TIM TEBOW AND ABORTION MAKE FOR POLITE REASONABLE CONVERSATION

Although I did find out that you can’t say [dismissive wanking gesture] on Yahoo, so this day hasn’t been a total loss.

Don’t Kill your baby! Unless he/she will be completely unathletic!

Defender of the Right, and “Me Too” Dept:

Ladies, this is America, where there is freedom of speech, even the kind that is not too popular.

But, I would much rather see footbaw without the political stuff. I hate those network promos too, with the “star” jackballs of TV shows I’m never going to watch interfering constantly with their smarmy presence. But, what are you gonna do?

Why not just recommend to Tebow and friends to spend the $2 or $3 million on Haiti instead? And, leave the commercials to babes fighting in bikinis over somethang beer-related. Chimps with British accents are pretty good too, my dear ’ol chaps, cheerio…

Airing a spot suggesting your baby could be the next Tebow only inflates to impossibility the expectations of the expecting, whose dreams are inevitably dashed during the adolescent years anyhow.

Be funny, be light, or be gone.

Didn’t anyone tell Tim that it’s VERY BAD to steal Jobu’s rum?

Dobson will sleep like a dead baby that night..

Please, COTG, I know I’m asking for a lot after getting the Saints to the [ALL EUPHEMISMS COPYRIGHT NFL, INC}, let them run this ad next to a GoDaddy spot…

Does anyone know what the approved script says?

You left out the bulldog’s and/or chimpanzee’s flatulence from the Bud Light ad.

The ad I’m really hyped up for this year, though, is to see if that sales-list company can top the chop-socky pandas spot from last year, which Mickey Rooney in Breakfast at Tiffany’s thought was in poor taste. I’m thinking Stephen Baldwin reviving Charlie Chan, or something.

WBE Jerry-

That sales list company used to be my do-gooder, socially responsible company’s corporate overlord. The reaction here in the trenches was stupefied horror. Thankfully we were acquired by another firm not long after.

“An ad that uses sports to divide rather than to unite has no place in the biggest national sports event of the year—an event designed to bring Americans together”

huh? sorry. i thought the superbowl was designed for everyone to make a shitload of money and for me to make guacamole.

Orson you’re 100% right. For instance when proprietors of football-related websites brings up his personal views on politics or religion under the guise of not talking about politics or religion.

I wasn’t able to find The Simpson’s “The Catholic Church: We’ve Made A Few Changes” but here’s the ZZ Top video it was based on: http://bit.ly/bq52Ut

I want Tebow to play the nerdy gas station attendant who get repeatedly sexually harassed by harlots.

4.0 Point Stance: this is a dictatorship. Protesters can seek asylum elsewhere.

Don’t take this the wrong way brah. I’m certainly not throwing a hissy fit or threatening to not read anymore (as that would punish me 100x more than it would punish you). I’m just busting your balls a bit.

This is only worth the money being spent on it because of the “controversy” . I say ignore it and it will go away.

This is Tebow’s moment of glory before he goes on to revolutionize the NFL with his unique athletic skills. Just like Reggie Bush and Vince Young before him.

Raptor Jesus forgives you.

I read in the article that Tebow is ‘standing up for what he beleives in’ (paraphrased). But I feel that neither the Colts nor the saints are threatening what he beleives in. So who exaclty is he standing up to?

The best case for Mr Dobson is that the occurrence of casual sex will be lower than previous Super Bowls due to the probablilty that many drunk male football fans will make highly offensive statements after the commercial and drive the female football fans away.

Seriosuly, though, it’s a free country. I don’t think they’re going to reach the intended audience. The frenzy over when it’s being aired will be overshadow their message.

I don’t respect Greggg Doyel’s opinion on the subject he is paid to write about professionally. Why should I care that he regularly takes shots at athletes expressing political or religious views different from his own under the guise of keeping sports apart from every other aspect of society? Pete Fiutak does the same thing every chance he gets, and I wouldn’t trust him to edit a HS newspaper.

This is an artificial controversy. If CBS approved the script, that tells me it is mainstream enough to be unlikely to matter to the vast majority of the viewing audience, although I’m sure it will put a damper on NOW’s Super Bowl viewing parties nationwide.

Sports are supposed to unite us rather than divide us? WTF? Someone hasn’t been to many football games…ever.

“No, I cannot prove that Saban is really a Terminator but we still ought to throw him into that vat of molton metal just to be safe.”

PT

Oh, sure, they’ll air this politically charged bullshit, but Marcus Vick wants to buy 30 seconds to air his views on lowering the legal age of consent and CBS is all “No no no inappropriate venue poor taste blah blah blah.” DOUBLE STANDARD ALERT!

Possessing so few brian cells I cannot risk any more to a Doyel article.

Regarding controversy, I take mine with an extra helping of wardrobe malfunction

Any chance the pro-choice camp can retain Tiger Woods for their rebuttal commercial?

(sorry for the multiple posts but I had to say it to someone)

I would think Tebowophobes would love this. The holier his image is built up, the greater the schadenfreude potential when he falls. Of course, if he never “falls,” you have a problem.

Ignoring him would be the play for the haters. Or, make a drinking game out of it. To give your liver half a chance, maybe only do a shot of beer every time you see him on the tube or some announcer gushes over him. This way, you’ll look forward to having more Tebow in your life!

Since women have such small brains, I would think that they would appreciate men thinking for them. For instance, 99% of the time when I see a woman physicist, she’s in a Bond movie and James just spent a sweaty night with her. The other 1% of the time its Marie Curie, and she was nothin’ but Pierre’s bitch.

But seriously, nobody is forcing anybody to watch this. If you don’t like it, then when you see the ad or whatever its called, get a beer.

@3 Well, there is only around 100 million billion different things that money should be directed from and sent to Haiti. Pinpointing this is a bit much

Yanked from an AP story: “CBS responded …by saying that it had eased restrictions on advocacy ads and would consider "responsibly produced" ones for open spots in its Feb. 7 broadcast.”

So, does that mean PETA gets to air that “hot models humping broccoli” ad they made after all?

Since I am physically incapable of agreeing with Gregg Doyel: Bring on Tebow holding an aborted fetus!

For what it’s worth, the National Organization of Fetuses (NOF) it surprisingly split on the issue.

For the record: we went and deleted any and all serious comments, including one made by our own dear spouse and a heartfelt personal tale. This isn’t remedial internet discussion class. No problems are being solved. No beliefs are being respected. Be funny, light, or be gone.

Eternal September was last month. Thus the deletions.

Sooo…if they wrap the football in a baby blanket does Tim do better under center?

(Better Orson?! LOL)

Snookie, Jenny J-Wow and The Situation Dept:

OC Phil was right, by not ignoring this thing, it has gotten legs, and now I am very curious about the Tebow-mercial. If it makes it to the Super Bowl, I am sure I would watch. Lots of good, some funny comments on this site today about the Tebowler.

The Tebow-mercial reminds me of the Jersey Shore MTV Show. It hit the radar, starting with the Italian-American protester types going against the Pro-Guido show…which got me curious, looked for it and saw it…. and man, what a train wreck. But, it was too funny to ignore, from then on.

Like Hollywierd says: “There is no such thing as bad publicity”.

SKLM— Jersey Shore needed no protest to make it a raging success. It is its own momentum.

Killing……Billability Dept:

#30, OS, “problems are not being solved here”, I agree!, But, problems are being made, such as killing billability and stuff.

Go cocks

blah blah blah women’s rights blah blah blah the bible says blah blah blah it’s her body blah blah blah starts at birth blah blah blah

can we get back to football and rahkrootin now?

(in Carl voice)

So uh, Orson, if your wife some sort of a skank or something? ‘Cause if she is and if she is the “all abortion/all the time” type, then I go nuthin’ to worry. So if she’s interested she can get to know what THE MEATYBOB IS ALL ABOUT!. Yeeeeeaaaaaahhhhhh, Sweet Nectar! That Right Baby, I GOT THE GOODS!

(proceeds to play “I Want To Rock Your Body” on the air guitar)

Abort, Retry, Fail?
Circle one
Urbz Retirement Plan

The best part of this whole ad is that if Tebow doesn’t go high in the draft, his “people” can complain it was because of a conspiracy by the atheist abortionist hate-America-first crowd.

It’s a curious way to use sex to distract people from limited pro success – surely Leinart knocking up his college girlfriend and working his way through ASU jailbait, or Reggie Bush working his way through Kim Kardashian’s buttocks would be the more conventional approach?

If this Tebow ad doesn’t include Matt Leinart and his baby momma, I’m throwing the yellow flag of hypocrisy.

Meatybob—

Waaaaaaahahahahaha! I’m actually reading these posts from my OB’s office.

How dare you slander a man such as Gregg Doyle! Any man who spells “Greg” with 3 Gs is 50% more gangsta.

/I beg of you Dear Leader don’t send me to commenter “reeducation” camp. I didn’t mean my above outburst.

Not sure what the fuss is about. Equal time is already being given because the Bud Light commercials are really excellent arguments in favor of abortion.

Does this mean, though, that an organization promoting legal euthanasia rights would also be permitted to buy airtime? They wouldn’t even need 30 seconds — just a clip of Brett Favre trudging off the field at the Superdome, and fade in the words “When it’s time . . . it’s time.”

Thanks, at least, for not giving me the banishment, O.

I’d read anyhow.

I thought it was both light and funny, but fuck it, what do I know?

I’m really just a mostly silent fan, and we are surely legions.

If the spot gets pulled, people will actually be more curious about it and will probably watch it online just to see what the fuss was all about, like anything else that gets denied access to the mainstream media for which it was created.
If The Left were more savvy, they’d do a Rosemary’s Baby/ The Omen-themed spot tagged with something like “Abortion. Sometimes it’s a good idea.”
All in all, i wish we weren’t talking about this during the Superbowl, but, well, freedom of speech.

Commercial time during the Super Bowl is time to:

1. Re-beer
2. Expel used beer and gas
3. Get more nachos (and wings, if there are any left).

The idea that anyone would see/acknowledge the Tebow/Jesus commercial is just silly.
