NBC Rejects Pro-Life Super Bowl Ad Educating Viewers on Obama and Abortion

 

After several days of negotiations, an NBC representative in Chicago told the group late yesterday that NBC and the NFL are not interested in advertisements involving "political advocacy or issues."

 

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.

 

“There is nothing objectionable in this positive, life-affirming advertisement. We show a beautiful ultrasound, something NBC’s parent company GE has done for years," Burch said.

 

"We congratulate Barack Obama on becoming the first African-American President. And we simply ask people to imagine the potential of every human life," he told LifeNews.com.

 

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.”

What's the message that will be sent?

 

Are you going to tell NBC what type of ads they must run?

 

I already sent that it is hypocritical to tell one group that we don't air ads with a political message, yet tell another advocacy group (PETA) that the reason their ad was rejected was for how racy it is, and if they toned it down, it could air.

If anyone wants the email address of the Vice President of Advertising Standards at NBC, it is victoria.morgan@nbc.com

Whatever they want to send. Why do you feel the need to question what they write?
