Get To Know Us First

The following ads were shown on tv stations across California on Tuesday, January 20th before, during and after the inauguration of President Obama. It was shown on Good Morning America, The Today Show, Despierta America (Univision), Levantate (Telemundo) broadcasts as well as on regional news stations, CNN, and even Fox News during it's evening news coverage that day. However, one station, Los Angeles Affiliate KABC-TV thought the ads were too controversial and refused to show them at all. What do you think? here they are:



I don't see anything wrong with them myself. Honestly, I've seen more controversy in ads about dating services or "the little blue pill" or even tampon commercials (Have you ever had a 6 year old come to you and ask what is a Tampax tampon that he saw on tv?) than these about American families living normal American lives. I wonder how many executives at KABC-TV are Prop 8 supporters? I wonder if that had anything to do with their decision? Hmmm.
