CBS: Anti-Gay & Pro-Life (Super Bowl Commercial Controversy)

Posted on January 30th, 2010 in Funny Pictures,News Headlines,TJSky13 by TJSky

CBS denied a commercial for a gay dating site, Mancrunch, to air during the Super Bowl — they also rejected a GoDaddy commercial that shows a retired football player pursuing a life as a flaming gay fashion designer.

That seems prejudicial enough…HOWEVER…they are allowing commercials from “Focus on Family” — which carries an anti-gay and pro-life message.

The American Family Association has tried to defend CBS stating that the Super Bowl is a “family” show and children are watching. Parents shouldn’t have to answer embarrassing and sensitive questions about homosexuality at that time.

Yes, children are watching — as Tim Tebow gives his anti-abortion message…..The children will be watching a commercial about ABORTION!  That’s always a fun family conversation. Maybe they can manage to throw in a KKK commercial while they are at it.

CBS has a history of banning advocacy commercials. They’ve banned commercials that attack the national debt and they’ve banned commercials that promote the idea that God loves EVERYONE, no exceptions. This year gets them the additional attention because they are choosing to allow advocacy commercials that suit right-winged positions and deny all others. This is the first year that CBS has clearly taken a political stand.

People are calling for a boycott of the Super Bowl, CBS shows, webcasts, and so on. I want to know what you think? Will this affect your viewing habits of CBS shows, and if so, how?
