I forgot about this while I was watching last night.

Most of the commercials were disgusting. Violence seemed to be this year's top theme. Only GoDaddy strikes me as cute, while being slightly risque.

We see sponsors proving we are living in Idiocracy, where the most popular program is “Oh! My Balls.”

This year, a commercial featuring a quarterback with "John 3:16" written as dark smudges beneath his eyes was rejected.

If it was rejected, why did I see it yesterday?

Somehow, the exclusivity of Christianity is VERY offensive,
yet the exclusivity of other religions is not.

Could it be because....

Christianity is the only one that’s true?

I was very disappointed with Budweiser's "Wild West" ad last night. I thought it was "gay".

The truths of the Bible are offensive, ... Christ offends men because his gospel is intolerant of sin.

They worry that that will offend somebody, but a finger licking pants smelling perverted commercial or the other one with the cross dresser - is perfectly family friendly viewing.

Perhaps the local FOX station in your area decided to go a different direction, and to show it. I work in TV production, and when there is a national telecast like this, the network inserts “black” where the commercials should go, or the local programming.

So that’s probably what happened - your local FOX affiliate showed it.

FOX is slowing moving towards the same drek as the MSM is doing now. Soon we won’t know the difference. Shepard Smith seems to be the vanguard of the move to the Left.

40% of major sports games contain ads for male-erectile enhancement, something clearly inappropriate for children. Why are erectile dysfunction commercials acceptable while religious advocacy is not?

Not to mention Feminine Hygene Products, when are they
going to run some Male Hygene products like
Wild Stallion Sheath Cleaner, Leaves you feeling like
a stud and Mares like it too...

you should probably have this thread removed. Since the ad aired and we all saw it, certain nefarious elements (who LOVE reading FR in secret) will use it against good conservatives.

I think it’s more of an equal discount of all religious ads which keeps Islam off the air.

Because if they allow a John 3:16 ad, then they will have to show some stupid Islam ad and Fox doesnt want that kind of problem on their hands.

Dumb as it may be, im pretty sure equal disqualification.

And if they accepted an ad for Christian proselytization, would you be fine if they then allow Muslims to advocate as well? Because I think that's the root of the problem -- if you allow one group to advertise on a subject, you have to allow all groups.

WHy do you sya that if you allow one group to evangelize, you HAVE to allow all groups to do so?

What law or regulation requires that?

There is no separation of ads and state, or religion,
if someone want’s to pay....do it. It’s part of the
free expression thereof.

Pepsi MAX ads were the most violent. I'll not be buying any Pepsi soft drink products.

Yes, the truth does have a certain intolerance of error. Jesus himself said that men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. It has been that way since the Garden of Eden, and will be that way till the end of time.
