Anti-Abortion ads to air on the Super Bowl

Ladies and gents, Randall Terry, in his infinite lack of wisdom, has decided he wants to air pro-life ads with bloody fetuses on the Super Bowl. Forgive my lack of enthusiasm for this thing's stupidity. To be honest, I'm surprised the FCC isn't yelling "HOLD ON THARRR!" at this crap.

That's the point.  Famlies that have shameful sluts for daughters who may have gotten an abortion or are thinking of getting one.  Seeing the consequences of their actions will definitely change their mind.

Ironbite-hey FCC...THIS IS INDECENCY!

I thought they tried this before and a few days before the ads were pulled for being indecent?

So, a nipple slip during halftime causes mass pandemonium, yet aborted fetuses are a-okay?

This is American. Gruesome violence is OK, a titty or a wing wang will scar you for life.

Yay America! :\
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Corinthians 13: 4-7

Misread that initially. Ended wondering what turning up with a full cocktail bar and making slippery nipples for everyone would accomplish.

The discrepancy isn't unique to The States. Canada is slightly more laid back about nudity on television, at least in some regards, but we still have the "sexuality trumps violence" bullshit. Although, they did used to play The Sopranos and The Tudors on CTV (network TV, accessible by anyone with an antenna) completely uncensored -- post-watershed, of course.

Showing shock images doesn't make a solid argument.  It just takes advantage a humanity's natural aversion to anything bloody and graphic.  If this tactic was actually valid, PETA should have managed to outlaw all animal products by now.
