Block that ad

January 14, 2004 by Scott Rosenberg

MoveOn wants to run the winning ad in its “Bush in 30 Seconds” contest during the Super Bowl.
Advertising Age quotes a CBS spokesperson saying that “he didn’t think it was likely that the spot would pass standards and practices.”

The MoveOn “Child’s Pay” ad is a substantive argument about the deficit, contains no allusions to Nazism and features images far tamer than overgrown men battering one another for possession of a scrap of pigskin. If CBS refuses to run it, MoveOn should mobilize a mass boycott of the network. Hell, we wouldn’t miss much.
