Your going to do what your going to do
I am a Kansas Basketball fan. Don't know why, just always have been. With that little insight, personally, if I were a NCAA basketball referee I would had T'ed up Bill Self for taking advantage of a stoppage of play in the KU - K- State game yesterday. But the game was close and I can understand why they didn't do it. They didn't want to interfere with what was a great game. You learn that if you ever take an officiating class and I respect those men for their decision.
Super Bowl Sunday, a day that is a defacto national holiday and for many people an excuse to call in sick the following Monday, the group Focus on the Family will run a 30 second commercial featuring Tim Tivo and his mother Pam. It is being called an anti-abortion ad. I think it's an opportunity for a young man to thank his mother for risking her life so that he could have his. Not exactly what I would be pimping if I were Dr. James Dobson (founder and leader of FotF) if I had the 2.5 mil to drop on a commercial during the big game, but you have to go with what you got.
Personally I would find a child of a woman who became pregnant out of wed lock and upon informing the father was abandon. A mother who had the option of abortion, but carried the child to term and let the cards fall where they may, but come hell or high water she was going to give that child the best life she possibly could. A child of a woman who made the decision not because of health concerns, family support or lack of it, or faith, but because she viewed the child she carried as a responsibility. I'm sure such a person exists in this day and age. They go along and make your life better every day by making sure your breakfast order is correct or that your dry cleaning is done to your satisfaction. I have met one that makes sure that the commercial air liner he is piloting lands safely and you reach your destination (no his names not Sullenburger.) But such is complacency of modern religion so Tim Tivo is what you get because he is famous and a born again Christian.
If I do begrudge FotF for one thing it's definitely not for this commercial, but it's for the help that 2.5 Million plus (production costs) would have provided for families in the position of the woman and child I described. Pam Tivo's ticket is punched after this years NFL Draft and if it isn't, then I will take exception to Tim Tivo and this commercial.
