Controversy surrounded the Tim Tebow and Mom Super Bowl ad long before it aired last night ... MSNBC said this morning that it was one of the worst Super Bowl commercials of the night.

The pre-Super Bowl discussion was primarily focused on the issue of abortion - whether that was an option or not for Mrs. Tebow when she was pregnant with Tim, and whether CBS should broadcast a decidedly pro-life commercial. Focus on the Family, a Christian organization, created and sponsored the commercial featuring the 2009 Heisman Trophy Winner and his loving mother.

Now that everyone has had a chance for themselves to see the ad (if not, then you can watch it [included with article] Are you as disappointed as the reporters at MSNBC? Was the commercial a let down? Maybe you like it and thought it was actually sweet and surprising. Vote in the poll [included with article]

I didn't know MSNBC was still on the air.

When RED EYE at 3am on Fox beats CNN and/or MSNBC in prime time it would seem someone should shut their face and get a clue!

You are so right! For the abortionist to get all upset over this innocuous ad, just highlights how out of touch, and bias they are. They promote and model uneducated, unfounded hatred. They eschew tolerance for other ideas, and refuse to allow any dissent. Even a whiff of dissent is reason enough to call for censorship! They do NOT believe in “choice”, if they did, they would not complain about this or any other advertisement.

Silly, silly planned parenthood. Why should anyone trust them? They lied about how awful this ad is, and now they have egg on their faces!

I do wonder if this commercial was the cause of the Super Bowl breaking all viewing records? Seems this game is the most watched tv show of all time; beating out the finale of “MASH”.

It was on the monitors at LA Fitness ... it’s interesting how airplanes, airports, and other establishments have these feeds from NBC and MSNBC going constantly where there are captive audiences.

I always find the remote and change the channel to FOXNEWS! Also, when I am at an airport, I always ask if FOXNEWS could please be on the monitors, because it is the most widely watched station in the nation. I always ask why msnbc or cnn is on?

[RGirard]

Good for you! We should all start asking. CNBC is the other one. The whole NBC conglomeration has a monopoly it seems

I’m sure the only ad I’ll remember is the
Clydesdale horses. I can’t tell you one ad from past years, but many Clydesdale horse ones come to mind. Thank you Budweiser!
