And here’s the ad from YouTube. (I couldn’t get it to embed for some reason)

I think it’s depressing that NBC and the Super Bowl said no to this!  If you read the article, you’ll see that their public reason for not airing the ad is that they don’t want to air commercials for advocacy groups.  Yet they were willing to work with PETA to make their ad air-appropriate?  Seems a little bit iffy to me . . .

And one of the things that surprised me the most was that it appears that one of the main characters is a Christian – and not a looney one at that! Check out this interesting post over at such small hands!
