Sunday evening a majority of the households in America will be tuned in to the Superbowl. This years contest is between Green Bay and Pittsburgh and it's the very last game of this NFL season...for those die hard fans, it will be 6 months or more before they see a game!
While many watch for the game itself, there are others who simply watch for the half time show...and of course, there is a blitz of new commercials to be aired. While Fox has every right to pick and choose which organizations get to pay the astronomical sums of money to show their commercials I admit I am confused.
What would be the problem with airing the following:
One of the most well known verses from the Bible. 30 seconds...and the verse is not even spoken. Is it really a problem? Fox has stated it will not air it because the commercial contains "religious doctrine". In light of the content of all the other commercials (i.e. beer commercials seen by alcoholics, etc.) Does their refusal bother you one way or the other?
