Remember last year Tim Tebow was in a "controversial" commercial...which really wasn't that controversial. His commercial was from Focus on the Family, and regarded abortion (but you didn't know that from the commercial itself). Fast forward to this year...I read on another blog about a commercial that FOX chose not to air this time. Assuming this is true, it is sad what is considered appropriate and normal these days...read the following that I copied and pasted from the other blog:
What was the ad that FOX didn’t want to touch with a ten foot pole? An innocuous ad that refers to the scripture John 3:16 and directs viewers to a website LookUp316.com.
The ad shows a group of fans watching a football game who notice that one of the players is wearing John 3:16 written in his eye-black. (A verse, by the way, that is as standard at American sporting events as the giant foam finger.) In the ad, one of fans says, “Hey, I’ve seen that before. What does it mean?” And another guy says, “I don’t know. Hey, I’ll look it up.” Cut to the site address on the screen for LookUp316.com.
That’s the so-called “controversial” ad FOX refused to air. They’ll gladly take the $3 million per 30 second commercial to air truly offensive ads, but won’t take the money from a group promoting a truly inspirational message.
