Default Super Bowl ad

I find it somewhat humorous that people were so offended by the Tebow pro-life ad & didn't want it shown --- too political/conservative/etc...

here's a liberal ad for you...


Yeah, it was funny on the surface.
But the story underneath/the hidden message wasn't so hidden to me (maybe it was to you & maybe not).
Outrage over a pro-life ad --- it must be so bad to promote the saving of a human life.
But no outrage over the promotion/glorification/etc... of single-parenthood.
Yeah --- hoochie-mama looking for a sugar-daddy & little kid sees that he ain't nothin' but a playa.
Yeah, real funny stuff.
Even the racial undertone was a bit disturbing --- all it was missing was a pack of KOOL filter kings & some grape soda.

YouTube- Doritos Commercial - Kid - Super Bowl 44 Spot

I think you're out of touch.
I didn't see anything but a guy dating a kid's mom and all I thought was that he had marriage on his mind.

What???
You cannot be serious!
Marriage was not on his mind as he leaned over to get a good look at her behind as she walked out of the room.
Even the ad made that clear with the response from the kid.

I can't believe how insensitive the Tebow add was. I admit, I was wrong in defending the add before I saw it. I really thought a pro-life add could be made without being so distrurbing.

You are absolutely right.
That was the funny part --- the whole keep your hands off my doritos & my mom --- I got a chuckle out of that.
It was the underlying theme that seemed a bit disturbing to me.
Some assumptions were made by the folks who made the commercial.

Are you being sarcastic?
Cause the one I saw (twice I think) had a lady say her baby was sick or almost didn't make it but he did and then the grown child (fb player) joins her and she says she still worries about her baby.
I couldn't eve tell it was pro life.

there are two versions..
one has Tebow tackling his mom & some people are up in arms claiming that it promotes violence against women.
However, those same douche bags haven't said a word about Betty White getting tackled in another ad.

I watched some dumbarss make a huge deal a week before the game about the comercial. I thought the add was cute but a little weak. Certainly we didn't need a heavy add witha disturbing image of a fetus but the message wasn't very strong. All in all I liked it.
