What Superbowl ad would you like CBS to show?
CBS willing to air more Super Bowl advocacy ads

NEW YORK—CBS responded to complaints over a conservative group's planned Super Bowl ad featuring football star Tim Tebow by saying that it had eased restrictions on advocacy ads and would consider "responsibly produced" ones for open spots in its Feb. 7 broadcast.

He said CBS "will continue to consider responsibly produced ads from all groups for the few remaining spots in Super Bowl XLIV."

In 2004, CBS was criticized by many liberal organizations for rejecting an ad by the United Church of Christ highlighting the UCC's welcoming stance toward gays and others who might feel shunned by more conservative churches.

CBS said Tuesday that, under its new policies, the UCC ad would have been accepted for airing. The network said that it has run ads in the past year or so with divergent views on topics such as the health care overhaul, climate change and energy policy....

10. If they were concerned about "responsible ads"
why would they air an ad from a group responsible for sowing hatred and driving wedges between people? Doesn't sound very responsible to me.

Let's see an ad for the Freedom From Religion Foundation. Then I might take them seriously.

There are football fans of every political and religious belief. Let's not offend any of them.
