In the weeks leading up to the Super Bowl, there was much controversy regarding the commercials that would air during the program. One in which that was grabbing the majority of the press' attention was the anti abortion ad featuring Tim Tebow, a Heisman trophy winning quarterback. In the ad, Tebow's mother would appear and explain the difficult decision she had to make while pregnant with her son.
Discussion stemmed from the use of the one sided argument. In the commercial, there is only one side of abortion shown. CBS turned down several other commercials, including one which advertised an online dating site for gay men.
The real problem here is that CBS specifically chose to show biased commercials.
The end result was the actually airing of the comercial, in which the word "abortion" was never even used! The full meaning of the comercial is still hard to find, leaving many viewers confused. The controversie seemed to be over nothing.
Now that the hype is over, all that is left is to make jokes. Jimmy Kimmel gives his pro-life ad.
