit, so those of you who were expecting the usual amount of big breasted women taking their tops off in a GoDaddy commercial might be more than a little disappointed.
Everyone keeps saying CBS has is allowing more ads from advocacy groups -- groups being plural rather than singular -- but is there any ad being aired other than the Tebow pro-life ad? If so, I certainly haven't heard about it.
What's worse is now the news that Mrs. Tebow would never have been able to get an abortion, as it is illegal in the Philippines. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't lying a sin as well? Oops....
I just want to watch some good football and revel a little in the spectacle of the Super Bowl. Why does CBS want to preach at me during this time? Is a little entertainment too much to ask?
And while we're at it, where's the NFL during this? they have tight controls on ads featuring ads Las Vegas. But politics is ok?
ManCrunch I kind of get from an S&P vantage -- even if I don't agree with it -- but this one has me baffled. What is objectionable about this? Disney Channel shows are more offensive than this ad.
