1. Dear Super Bowl advertisers

If there are any plans to place abortion ads in the Super Bowl Sunday festivities celebrating MY Green Bay Packers, then here is how it is going to be.

I have a DVR. I will simply run a 10 minute delay and zap ALL commercials. I repeat, ALL ADS GONE!

Now let's get that petition going to the advertisers who don't want to see their millions gone for naught.

Don't fuck up my football game. I will get angry and you wouldn't like it when I get angry!

3. I'll be watching the Packers in the SB also, zipping at 3 X normal speed past all ...

... the commercials, challenges, halftime and all the other annoying delays .

We'll time it at our house so we watch the end of the game just about when the DVR catches up to real time.



Now, let's take care of the Giants Sunday afternoon in Lambeauuuuuuu Field.

4. It's who's not on the list

NY, LA, Chi

I wonder why?

[RockaFowler]

5. Their primary dates

It's all based upon the 45 day rule

Before 45 days out the stations can pre-empt him and he has to pay higher rates

Here in Florida, we are lucky. I don't have to see this filth

6. So my granddaughter will become a baby producing machine

support all the kids, pay healthcare for the kids, save for her own healthcare and save for her retirement (should she live to retire). She need not bother to go beyond high school it won't be needed. God forbid she have a miscarrage, she will have to learn how to pass around the unfortunate fetus for hugs and kisses from all the siblings.

9. Remember when Dr. Tiller was killed in Kansas?

This jerk made public statements about how Tiller was a mass murderer and he was afraid Obama was going to crack down on the anti-choicers because he'd been killed.

He's a real nasty piece of work.

If I were in a region where his ads were going to run I'd make it a point to not watch any of the advertisements and I'd let the network know that was my plan.

On edit: To add some perspective here's a snippet from where he announced this plan a year ago.

Veteran anti-abortion activist Randall Terry says he's mounting a Democratic primary challenge to President Obama in 2012, in part to be able to run graphic TV ads showing aborted fetuses during next year's Super Bowl.

Terry, who founded Operation Rescue, unveiled a campaign Web site this week, including three prototype 30-second videos he wants to air during the 2012 NFL football championships and throughout the Democratic primary next year. The videos, narrated by Terry, show bloody and dismembered fetuses following abortions.

<snip>

"I want to pummel Obama. I despise this presidency. He is the arch child killer of the Western Hemisphere, so I'm going to go head-to-head with him," Terry said in a phone interview.

"My ultimate goal is to make child killing illegal again. And for child killing to be made illegal, there has to be a crisis of conscience; we have to show the victims like we show the Holocaust victims and say never again."

Looks like he's gonna get his day in the spotlight after all.

12. It was shown in the Boston market

on Sunday, the 9th, during the 6:00 news hour!! The station ran a so-called disclaimer, which was very mild, and about 5 seconds long. Parents are complaining that the didn't have time to even pick up the clicker, or get the children away from the TV.

The station has posted an explanation on their FB page that they were required by the FCC to show it, and they had no choice.

I say BULLPUCKY!! They certainly had some discretion at least about what time this piece of crap was shown, and didn't have to do it between 6:00 and 6:30 pm on a Sunday evening.

It really is beyond disgusting, and "graphic" doesn't even come close.

Oh, and as far as him being a Democrat, I want to his web site and saw him claiming that he is running on the Democrat ticket. So decide for yourself....Sounds like a plant to me....that or even the Republicans don't want him.

14. These two things are related

They have to run the ad at 6PM BECAUSE he is a presidential candidate.

The only reason he qualified as a candidate somewhere was that if a TV station runs ads by one candidate, they have to allow others access to the same slots on the same terms. That's why he became a candidate. He is isn't actually running. He wanted to exploit this FCC rule.
