Fox Rejects 'Jesus Hates Obama' Super Bowl Ad
There is a line Fox won't cross, and a proposed Super Bowl ad from jesushatesobama.com crosses that line. Fox has rejected the ad, the Huffington Post reports.
The 30-second ad—set to the tune of the Civil-War era "Battle Hymn of the Republic"—shows bobble-headed versions of Obama and Jesus, with a scornful look on Jesus' face.
The camera zooms in on Jesus, and just like that, Obama falls into a fishbowl waiting below. Jesus, suddenly sporting a "Jesus Hates Obama" T-Shirt, looks pleased.
The website admits that the company doesn't really believe Jesus hates Obama. "However, we do believe in freedom ... as in the freedom to make fun of the Obama administration with novelty T-shirts," the website reads. "Our products may be a joke but so are the policies of this administration."
