my two cents on the big ol; focus on your OWN damn family

ad and cbs on superbowl sunday

i don't give a flying fuck and neither should you EXCEPT for (as the article linked below says) cbs' DOUBLE STANDARD

90,000,000 (i believe that's the figure i heard on the radio yesterday) watch the superbowl. they're watching it because it's FOOTBALL. they're NOT watching for a focus on your OWN damn family commercial. i don't care how many football players and/or their moms make commercials. they can eat soup or they can espouse close-minded, my god or your burn in hell FOREVER, beliefs. no one gives a fuck. people DO watch the superbowl for ads. ads with funny animals or babes with big breasteseseseseseses. that sort of thing.

if ANYONE thinks this tim dude and focus on your OWN damn family can stop a woman's right to choose, they're sadly mistaken.

get over this. let them run the ad. oh, i'm pissed cbs isn't allowing OTHER ads (a gay dating site i believe was one of them although i may be wrong there). so, i'll show my displeasure to cbs. NOT for airing the focus ad, but for NOT being equal to others

oh and tim's mom HAD A CHOICE. i want our children TO HAVE A CHOICE TOO

Planned Parenthood Posts Pro-Woman Ad, Putting the Pressure on CBS

AlterNet / By Liliana Segura

With Super Bowl Sunday only a few days away, the fight over Focus on the Family's overtly anti-choice ad featuring University of Florida quarterback Tim Tebow is raging.

With Super Bowl Sunday only a few days away, the fight over Focus on the Family's overtly anti-choice ad featuring University of Florida quarterback Tim Tebow is catching on. On Tuesday, Planned Parenthood released an ad of its own, featuring Olympic gold medalist Al Joyner and former NFL player Sean James defending a woman's right to choose. The online ad, which has gotten some 45,300 views on YouTube, steers clear of that particular phrase (let alone the word "abortion"), but it does present an effective rejoinder to Focus on the Family's "Celebrate Family, Celebrate Life" theme.

"I want my daughter to live in a world where everyone's decisions are respected," says Al Joyner.

"My mom showed me that women are strong and wise," says James. "She taught me that only women can make the best decisions about their health and their future."

The Planned Parenthood ad came out just as it was reported by Dana Goldstein at The Daily Beast that, according to a Focus on the Family spokesperson, not only did CBS agree to air the Tebow ad, it "has actually been working closely with CBS executives for months on the ad's script."...........
