The Focus on the Family ad was apparently an "alternate" version of the ad instead of the rah-rah anti-abortion thing they were originally going to go with (the one where Tebow's mother lies about being advised by a doctor in the Phillipines to have an abortion).
Instead, it was a tame ad which advertised Focus on the Family, which to me ended up being even MORE offensive considering that FotF is a virulently anti-gay organization. An anti-abortion message (lie that it is, coming from Tebow's mother) I can live with, but an advertisement for an anti-gay organization is frustrating. CBS deflected criticism initially by saying that the ad didn't depict the anti-gay viewpoint of FotF, merely the anti-abortion viewpoint, so it was ok to run -- and then they go ahead and just advertise the organization as a whole!?!? WTF?
That's like running an ad by the KKK, as long as it just had something nice to say about families. F*ck CBS.
