No, both moveon.org and PETA put up the cash for a Superbowl ad. They turned them down because they were "too controversial".

Dumping any of the usual US politcal crap and taking 50 paces back - that commercial has been presented well. In fact, very well!! :-) Forgetting the "message" (which some will agree and disagree about), - it is just a good ad which conveys a message well!

On the "contraversial" angle, yes of course it is gonna be contraversial when a sporting event is mixed with politics - this is unfortunate. The SuperBowl has nothing to do with any Democratic, Republican or any other party - it's about sport.
That dumps the issue back into the lap of the "the media", which to anyone looking inwards at the US, - it is 100% rock sold clear that the "average" standard of the media in the US is astoundingly poor and biased to an extent that is does not even portray any form of life outside US territory and is "limited" in the truth inside that country.
That is not to say, the personnel and reporters are basically crap, - there are many decent folks in this field, but they ain't got a chance!
There was a survey a couple of years back where a group of US reporters, - from both prominent national newspapers to regional publications were asked, - "If you were to tell a story as you saw it, and this was published, would you be concerned about your next paycheck?" 68% said yes.
Talk about being "owned" - tis a pity for a "land of freedom" to have this nonsense. I sure wish some US folks would wake up and take their country back from all the "greed merchants" and political liars who are currently pillaging the place, - the last thing these folks have on their mind is any form of democracy.
