Bill Maher: Every Super Bowl ad is an advocacy ad.
Edited on Sat Jan-31-04 09:30 AM by Eric J in MN
Every Super Bowl ad is an advocacy ad. It's just that most of them advocate we fill our bodies with beer and grease.

-paraphrase of Bill Maher, "Real Time with Bill Maher," January 30, 2004

Told the truth,said that Bush wants to blame EVERYTHING on 9/11 and the threat of terrorism. "He wants to cut down trees because terrorist can hide behind them"

Way to go Bill!

3. People here give Maher a LOT of shit
But the truth is, he's not a Democrat, so why should he tow the Dem line? He's a comedian, so why should he not make jokes?

PETA has been having ads for the Super Bowl rejected a lot longer than MoveOn.

If someone wants to mention PETA or MoveOn or both or neither, I have no problem with that.
