DL-able version?

 

[Mo0o]

No worse than miller lite i think

 

[NikPreviousAcct]

With what happened last year, they're surprised that an ad like that got rejected?

 

[BigJ]

I like it!

 

[mobobuff]

So I'm guessing that the clip was the actual commercial and not anything official?

Lol, nevermind. I saw the "Salem, MA" and "G-SPAN" thing.

 

[DevilsAdvocate]

Meh

 

[GasX]

The rejected Bud-Light ad is funny!

 

[SacrosanctFiend]

I'm not seeing what was wrong with the commercial.

Oh man, commercials are going to suck this superbowl.

The Gov't is really stomping on freedom of speech. That commercial is not even comparable to the other stuff Fox shows on TV.

I see what's wrong with it... it's not funny. I'd reject it too.

The Gov't didn't reject it, FOX did. Yes, I know they did it because they're afraid of the FCC, but you don't know that the FCC would've done anything about an ad like that. FOX is running scared after what happened last year.

stupid commercial. No creativity. What happened to all the creative commercials? Not the rude crude crass naked girl type.

It's not that great, other than a hot babe in it.

That's the point. THe big stations are living in fear because of the FCC. A lot of media is. Not that I like the media the way it is now, but censorship is going to make it worse.

I understand that. But to say that the Govt. is stomping on free speech because of this incident is incorrect. They did not act on it at all, FOX did.
