Focus on the Family re:Tebow: $2 Million for 30 seconds of TV propaganda while Haiti is in anguish
Edited on Thu Jan-28-10 03:29 AM by Bluebear
THERE are your "Family values" on display, conservative America. How much food, how much relief could that money have provided?


Furthermore...as NBC sports writer Mike Celizic points out: "And so we get an anti-abortion ad by a homophobic organization during the biggest sporting event of the year. At a time when we’re all sitting together watching the big game, we’ll have another reason to argue and yell at each other....

Thanks a lot, CBS. Hope it’s worth the $2.5 million.

CBS will still have standards, except they’ll be based on money and who’ll be upset. Focus on the Family can run its ad because everyone likes Tim Tebow, and the anti-choice agenda is buried underneath the feel-good story of the kid who wasn’t supposed to be born but grew up to be a hero. But neither they nor any other network will take an ad from an atheist group whose message is there is no heaven, no hell and no god. That would tick off the paying customers.

This makes me wish an atheist organization would do just that. And if not a Super Bowl ad, maybe one college kid could be persuaded to write “There is” and “no God” on his stripes of eye black. Either that or “Allahu” and “Akhbar.”
