Leading up to the Super Bowl, much news and debate was stirred up over the plans of Focus on the Family, a famous conservative interest/action group, to air a Super Bowl commercial that espoused a pro-life position (with the help of the mom of University of Florida star quarterback Tim Tebo)
In the past, the Super Bowl commercials have been focused on "only one form of morality: worship of the Super Bowl itself and its sponsors...the Super Bowl advocated and promoted a mainstream, middle-of-the-road existence that steered clear of divisive or controversial subjects"
More people watch the Super Bowl than any other single event on television, making it a prime time to reach a large audience.
Do you think that political/controversial ads should be permitted in this forum or should the focus be on commercials that are not divisive?

I think that the more controversial commercials should be able to be there as well. If they are willing to pay the astronomical amounts for the time slots during the superbowl ($3.01 million for 30 seconds) then they should be able to air anything thats controversial as long as its appropriate .
Well the commercial ad of the Tebow family was different then the other ads and was on a more serious note than most ads. I think that it is okay to have controversial/political ads during the super bowl because like Briana said it costs $3.01 million for 30 seconds, so if the company is willing to pay for it then I think that it is fine.
