Super Bowl commercials are always among the highlights of the CBS Super Bowl telecast, and the Sunday, February 7 broadcast of Super Bowl XLIV should be no exception. However, among the entertaining commercial offerings (which will surely include some by payday loan companies), there may be a Tim Tebow Superbowl ad that has pro-choice groups quite upset.
Who is Tim Tebow?
Tim Tebow is the second coming, if you believe Florida Gators football fans. He’s a former Heisman Trophy winning quarterback (2007) who led his team to three bowl victories during his college career. He’s been labeled a “can’t miss” prospect for the 2010 NFL Draft. He is also a devout Christian who is popular with the ladies. It is his faith that prompted him to team with the activist group Focus on the Family for a commercial entitled “Celebrate Family, Celebrate Life.”
That sounds well and good, but the 30-second ad has upset pro-choice groups like the Women’s Media Center with its upfront pro-life stance in the very public forum of national television. In a letter from the group, they made their view of CBS quite clear:
“By offering one of the most coveted advertising spots of the year to an anti-equality, anti-choice, homophobic organization, CBS is aligning itself with a political stance that will damage its reputation, alienate viewers, and discourage consumers from supporting its shows and advertisers.”

Morgan Harrington Body Found
A press conference was held after skeletal remains were found in the Anchorage Farm of David Bass, leading to suspicion that is could well be the body of missing Virginia Tech student Morgan Harrington.
During the the conference the assembled crowd was told by Colonel Steven Flaherty, the superintendent of the Virginia State Police, that, “based on evidence… we’re fairly confident that the remains are those of Morgan Dana Harrington.”
The remains that were found were soon moved to the Chief Medical Examiner in Richmond from the farm in Anchorage.
Flaherty also added that they, “cannot release the evidence that leads us to this conclusion at this particular time.”
Although owner of the farm Bass had told C-Vile that “there were some clothes” found near the remains.
Harrington who went missing from a rock concert, was last seen in a black Pantera t-shirt, black mini skirt, black tights and black knee high boots, as well as a Swarovski necklace.
Bass also spoke about the discovery as he was checking the fences in the morning in a location he arrived at with his tractor, ” I saw what looked like a dead deer. When i got a little closer, it didn’t look like a deer skull.”
Bass who has owned the farm since 1985, also stated that there was no real history of trespassing on his property. And he had no idea how the body could of gotten there, as the location where it was found is not accessible by car.

While attending the 2009 BAFTAs, Angelina Jolie wore a bejewelled serpent-shaped bracelet, much like the one from her new collection for Asprey. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have designed a jewelry collection for Asprey. All proceeds will go towards the charity Education Partnership for Children of Conflict.
