DBFOTW: Don’t Abort Tim Tebow

This week’s DBFOTW has got more hot sports abortion opinions than Jim Trabor and Al Escbach … combined. That’s a whole lot of opinions. Anyway, as I’m sure you’ve heard, Tim Tebow’s mother Pam — the Virgin Mary? — is going to be featured in a $2.8 million pro-life commercial spot during next week’s Super Bowl.

What. The. Fuck. Despite CBS’s policy, this opens up a precedent that anyone with a take can buy airtime and say whatever they want (within reason) to the 198 gazillion people watching the event. Whatever you are — pro-choice, pro-life, pro-rabbits — that’s great. But don’t rain on my parade of “funny” Super Bowl commercials written by flunky copywriters/bloggers from Madison Avenue ad shops.

I’m happy that she’s pleased not to abort her son, who eventually became QB Jesus Tim Tebow. Does this mean I should go dial up all the sistas I banged in college (made up) and see if I have starting five running around somewhere? This message is just hollow, in my opinion.

Don’t abort, have a Heisman winner. Why not, screw your bills, play the lottery. OK, that’s a stretch, but I’m ranting now, so whatever. I’m not alone in this viewpoint … not because I support one side or the other, but just because the medium chosen is just a ploy for attention.

CBS has been asked by the Women’s Media Center (sounds made up) to pull the ad, saying it will do much more harm than good. And I agree.

“An ad that uses sports to divide rather than to unite has no place in the biggest national sports event of the year — an event designed to bring Americans together,” said Jemhu Greene, president of the New York-based Women’s Media Center.

Regarding the conservative Christian group Focus on the Family, who paid for the ad, the WMC offered this gem in a letter to CBS:

“By offering one of the most coveted advertising spots of the year to an anti-equality, anti-choice, homophobic organization, CBS is aligning itself with a political stance that will damage its reputation, alienate viewers, and discourage consumers from supporting its shows and advertisers.”

Those are the big guns. I don’t know of the track record of the FoF, nor do I care. It’s just not the right time, place or medium for such a discussion.

Anyway, sorry for that backtrack. This dude below, with his absolutely terribly home TV studio, rants and raves about morals and doing what’s wrong and how pro-choice humans are the devil. This guy would get kicked out of bingo hall. I’d rather have beer with Ned Flanders than this piece of work.
