Which of these links can I click on that won't give FoF and their other horrid little evil partners any positive outcome?

This is going to be a heck of a Blue post.

Focus on the Family, as long as they're a straight Christian family. Is it bad to hope for another "nip slip" to distract everyone from this ad?

Please may it not go on MeFi. I don't know. I mean, my gut reaction is to avoid giving any media attention to this. Of course that's not going to happen in the face of it being, you know, a SUPERBOWL AD.

I wonder how the organizations that support reproductive rights will respond to this.

(In answer to your question, Stew: all of them.)

(And if somebody would like to work up a Blue post on this topic, you have my blessing. Uh, bad choice of words.)

(box: thanks. I had a momentary surge of anger, and got huffy and assumed there was a link in there somewhere that would benefit FoF. of course upon looking closer i realized that there wasn't. Sorry!)

Hold on, hasn't the NFL refused to run ads from PETA and the like during the Superbowl? Because they were too controversial?

I would boycott the Superbowl, but I haven't watched it in years anyway.

Please may it not go on MeFi. - ... but just imagine the MeTalk it would generate. heheh

You know, it was good that Tim Tebow's mother was able to make her own private medical decisions, wasn't it?

Turned out to be the right decision for her, despite what other people thought.

Good thing women have control over their own reproductive choices, right?

I wonder how the organizations that support reproductive rights will respond to this.

I'm not Tim Tebow, but I'd be willing to go on TV and talk about how I wouldn't have been born, and neither would me brother, if my mother hadn't had a choice. Two choices, actually. So their stupid freakin' "choose life" campaign is actually very, very shortsighted. You know, considering (a) 1 in 4 women have abortions and (b) most of them either already have kids or go on to have kids.

Hold on, hasn't the NFL refused to run ads from PETA and the like during the Superbowl? Because they were too controversial?

Yeah, I'll be surprised if it actually airs.

Yeah, I can't read stuff like this anymore. Too much ARGH.

They should just bring back the Bud Bowl. Now that was a celebration of choice, damn it!

I'm pretty sure Tebow was actually at U of Florida, not U of Miami (I used to live in Florida and people talked about him all the time). Not that it matters and not that I care, just wanted to be accurate.

Florida is a weird mix of cultures, but they have several pro-"family"/anti-abortion license plates, so this sadly doesn't even surprise me. I am surprised the Super Bowl is airing it though--is it too late for orgs supporting reproductive choice to come up w/ a counter-ad?

U of Florida, you're absolutely right--call it a typo.

Oh, fuck Tim Tebow.

I look forward to his less-than-illustrious three-year career as the most highly-paid back-up tight end in NFL history.

And good point, Miko.

My mom's not going to want to hear this. She was having fun watching him play for the Gators.

I swear a friend of mine sent me a humorous email a year or two ago that detailed a hypothetical day-in-the-life of Tebow. It involved him sleeping with dozens of women.

But now all this religious and anti-sex stuff? I'm so confused.

Yeah, I wasn't imagining things. Here it is.

Diary of Tim Tebow

10.14.06

7:02 AM: Awoken at Ole Miss Tri-Delt house by phone call from Florida Athletic Director Jeremy Foley. Foley reminds Tebow there's a game this afternoon. Tebow calls Foley a pickle smoker and tells him to send the plane.

7:05: Drops and does 40 naked push ups in front of a mirror.

7:07: Packs a duffel bag with tank top, pair of tight jeans, and no underwear. Announces "Tebow's going commando" to no one in particular.

7:08: Kills it.

7:09: Kills it again.

7:10: Calls Chris Leak, tells him "Tebow's rushing for two hundy today!"
Leak says he can't talk right now, needs to take one final look at the playbook. Tebow calls him a pussy.

7:15: Takes cologne shower. Uses Stetson.

7:21: Drives to the Oxford airport. Uses the shoulder to bypass traffic.

7:38: Leaves car in front of corporate hangar. Flips keys to airport police officer. Gives him a pat on the ass.

7:40: Passes through airport security. Refuses to remove 4" belt buckle for metal detector. Offers to show TSA his security wand.

7:42: Gets three orders of chicken parm at Sbarro.

7:43: Finishes chicken parm. Belches.

7:44: Calls Leak. Tells him his mom left her panties in Tebow's hot tub.
Hangs up.

7:55: Boards UST's G5. Asks stewardess where the fucking cheerleaders are. Orders vodka rocks, a pack of Marlboro Reds, and a meatball sub.

8:10: Plane takes off.

8:11: Tebow dials Urban Meyer on cell phone. Screams "Tebow's throwing for three hundy today!" Meyer shrieks, puts on a visor.

8:12: Stewardess asks Tebow to turn off his cell phone. Tebow asks stewardess to turn off her high beams.

8:19: Pilot turns off Fasten Seatbelts sign.

8:19:05: Tebow enters bathroom. Kills it.

8:24: Reads back issues of Guns & Ammo magazine.

8:53: Calls Leak. Tells Leak he shaved his mom's pubes into the shape of a T.

8:55: Calls Joakim Noah. Tells him he's partying with Tebow tonight, even though he's fucking French. Instructs Noah on the types of chicks he'll want lined-up for the night. Tebow wants an international theme.

9:03: Flight lands in Gainesville. Tebow commandeers cart for transporting disabled, drives through concourse at 25 mph. Stops at Sbarro, picks up 2 orders of chicken parm, stops at Borders, picks up Penthouse Letters.

9:12: Tebow steps into Spurrier's old Town Car. License plate GATOR1.
Florida State Troopers arrive to provide escort to stadium.

9:14: Tebow tells driver "Forget about pre-game drills. Take me to the Tri-Delt house."

9:25: Tebow tells driver to first drop by College GameDay's on-location studio. Tells Herbstreit he's a pickle smoker.

9:37: Stops off at gas station. Buys a case of Bud and 4 Slim Jims. Pays with Chris Leak's AmEx card.

10:01: Tebow arrives at Tri-Delt house. Announces he's ready to begin his "pre-game stretching routine."

10:02: Sorority president arrives with four pledges. Tebow says, "Which one of you is Leak's sister?" Tebow is joking. Tebow laughs.

10:40: Tebow takes a nap.

11:00: Tebow wakes up from a nap and lets fly with a 10-second parm fart. He gets Penthouse Letters from his bag and heads to the bathroom, grabbing a beer on the way. Tebow has no use for courtesy flushes.

11:20: Tebow looks at his 2006 Florida Gators wallet-sized schedule.
Looks like they're playing Auburn today. Wonders where the fuck this small Midwestern college is anyway.

11:30: Kills it.

11:40: Opens the bathroom door and demands high-quality toilet paper.

11:45: Lights a match.

11:46: Fire alarm goes off. Tebow is nonplussed.

11:55: Alarm disabled. Fire Marshal runs upstairs and yells "Who the hell is responsible for this?!?!" Fire Marshal sees it's Tim Tebow and retreats back down the stairs.

11:56: Uses cell phone to call Meyer and confirm he's starting this afternoon. Meyer shrieks.

12:00: Tebow exits Tri-Delt house. Tells driver "It's time."

12:09: Tebow arrives at the stadium. Sees Leak, gives him a wedgie.

12:11: Walks into locker room. Announces, "Three touchdowns for Tebow today!" Urban Meyer gasps, locks office door.

12:15: Changes for the game. Does not wear a cup. You don't need a cup with balls of steel.

Heh.

Heh indeed. I think Tebow & Urban Meyer are lovers.

Ugh. I'm glad my time at UF only overlapped one year of Saint Tebow, and that was the one where he spent most of his time on the bench behind Leak. Not that it wasn't great watching him play, but everyone falling over themselves to lick his cleats got to be a bit much.

(snarky something about if he can choose to start his pass throw from the waist, he can keep his mouth shut about what women choose to do with their bodies...)

Ladies, if you can't trust a popular college athlete to guide you in matters of reproductive choice, who can you trust?

Tebow has pretty long odds against Tivo.
