edition.cnn.com/video/#/video/bestoftv/2010/02/02/lkl.gay.ad.cnnThe television station covering the upcoming Superbowl has decided to run a 30 second pro-life ad. The video link shows a segment of the Larry King Show, where supporters and opponents of the ad present their views.
I used to listen to Dr. Dobson's "Focus on the Family" on Armed Forces Radio in Germany! Unfortunately this excellent program is no longer broadcasted here. The opponents of the ad consider "Focus on the Family"-the ad sponsers-to be an "extreme organisation".

If people don't want to have an abortion, then don't have one, but why do they want to impose that view on everyone else? Everybody has the right to fell how they want to feel on abortion, why poke their unwanted noses into other people's lives?

Someone shoot Bill O'Reilly and let Jehmu Greene finish a sentence!
It was almost impossible to follow what she was saying because of the interruptions.

CBS is getting a lot of criticism for airing this pro-life ad!
CBS refused to air a homosexual dating ad by some group called "ManCrunch".. I feel in both cases CBS should be applauded. Heterosexuals would certainly be offended, if an organisation called Hetero-Crunch wanted to represent them. Female homosexuals wouldn't tolerate a dating service with the sickening name "WomanCrunch". How yucky gross! www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2010/01/28/exclusive-cbs-limbo-air-gay-dating-site-ad-super-bowl/

If I was a shareholder I question if they made the right decision but, it isn't really important is it.

I'm glad they didn't refuse the Pro-Life ad. As far as the male homosexual ad goes. Here's the YouTube link to it.
Imagine how heterosexuals or female homosexuals would feel, if their life style were portrayed like this. Some male homosexuals are so exhibitionistic. I'm sure a lot of "gay guys" feel offended too by this portrayal!

Sterotyping is part of advertising, no matter what your sexuality. I find it difficult to get worked up about it, unless it's completely ott!
In the uk at the moment all women play online bingo according to adverts!
I do not play bingo!

UK broadcasters have to operate under rules, including fairness, balance etc. I wonder if this advert would break it? No-one commenting on it seems to have seen it, but I gather it features an athlete whose mother refused medical advice to have an abortion. It does not stretch the imagination of any of us to envisage a contrary result; a woman who followed her principles and left her children motherless. Perhaps they should find one of those bereaved children - or the child of a woman who was denied an abortion and went on to abuse him (or her), just to square things out.

We can end this this hateful pro-life vs. pro-choice debate once and for all if everyone will just follow the Bill Clinton method. Oral sex is the answer. You can't get pregnant with oral sex. As Bill himself said on TV, "I did not have sex with that woman, Ms Lewinsky, I did not."
A blow job is not sex. What a concept. We can end the abortion debate and reduce the overcrowding problem by adopting Bill Clinton's concept.

DAS, I'm not sure this issue is so much about the rights and wrongs of abortion as fairness in broadcasting.
Of course it is never possible to please all the people all the time and 'balance ' is to some extent subjective when it comes to weighing opposing views. But if a company broadcast a "pro choice" advert I think it would be right to allow the anti-abortion lobby their twopennyworth as well.

Jumbo: I had thought that CBS was putting the advert on free, as a kind of public service broadcast! I really must pay more attention.

It would be fair to expect an advertisement from a charity or pressure group to follow the same rules as any commercial advertiser; promote your cause or product, but don't denegrade your rivals.
Thus an advert from an anti-abortion group is fine if all it does is highlight "the family" (whatever that is), without mentioning or suggesting that abortion is wrong. But pretty pointless too, I'd have thought!

But pretty pointless too, I'd have thought! hell hon, commercials denigrate their competition all the time. chevy gets better gas mileage than ford, budweiser is better than coors, etc, etc, etc i don't think that there is anywhere in this ad that states that abortion is wrong. it may be implied, but it's not said, and there is a HUGE difference

In Britian advertisers are allowed to compare their product with others in specified ways; they can say the Corsa is cheaper than a Clio or a Mondeo more roomy than its equivalent. I don't think they are say more generally that they are better than Ford (or other named car maker), but of course that will be implied from their other claims about themselves.
As you say, there is a huge difference.

As you say, there is a huge difference. here, among many, there are several gm commercials that directly state that gm is a better car than totyota. i've seen a couple of women's shampoo commercial do the same thing. hell, that occurs a lot in beauty product commercials as well i do remember when we were like you though, and they couldn't disparage the competition. of course, i remember when lawyers couldn't advertise, and now, that's about the only commercials on during the day
