Why the Tebow Ad is a disgrace!

What is wrong with us? I, being a Florida Gator fan and follower of Tebow, have loved the guy since day one. But now, he has ruined my man crush. Dude wants to promote how he helps the impovershed in the Pacific Rim, cool. Dude wants to say he hasn't laid pipe, cool. Dude wants to talk about his belief system in an interview, cool. But for a player who has yet to be drafted, yet to run a play in the NFL, and yet to be questioned by another point of view to have a commercial in the Super Bowl is a joke. Is this what we have come to? The Supreme Court decides that Corporations can spend unlimited amounts backing candidates, and now major corporations are going to push what they see as moral down our throats? Way to go seperation of church and state! Especially on this day, a day that people tune in to escape the every day issues and watch a game they love. You say it sends the right message to our youth? I say why does your young child who may be watching the game and isn't of age for sexual activity have to become aware of an adult issue during a game which is meant to be for all ages? I can see all the dad's out there, watching the game with family and friends, when the commercial comes on....after, just as the game returns and Peyton is driving for the go ahead score to win the game, little Bobby tugs on daddy's shirt. "Dad, so Tim's mommy wasn't gonna have him"? "Did you and Mommy want me"? Peyton completes to Wayne at the ten...."No son, we planned on having you"? Hand off to Addai..."So what happens if someone doesn't want their kid"? Hmmm, watch the game and ignore having a talk with your impressionable child, or do you do the right thing, have the talk and ignore the game? Who knew Football, Religion, and Morals went hand in hand? Way to go NFL for allowing this, and way to go CBS for being a leader in shoving an arguement (against our Constitutional rights I may add) down our throat on the last day it should be so. Pretty soon, Super Bowl Sunday will surpass Thanksgiving as the day families bicker most. Thanks for not letting us make our own decisions on how we educate our children and when we educate them. Think about it, should Trojan be allowed to buy ad time on Nickelodeon promoting safe sex during Dora the Expolorer?
