First Abortion-Services TV Ad in U.K. Sparks Criticism, Debate
By Delia Lloyd - Politics DailyThe first ad ever to offer advice on abortion services was screened on British television Monday night. In a country long known for its reserved demeanor, the ad has provoked vociferous praise and condemnation. Much like the Focus on the Family ad featuring Tim Tebow that aired in the United States during the Super Bowl this year, the so-called "abortion ad" is fairly ambiguous. The 30-second spot features a number of women from different walks of life who are "late." A voice-over then says that "Being late for a period could mean pregnancy. If you're pregnant and not sure what to do, Marie ...
Dobson's Successor Gives Mega-Ministry New Focus
By Andrea Stone - AOL NewsCOLORADO SPRINGS (April 24) -- Jim Daly is certain there is "a right way and a wrong way" to live one's life, and it's all about Jesus Christ and a literal reading of the Bible. But the new leader of the evangelical ministry Focus on the Family isn't going to get in your face if you disagree. At a time when the conservative movement is dominated by raucous tea party demonstrations for lower taxes and smaller government, Daly seems oddly disconnected. "Don't know much about it, to be honest with you," he said, even though a recent poll showed that many tea party supporters are social ...
Great Debate: To Tebow or Not Tebow
By Thomas George - AOL NewsAnyone else on Tim Tebow's merit as an NFL quarterback? We have heard from (just skimming the tip of the list) Tony Dungy, Florida Gov. Charlie Crist, Jim Kelly, Colt McCoy, Jon Gruden, Jimmy Johnson, Marc Trestman and Florida receiver Deonte Thompson -- all on Tebow. A combustible mix of he can and he cannot become a prize NFL quarterback. Tim Tebow has become a modern NFL Draft wonder. With the draft 16 days away, NFL personnel executives say he is one of the most curious wild-cards they have ever seen. Consider these clashing thoughts from two NFL general managers, the first from the AFC ...
Florida Needs to Contemplate Urban Renewal Program
By David Whitley - AOL NewsIt's a good thing Urban Meyer took that 23-minute leave of absence after the season. Otherwise, he might have sicced his entire defensive line on an unsuspecting reporter. As it was, Florida's coach just made a bullying spectacle of himself. The video has fans snickering from USC to Alabama to Harvard Medical, which is quickly formulating a new graduate course: PSYCH 4710: Fifteen Signs Your Coach Needs A Long Vacation. Sign 1 – Paranoid delusions after practice. Meyer went Capt. Queeg on Jeremy Fowler of the Orlando Sentinel on Wednesday. He thought he was defending a player who'd been ...
Trying to Fix Some Guy Named Tebow
By Chris Harry - AOL NewsINDIANAPOLIS -- The announcement went out to the crowded media center at the NFL combine Friday afternoon like so: "Some guy named Tebow is at Podium C." Even through the PA system, the deadpanned sarcasm was clear -- heck, punters from Southern Illinois get full-name introductions -- but on another level the delivery was fitting. For someone who won two national championships, a Heisman Trophy, accounted for 145 touchdowns, set five NCAA, 14 Southeastern Conference and 28 school records at the University of Florida, this guy named Tebow (first name Tim, by the way) isn't getting much ...
A Shout-Out for Pam Tebow's Choice
By Christine Wicker - Politics DailySarah Palin is right. Everyone who is pro-woman should support the Tim and Pam Tebow Super Bowl ad, paid for by Focus on the Family. Those who oppose the ad suspect CBS is playing favorites (Ria has pointed out the hypocrisy of CBS's position as arbitrator of what we should be allowed to see). Regardless, I like this ad. ...
The Super Bowl as Culture-War Battleground
By Jeffrey Weiss - Politics DailySo here's American culture in 2010: A controversy about whether TV ads shown during the Super Bowl are "fair." Is that an argument that anybody really wants to start? The ads in question are about abortion -- starring just-former college football star Tim Tebow -- and gay dating -- for a company called ManCrunch. ...
Tim Tebow and ManCrunch: 2 Hot-Potato Super Bowl Ads
By Ria Misra - Politics DailyIt's a week before kickoff, and two television ads already are causing controversy over what's appropriate to show during the Super Bowl: one ad because it will be aired, the other because it won't. CBS rejected a commercial on Friday for gay dating Web site, ManCrunch, saying it didn't meet network standards. The ad features a Packers fan and a Vikings fan taunting one another across the couch, until an accidental brush of their hands in the chip bowl sends sparks of an entirely different sort flying and (much to the discomfort of a stoic third friend watching the game with them) the two ...
Sarah Palin, NOW Spar Over Tim Tebow's Super Bowl Ad
By David Sessions - Politics DailyThe National Organization for Women is firing back at Sarah Palin, who took issue with the group's opposition to a pro-life Super Bowl ad that will feature college football player Tim Tebow, Politico reports. NOW said that Palin, who defended the Focus on the Family-sponsored ad and urged CBS not to "cave" to pressures to pull it, was "missing our point." The 30-second spot will feature Tebow and his mother, Pam, telling the story of her decision not to end her difficult pregnancy with the future Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback in 1987. Tebow has said his mother's courage often persuades ...
Tebow the Main Attraction at Senior Bowl
By Chris Harry - AOL NewsFAIRHOPE, Ala. -- He may be a marginal NFL prospect -- at least that's what many in the know are telling us -- but Tim Tebow had that rock-star glow as he kicked off his pursuit of a pro career Monday. Welcome to the 2010 Senior Bowl, which might as well have been called "Tebowpalooza." Those packed bleachers, screaming youngsters and ogling grown women -- many decked in Alabama gear, by the way -- didn't make the trip to this tiny gulf coast community to catch a glimpse of Montario Hardesty, Syd'Quan Thompson or Leigh Tiffin. "No," nodded Washington Redskins general manager Bruce Allen. "I ...
