The "I *Heart* Eugenics" Thread

[FINtastic]

I wonder if that commercial got scaled back due to the controversy. I don't know one way or another, but I am curious about that.

If that was the commercial they were planning on running all along, then I think the biggest irony of the whole deal was the fact that no one would have known what the commercial was really advertising if the pro-choice activists hadn't made a big fuss. Because the commercial itself was completely innocuous. By trying to keep the Tebows from getting a platform, they failed to do so and ultimately gave them a megaphone to go along with that platform.

I very seriously doubt that the NOWs ever saw the commercial -- the second they heard "Focus on the Family" and "Tebow" they went into their fit of hysteria.
