Surprise! Superbowl Anti-Abortion Ad

If sitting around with your parents when the Viagra commercial comes on wasn't awkward enough, now this.

PS- would a mod please fix the grammar in the title?

[speedeast]

If they wanted to choose a prime-time for politics, I guess that would be it. I'm totally against the commercial airing, my $0.02. But on the other hand, me watching a television commercial isn't going to alter my pro-superbowl mind-state. And everyone else should be able to ignore it as easily as me.

During the superbowl, I like funny beer and toilet paper commercials, exhilarating new car commercials, and suspenseful new movie commercials... that's about it.

[themadscientist]

Boycott the superbowl then. Show ABC you don't respect whores by turning it off.

Title fixed.

Agreed. Poor taste on the part of ABC to air this commercial during the superbowl and I say that as a Pro-Life person. It will do more harm than good. The whores who get abortions have no respect for themselves and know full well what they are doing when they do it.

Again, I lol'd.

I've watched part of the AD and it does have a valid message but again the superbowl is the wrong time and place to air it.

[speedeast]

Instead of $2.5 million on a commercial, why don't they distribute $2.5 million worth of contraceptives? I'm pro-practical! (if that makes sense)

[bigbadberry3]

Well CBS decided not to air another controversial type of ad during the super bowl

Come on CBS some of your actors are homosexuals.

tell us how you really feel.

I hate to break the news but when you're paying that much for a 30sec spot you can air anything you want within the FCC guidelines of course.

When I was 18 I worked in the booking office at a live concert venue in Hollywood called the Whisky A-Go-Go. there was a sticker on the main booking agent's desk that said "Your mom can play the Whiskey of she sells 50 tickets for $5/ea." As sad as it sounds that one sticker woke me up to a whole world of cynicism.

If you click on my second link about the gay dating website, they offered cash for the advertisement to CBS but were promptly declined. Obviously CBS has some agenda here, if they are turning down large sums of cash.

Further proof that what Tebow wants, Tebow gets.

Well, except for that last championship. f*** you 'bama, f*** you!

Obviously they didn't offer enough, in the advertising world anyone can be bought.

Q: What's the difference between a Florida fan and a puppy?

A: A puppy isn't still crying a month after you beat him.

How's Lane Kiffin working out for Ol' Rocky Top?

[BusyBadger]

I'm not a native here, so I'm not UT fan. I'm from Indiana, so I'm used to less than stellar football teams (and recently basketball teams too) coming out of Bloomington.

It's interesting seeing you resort to misdirection when you get called out for being a whiner. I expected better from you.

But, back on topic...

Boycott the superbowl then.

This is what anyone that has a problem needs to do. Vote with your dollar. And let ABC know you what you have a problem with and why. It's easy to have an opinion, it's harder to stand behind your principles.

It's football, all one has is misdirection! What do you want me to do, present a detailed flow chart explaining the difference between Gator fans and puppies? Call Urban up and tell him to get off the drugs?

And I wasn't whining, peterpuffer.

And I'm glad ABC still has a choice in what to take money from. Pretty soon that'll be legislated out of existance, too. f***in' PC. Oh, I'm sorry, am I whining again?

[srellim234]

CBS is airing the Super Bowl. CBS is making the decisions as to which ads to air and which ones not to air. Why exactly are you guys talking about boycotting ABC if they have nothing at all to do with the broadcast????

[Urabus GodofTraction]

We've been PWNED! I blame the OP, his link is from ABC.

Wow. I have no interest in a debate, but those are some pretty strong words from someone not old enough to drink.

Not my fault you didn't read . . .

[JustinStrife]

Don't like it, don't watch it. No one is forcing you to sit there and watch commercials. Welcome to Capitalism.

[dusred]

You and Charlio should get a room. Have you ever been part of an abortion debate here on Nico? . . . Oh, I didn't think so.

[Crazyirish]

He would at least have to take me out for dinner first.

As far as what debates I've been involved with, well, not really sure what that has to do with your comments.

[dusred]

I feel very strongly that abortion is murder and I've gone into it in previous threads. It's not a very pleasant discussion.

Is there an certain age limit required to talk about abortion?

By the way, TMS called them whores too? So since he's married and old enough to drink does that make him qualified to call them whores?

I had no idea...

I wasn't implying you weren't old enough to talk about abortion. I was implying that your comment was childish. And I think TMS called ABC a whore. Of course my limited experience with NICO discussions means I may have misinterpreted that.

How do you feel about Whataburger, hot stuff? I like their chicken biscuit with a little honey on them. We'll steal some extra honey packets, too, for when I take you back to our cheap motel room.

Stop this dirty talk. You're getting me jealous.

I don't know what kinda guy you think I am, but I can assure you that you are wrong. It's going to take at least a 20oz Porterhouse for me to drop trou.

You don't need to drop trou to blow me.

HAA!

I dunno about that.

After seeing him in action@ the NFL combine, he should should probably rub that magic lamp and wish for the following:

Some footwork, an arm, and a throwing motion that doesn't resemble an ex-President tossing out the first pitch at a Brewers game.

Man, he's nowhere NEAR NFL-caliber. Weaksauce.

BTW, Roll Tide.
