		<description><![CDATA[This year&#8217;s Super Bowl ads revealed a common, and bizarre, theme. More jarring than even any of the GoDaddy.com spots, were the number of ads that portrayed women as controlling, emasculating and domineering. Or did they portray men as weak, pathetic and incompetent? It was hard to tell. For starters, there was the Dodge Charger ad titled, &#8220;Man&#8217;s Last Stand.&#8221; The ad implied that because of women, men have it tough, real tough. Men (because of the bossy women in their lives) have to walk the dog, eat fruit, shave, clean the sink, take our calls, say yes when we want them to say yes, listen to our opinions and put the toilet seat down. I might have felt sorry for these pathetic creatures portrayed in the ad, if I hadn&#8217;t remembered that men do not have to do the majority of the housework, don&#8217;t take home .77 cents on the dollar in their checks every week, are occupying the corner office, and Don&#8217;t. Give. Birth! And Flo TV&#8217;s ad &#8220;Spineless&#8221; painted an equally upsetting image of a poor man&#8217;s life. In this spot, sportscaster Jim Nantz, whose own marriage suffered when his wife lost interest in his career, informed [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear CBS: This weekend my family is going to spend time together celebrating life &#8211;we are going to watch the Super Bowl. I hope that during the event you won&#8217;t air any frightening or violent commercials for prime-time television shows like CSI or for R-rated movies. My children get really frightened when they see those ads during Sunday afternoon games in the regular season. Actually, forgive me for suggesting you would air any inappropriate commercials this weekend. After all, I know you have gone to great lengths to protect my children. Thanks to you, my kids won&#8217;t hear the phrase &#8220;Go to hell&#8221; in any ads from Electronic Arts. That would have been just shocking. &#8220;Hell awaits&#8221; is much more family-friendly. And I am so relieved that because of you my children won&#8217;t see two men kissing in a ManCrunch ad. Seeing that ad might have forced me to teach my children acceptance and tolerance and they are much too young for that. Since you handled those other thorny issues so well, I am hoping you can help me with another tough parenting topic. When my young daughter asks about the half-naked, NFL cheerleaders gyrating on the sidelines during the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As you have probably heard, there is a major controversy brewing around one of the Super Bowl ads scheduled to run this year. CBS has accepted an ad from Focus on the Family featuring college football player and Heisman trophy winner Tim Tebow and his mother Pam. While living in the Philippines and pregnant with Tim, Pam Tebow says she was counseled to have an abortion because she had been taking harmful medication to treat dysentery. Pam chose to keep the baby and the result was her football star son. Focus on the Family describes itself as, &#8220;a global non-profit Christian organization with a vision for healing brokenness in families, communities and societies worldwide through Christ. The purpose of the ministry is to strengthen, defend and celebrate the institution of the traditional family and to highlight the unique and irreplaceable role that it plays in God’s larger story of redemption.&#8221; In January the group issued a press release about the ad. &#8220;The 30-second spot from the international family-help organization will feature college football star Tim Tebow and his mother, Pam. They will share a personal story centered on the theme of &#8220;Celebrate Family, Celebrate Life.&#8221; The Women&#8217;s Media Center (WMC) has called [...]]]></description>
