We alerted you to CBS’ decision to air an anti-choice ad during the Super Bowl from the notoriously intolerant and divisive organization Focus on the Family. Thanks to you, over 4,000 people have sent 120,000 letters to CBS, NFL, and Super Bowl advertising executives asking that they adhere to the longstanding tradition of prohibiting controversial spots during the Super Bowl and scrap the ad.
CBS now claims to have changed its policy on accepting advocacy ads. But its decision to debut this policy by associating itself with the anti-choice, anti-equality Focus on the Family raises serious questions about CBS policies and bias — and leads us to this question: What Does CBS Stand For?
As part of our efforts to scrap the ad, we’re launching a video campaign to amplify your voice. We want to know what you think C-B-S stands for. “Corporate Broadcast Sell-outs” or “Completely Blatant Sexism”? We’ve come up with a few to get your juices flowing — click here to watch our video.

For CBS to become a shill for Focus on the Family and Tim Tebow and their right wing religious/political/social agenda is an outrage. Could we just be entertained and not have to endure the personal and corporate witnessing? The “Choirboy” should be taken to the woodshed for using his newfound celebrity to promote what SHOULD remain personal and private beliefs.
Let’s take the zealotry and greed out of our sports broadcasts and the national dialogue. CBS, you’re off my viewing list, your sponsors won’t be seeing any of my money…and I’m spreading the word.
