Must-See ?Choose Life? Ad

Watch all of the “odds against” the baby’s future.

Then, wait for the punchline at the end.

Excellent ad.

Update: NBC won’t air the ad during the Super Bowl; interesting, huh?:

Brian Burch, president of the pro-life group, told LifeNews.com he is upset that NBC officials rejected what he calls a uplifting and positive pro-life ad. …

Burch said NBC told Fidelis that they do not allow political or issue advocacy advertisements.

“But that?s not what they told PETA,” he said about the network’s recent decision to reject an ad from the animal rights group. ?There?s no doubt that PETA is an advocacy group. NBC rejected PETA?s ad for another reason altogether.?

According to an email posted on the PETA web site, Victoria Morgan, Vice President of Advertising Standards for Universal, said, “The PETA spot submitted to Advertising Standards depicts a level of sexuality exceeding our standards.?

Morgan also talked about edits that need to be made? in order for the PETA spot to run during the Super Bowl.

Burch responded to that rejection further by saying, ?NBC claims it doesn’t allow advocacy ads, but that?s not true. They were willing to air an ad by PETA if they would simply tone down the sexual suggestiveness. Our ad is far less provocative, and hardly controversial by comparison.”
