Increasingly more risque Super Bowl commercials are being accepted to play during the game. At the same time, ads with a Christian message are flat-out rejected.
The Super Bowl is the most-watched television program in America. It draws an average audience of 106.5 million viewers. 50 percent of viewers keep the volume up during its renowned commercials, and 15 percent of viewers tune in for the commercials only. The 42 minutes of commercials during the Super Bowl have become known for pushing the limits of what is considered acceptable to network censors, the FCC, and the public. Many advertisers like Go Daddy and PETA submit ads knowing they will be rejected, content with the publicity obtained from the controversy.
Increasingly more risque ads are being accepted. At the same time, ads with a Christian message are flat-out rejected.
Fox, which broadcasts the Super Bowl, has a policy prohibiting ads that contain religious advocacy. It states, "As a matter of company policy, Fox Broadcasting Company does not accept advertising from religious organizations for the purpose of advancing particular beliefs or practices."
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?
This year, a commercial featuring a quarterback with "John 3:16" written as dark smudges beneath his eyes was rejected. The Christian message in the ad was subtle, just some fans watching football and wondering what "John 3:16" meant when the camera panned in on the athlete. For Fox to find it offensive is a stretch, considering football players frequently huddle in prayer on the field and thank Jesus after they score.Read the rest of the article on Townhall
Get used to it. The de-christianization of the country is in full swing.
Do not know if it was a local ad or statewide but a Christian Univ was advertising on the super bowl they are in WPB I am in Tampa area so was not just their local fox station they were purchasing it was a well done not preachy at all ad.
It turned into the Obama Bowl. Sponsor’s bought and paid for..prime interview before.
This is shades of things to come in the next election. The MSM and Hollyweird, plus Facebook and Google will go all out to see that he is re-elected. It won’t be a billion dollar campaign..it will be many billions when you include the free promotions.
These ads are to destroy innocence of children and make sex meaningless and a commodity. (Pavlov conditioning the thinking of children). You demean the most intimate-life-producing aspect of the human being...the most integral act that can help create positive relationships especially the Christian ideal of having fathers involved in raising their biological children so children grow to be productive, emotional secure adults.
Destroy the meaning and respect for sexual morality and you can demean the human being —Slippery Slope....abortion, euthanasia, then gas chambers. If you have no Basic Truths, then you have everything.
Cultural Marxists are tearing down the fabric of the society by promoting everything that is destructive to relationships because they want to destroy Western Civilization. They need to destroy Christianity and the Natural Family to destroy the emotional health of children, so they can be easily herded and controlled. When you have no family to defend you....you are helpless to the forces of society.
I liked the “home improvement” Bud commercial!
Did you see the Pepsi ad where two blacks knocking out a white woman is the big joke?

I was sort of multi-tasking during the Bowl, and I did change the channel at half-time, so it's possible I missed something.
My favorite was Little Darth Vader...but the minute version on Youtube is much better than the shorter spot that played during the Super Bowl.
What about all the ads for movies?

I found the one where the Moochelle wannabe throwing the Pepsi can at the girl on the bench disgusting. I know from experience that blacks are being taught that blond, blue-eyed girls are the symbols of the ultimate “whitey.”
They could have used a brunette but I can guarantee they used a blonde so they could “put it on whitey.” Disgusting and tasteless. Pepsi and all their products—BOYCOTT ON.
Don't forget about "cram it in the boot." That was totally gay, metaphorically speaking.
The double entendre of the Mini Clubman commercial “Cram the Boot” was pretty wild...The commercial was definitely targeting a particular audience...
well blacks are sacred and our natural superiors you know?
at least Madison avenue kids who make these drivel ads think so
