It’s a good ad and it would be a shame to not have it shown during a family-friendly event.
Remember this statement. Make sure that there are NO OBAMA praise ads or moments in the ads or half time show.
The corporate world has ushered in all sorts of OBAMA marketing strategies (Pepsico among them).
We will be watching for any lying liars at NBC and the NFL.
This is a disappointment at best.
Pro-purgatory?
There’s a football game this weekend?
That is one of the best commercials I have ever seen.
I recall moveon.orgy had a superbowl ad that wasn't really over the top, but was rejected a few years back. They knew it would be rejected, but got a lot of coverage claiming censorship. But this has always been the case for advocay ads, right or left.
Can’t they do a better job of getting their message out if they don’t blow $2.6 million on a single Super Bowl ad? I wasn’t aware they were that flush with funds.
I really don’t think this group would actually want the ad to air during the game. Much like the rejected PETA ad, I think this about getting publicity and getting many views without having to pony up $3 million for the ad time. The rejectiona dn associated publicity is much more cost effective.

The spot shows a father talking to his son, in English and Spanish, about the benefits of the new car:"Papa, Why do we have a hybrid?"
"For your future ... It's better for the air, and, we spend less because it runs on gas and electrical power. It uses both."
"Like you, with English and Spanish!"
"Si!"
Toyota vice president Jim Farley says the spot "incorporates the truth that parents are always moving forward in their lives, and we think the commercial will really resonate across cultural lines and show the benefits of our new Camry Hybrid in a touching and effective way."
Ironically, this is a good thing.
Sports and politics generally do not mix well. There would likely be resentment among Super Bowl viewers if they were suddenly yanked from their drunken reverie and confronted with a serious political issue like abortion. Trying to air this ad during the Super Bowl was not a wise idea and might actually have elicited a backlash.

In last years Superbowl, they showed an Obama campaign ad.
Just sent a message to NBC. I’ll not be watching. That’s a first boycott for me, and I really wanted to see if Fitzgerald, Boldin and Warner could overcome the Steelers’ D which I think is the best they’ve had in a long time.
With FOCA around the corner the timing and publicity are too important, and despite it’s flaws (a couple minor ones), it’s a brilliant ad.
