The Controversial And Shocking Tim Tebow Super Bowl Advertisement

Focus on the Family ad.

Wonder what you would find if you frisked the controversial and shocking Focus on the Family Super Bowl advertisement featuring Florida quarterback Tim Tebow and his mother?

Answer: Another question… What was all the hype about?

Wow… Granted, this is one of the two advertisements that will be shown, but really? This was what the far-left “pro-choice” organizations were fussing over? After seeing this advertisement, they will have one of these reactions: “Man… I feel pretty stupid now and should have waited until I saw the ad first to open my mouth” or “Eh, they still mentioned ‘celebrate life’ at the end of the ad and this a total outrage!”

Overall, I think it is safe to say that this advertisement is simply advocating the choice to choose life, not advocating to end abortion completely. Once again, the far-left “pro-choice” organizations prove that they aren’t actually “pro-choice”… They are just pro-abortion.

Ed Morrissey – from Hot Air – gives you all something to think about tonight when you’re watching the Super Bowl commercials:

Besides calling her Heisman Trophy winning son a “miracle baby,” the ad never discusses explicitly the heartbreaking choice offered to Pam Tebow during her pregnancy. For that, the ad refers viewers back to Focus on the Family. Just remember that this was the commercial that infuriated feminists when you’re watching the GoDaddy commercials and skimpily-dressed women selling beer.

Although, there is nothing wrong with those type of commercials, haha.

Turns out the actual game-time advertisement featuring Tim Tebow and his mother was a funnier version of the first one posted above. You can’t go wrong with a Super Bowl ad where Tim Tebow tackles his own mother:

HAHA! Great twist to the advertisement that will once again throw far-left liberals off their rockers, but as Hot Air points out… They already have:

Pff, got to love liberal, feminist bloggers… Apparently there is no humor with them.

*UPDATE* – February 8, 2010 – 3:00 PM

Wow! After the second Focus on the Family advertisement aired during the Super Bowl, Ed Morrissey – from Hot Air – and I gave two different predictions. While I agreed with his assessment, he predicted that the far-left would gripe about making light of domestic violence, while I predicted that they have absolutely no sense of humor. Well folks, the National Organization for Women (NOW) has proven us both right:

Unable to gain any tradition by calling the Focus on the Family Tim Tebow Super Bowl ad extremist or over the top, pro-abortion groups today are offering a new dig on the commercial. The president of NOW and other abortion advocates claim the ad promotes domestic violence.

[...]

In an attempt to fall in line with the humorous nature of most Super Bowl commercials, the Focus on the Family in-game ad shows Tebow tackling his mom and his mother playfully scolding him for interrupting her.

In remarks that are raising eyebrows from pro-life advocates, NOW president Terry O’Neill said that bit of the ad glorified violence against women.

“I am blown away at the celebration of the violence against women in it,” she told the Los Angeles Times. “That’s what comes across to me even more strongly than the anti-abortion message. I myself am a survivor of domestic violence, and I don’t find it charming. I think CBS should be ashamed of itself.”

Haha, not only is NOW completely off base and out of touch, they are enormous hypocrites too. I don’t recall NOW or any other feminist organizations erupting in outrage over this video:

Oh yeah! I forgot… Sarah Palin is a conservative woman and feminist organizations only stick up for women who hold the same political views and values.

Liberals Up In Arms Over Tebow’s Super Bowl Ad

Florida QB Tim Tebow.

Wonder what you would find if you frisked pro-choice organizations and other liberals?

Answer: They are angry at a “pro-life” Super Bowl advertisement they have not even seen.

Watch the video I posted above to see a few of the weak arguments being made by organizations such as Women’s Media Center. If you didn’t believe it before, you probably do now. The whole fuss over this unseen advertisement clearly proves the intolerance of the self-proclaimed “tolerant” left-wing.

The pro-life group Focus on the Family has shelled out $2 million to have their 30 second advertisement aired during the Super Bowl this Sunday. The advertisement focuses on the mother of Tim Tebow and her story of giving birth to the University of Florida football star.

Personally, I love these types of news stories, because it is political correctness at its finest. It proves just how intolerant and disrespectful some individuals are towards the first amendment of the United States Constitution. Remember: The answer to speech you don’t like is not less speech; it’s more speech.

What’s even more shocking is that Sally Jenkins – a liberal, pro-choice, sports columnist for the Washington Post – is defending the Tebow’s Super Bowl advertisement:

As statements at Super Bowls go, I prefer the idea of Tebow’s pro-life ad to, say, Jim McMahon dropping his pants, as the former Chicago Bears quarterback once did in response to a question. We’re always harping on athletes to be more responsible and engaged in the issues of their day, and less concerned with just cashing checks. It therefore seems more than a little hypocritical to insist on it only if it means criticizing sneaker companies, and to stifle them when they take a stance that might make us uncomfortable.

I’m pro-choice, and Tebow clearly is not. But based on what I’ve heard in the past week, I’ll take his side against the group-think, elitism and condescension of the “National Organization of Fewer and Fewer Women All The Time.” For one thing, Tebow seems smarter than they do.

Tebow’s 30-second ad hasn’t even run yet, but it already has provoked “The National Organization for Women Who Only Think Like Us” to reveal something important about themselves: They aren’t actually “pro-choice” so much as they are pro-abortion. Pam Tebow has a genuine pro-choice story to tell. She got pregnant in 1987, post-Roe v. Wade, and while on a Christian mission in the Philippines, she contracted a tropical ailment. Doctors advised her the pregnancy could be dangerous, but she exercised her freedom of choice and now, 20-some years later, the outcome of that choice is her beauteous Heisman Trophy winner son, a chaste, proselytizing evangelical.

Pam Tebow and her son feel good enough about that choice to want to tell people about it. Only, NOW says they shouldn’t be allowed to. Apparently NOW feels this commercial is an inappropriate message for America to see for 30 seconds, but women in bikinis selling beer is the right one. I would like to meet the genius at NOW who made that decision. On second thought, no, I wouldn’t.

Excellent points made by Ms. Jenkins.

Haha, I swear… Some of the liberals who are running these pro-choice organizations fail to use the head that God placed on their shoulders. If they would have not thrown a fit over this “pro-life” advertisement to begin with, I bet no one would have hardly noticed in the first place. Thanks to their own outrage and anger, the Tebows and Focus on the Family are getting their $2 million worth. At the end of the day, I’m sure the pro-life groups are probably  saying: “Thank you getting so pointlessly riled up.”
