Re: Someone's Paranoid!
That's horrible. I've noticed on Will and Grace, on the NBC network, they always make those stupid jokes and crap on there. So maybe it makes them somehow "feel better." I think in some ways they're homophobic by the sounds of it. Those are lowsy excuses to not air something like that. It's 30 seconds of acceptance. Not 30 minutes of idiocity.
Grr.. sorry. It made me mad too.

Re: Someone's Paranoid!
Hi OI!!
I saw that article. Amazing - isn't it. But really - I bet more people have heard about the ad [and its' message] because of what's happened then would have IF it was shown as first planned. Sometimes - 'these things' have a way of working out just as they should.
But that said... when I first read the CNN article - I burst out laughing when I read the Reverand's NAME. Some of our British HT member's might also appreciate why I thought that was so funny. [and I mean no disprespect to the Reverand]
GREAT BIG HUG

Re: Someone's Paranoid!
honestly, im not surprised at all. i dont necessarily think its a terrible thing either. networks have a choice of what ads they want ran on their channel. but obviously when cnn uses a word like BAN in the news story, it definitely seems worse then it is. it was just denyed while going through the process that all comericals go through before they get aired. hell i dont even think cbs needed to give an explaination other then "no, we dont want that shown."

Re: Someone's Paranoid!
I think that's a really nice ad. That would make me want to go to that church, I'm not even religious.
That makes me really angry that that was turned away.

Re: Someone's Paranoid!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
::starts screaming!!!::
OH MY FUCKING GOD!!!
How can you call that FAIR?!?! That is SUCH blatant discrimination! ARGGG!!!
I HATE IT! I HATE IT! I hate how people assume that sexual orientation determines everything about the person! Can't they get over the SIMPLE fucking fact that they fuck the same gender? Either way - that's their business. Not anybody elses.
ARGGGGGGGG!!!
Cheers,
Jenna
P.S. ::le sigh:: I pity this country's ignorance.

Re: Someone's Paranoid!
It's funny. Wasn't it NBC that aired the first male w/ male kiss on a network television show (Will and Grace)? Yet they suddenly have a policy of not airing such so-called "controversial" commercials?
The apple falls far from the tree
she's rotten and so beautiful
I'd like to keep her here with me
and tell her that she's beautiful
She takes the pills to fall asleep
and dreams that she's invisible
Tormented dreams she stays awake
recalls when she was capable...

Re: Someone's Paranoid!
oh and to add, it's not like the commercial is even like "the UCC welcomes gays!" It just says "No matter who you are or where you are on life's journey, you are welcome here" and "Jesus didn't turn people away, neither do we". I had to watch the commercial a few times before i even noticed the assumed "gay couple" that couldn't get through the gate at the beginning. It's not directly targeting gay people, it also deals with people of different race and age. I don't think it's nearly as controversial as NBC and CBS want to make it seem. Fucking homophobes.
