The ad was so bad, I'm glad it was rejected.

In addition, no one's ever heard of the company. It didn't make sense that they would have millions of dollars (in cash, so they claimed) to spend on a 30-second TV ad.

Likely a hoax, but food for thought if CBS is going to run controversial ads. They'll also have to ask themselves if they'll be saying yes to ads from murray hill inc running for congress in MD.

The last I heard is that Tim Tebow is doing an anti abortion ad during superbowl sponsored by Focus on the Family.

Was this the best "anti" Focus on the Family ad the liberal mainstream could come up with?

FAIL!!!!!!!!!!

Uh, no. This ad had nothing to do with Tim Tebow or Focus On The Family. What a strange assumption.

Has this ad been cancelled? All I'm saying is that it is quite uncanny how this ad is gonna be aired while the one listed in this post is not.

I think they are running the Tebow one.

One is telling people that there are other options besides abortion.

The other is an ad for a gay dating service.

They have nothing to do with each other.

Just wondering why you say it is uncanny?

One has a very heavy conservative message while the other is very liberal. While they are distinctly different topics, it is a shame that a company (if it is a real company) would play a hoax like that.

The fact that an ad like the one in the post would be rejected is quite a blow for the gay community. (Pun most definitely intended.)

One would think that they would come out with more firepower than that.

abortion is not a conservative issue.

gay dating services is not a liberal issue.

abortion and gay dating services have absolutley nothing to do with each other.

I'm guessing that most gay people don't worry much at all about getting pregnant or abortion anyway. And I doubt Tim Tebow gives a lot of thought about gay dating services.

Those are just guesses as I am not Tim Tebow nor am I gay.

On the contrary-

Most conservatives have anti-abortion sentiment while most liberals push for gay rights.

Who cares anyway, right?
