Well, it was probably a good thing that Focus on the Family, a Christian organization, decided to air their new John 3:16 commercial during the first quarter of the Patriots/Broncos game last night. After the blow-out that the game became…viewership had to have taken a hit.
Regardless, the John 3:16 commercial is causing quite the stir this morning. Not quite as much as the anti-abortion ad that featured then college-quarterback, Tim Tebow and his mom, but people are talking this morning. The ad which aired last night, featured all children, each reciting a piece of the famous biblical verse, emphasizing that God loves “the whole world” during the cuts. Is it fair of Focus on the Family to air this during the Broncos game? Tebow hasn’t confirmed his connection to the organization, or if he knew the ad was going to run but are they capitalizing on Tebow’s faith?
Fun Idol Fact: Aspiring singer Janell Wheeler — reportedly the former girlfriend of University of Florida quarterback Tim Tebow — has reportedly been selected as a one of the semi-finalists on the current ninth season American Idol, Real GM Sports has learned.
The Indianapolis Colts will meet the New Orleans Saints in Super Bowl XLIV in Miami tonight, in what promises to be a compelling contrast of styles. Wanna know what’s got Americans even more compelled? Super Bowl ads — particularly a very political one that features a former Heisman Trophy winner and his doting mother.
Tim Tebow and his mom Pam Tebow have recorded a pair of commercials created by pro-life interest group Focus on the Family and scheduled to during the 2010 Super Bowl XLIV. During her pregnancy with Tim in the mid-80s, Pam fell ill and was urged by doctors to terminate the pregnancy. She did not, and because of that decision the world has been introduced to Tim, now a University of Florida legend.
After much anticipation, the first ad has now been released. It does not contain any overtly pro-life message and is much tamer than many football fan expected. A second ad will air during tonight’s game.
