  • CBS says no to gay ad and yes to abortion ad…HMMM

    mancrunchss

    Is CBS inserting their politics on TV? The warm and fuzzy “anti-abortion” ad that was protested by every women’s group from here to Timbuktu stays but the goofy ManCrunch commercial is kicked to the curb. I guess we can call CBS the official conservation channel. Is this ManCrunch ad too far?

    On the other hand, does thisĀ Focus on the Family anti-abortion ad featuring Tim Tebow deserve to stay. Certainly, in 2004, CBS rejected United Church of Christ ads featuring They sited that commercial that “touches on and/or takes a position on one side of a current controversial issue” are banned. The UCC commercial featured a gay couple attempting to enter a house of worship but being turned away by a bouncer. The commercial ended with the tagline “Jesus Didn’t Turn People Away. Neither Do We.” The Tim Tebow ad ends with “Celebrate Family, Celebrate Life” which clearly touches on or takes position of one side of an issue. Do I smell a double standard? Here both sides of this story.
