[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 340166, member: 6546"] I don't think a pm is necessary to give you the "gist" of the problem. Basically, the commercial was supposed to feature Heisman Torphy winner Tim Tebow and his Mom. The story is that Mom was advised to have an abortion after suffering some pretty serious complications during pregnancy. If she had followed doctor's orders, Tim would not be here today. The Tebow family heads an Evangelical Christian organization of some kind...and their story has been picked up by the Pro-Life people...I guess they have become honorary "spokespeople" for the cause. Apparantly, when word got out that the Tebows would be appearing in a SuperBowl ad, the Pro-Choice folks were very upset and advised pro-Choice supporters to write CBS and boycott the game. Frankly, I didn't see anything in the commercial that was offensive either way. If anything, the commercial was so vague it was hard to know what it was even about... Made me wonder whether it had been modified after all the hub-bub. --DaisyFace [/QUOTE]
