CONSERVATIVE WEBSITE BLASTS CBS'S SUPER BOWL PROMO

CBS and Neil Patrick Harris have come under attack from the executive
editor of the popular conservative news site WND (formerly World Net
Daily) (aka World Nutcase Daily) for "mocking Christianity" and "pushing
the gay agenda" in a Super Bowl ad currently airing on the network. The
ad shows Harris wearing black paint under his eyes, similar to the kind
worn by many football players, with "Feb 3" written in white ink under
one eye and "2013" under the other -- the date for Super Bowl XLVII. The
ad appears to be a spoof of New York Jets quarterback Tim Tebow's
practice of writing the numbers of bible verses on his eye paint. In his
WND editorial, Joe Kovacs wrote that CBS "is now using an outspoken
homosexual actor to mimic Tim Tebow's style of trumpeting messages."
Kovacs quoted one unnamed "football fan who watched the CBS promo" as
saying, "They're pushing a gay agenda by using him, and they're mocking
Christians at the same time." Neither CBS nor Harris has responded.

Harris is a funny guy, and even if he is spoofing Tebow's religiousity
(which is not proven), who gives a ****? Suddenly you can't spoof
religion? Why is that?


Tebow *is* eminently spoofable. Why should anybody care if Harris is
gay...?
