Fox Rejects Super Bowl Ad From JesusHatesObama.Com

Fox has rejected a proposed Super Bowl ad from a conservative comedy site called JesusHatesObama.com.

The ad shows two bobblehead dolls: one of Jesus and one of President Obama. As "Battle Hymn Of The Republic" plays, the video cuts between the two bobbleheads until Jesus seemingly makes the Obama bobblehead fall into a fish tank, whereupon the logo for the site comes up.

Fox said the ad was unacceptable and could not air during the Super Bowl.

A representative for the site said that it was founded by a man named Richard Belfry. On the site, people can order anti-Obama merchandise, such as t-shirts and hats. A block of text on the front page of the site explains, "do we really believe that Jesus hates Obama? Of course not! However, we do believe in freedom...as in the freedom to make fun of the Obama administration with novelty t-shirts...our products may be a joke but so are the policies of this administration."

When did Huffington Post turn into a news source like the Onion?

I can't recall anything in the Bible about Jesus hating democrats.

But he sure did get pissed at those money changers in the temple. The one and only time that Jesus ever really lost his temper.

He also said that it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter heaven. I hate to break it to Limbaugh, but his filthy rich self righteous butt doesn't stand a chance.

Maybe what Jesus really hates is Capitalism? Has that ever occurred to anyone?

Good grief. Almost as good as the Obama as Hitler posters. Almost. I'm still amazed how many conservatives have that hotline to Jesus and his Dad on speed dial.

Wow, that's so lame. The TP is totally devoid of humor, well, not counting the tacky, bad colonial costumes and poorly-worded signs.

I guess they figured that they could not quite slip that spot in under the radar and retain their "fair & balanced" spin.......... (you know, that journalist pretense of real news.)

Is that Jesus or a biker dude in a toga?

Both, actually. Jesus Fernando de la Vascas in a toga.

What an appropriate name for the leader of that outfit: Richard Belfry. This Belfry definitely has bats in it.

Not even funny. Obama certainly has got a rebellious nation on his hands. One I don't think Jesus really wants much more to with with thanks to the Republican pretenders.

There's no chance at all that Conservative rhetoric breeds an environment of nihilism and violence and racism... well, not without hiding it under a thin patina of lies.

Jesus never existed. Since their ads are being rejected soon the same will be said about JesusHatesObama.com

I suspect, by reading some of his sayings and parables, that Jesus hates religious bigots and certainly lies. Sigh . . .

I guess Fox likes its racism and theocracy at least a tiny bit veiled...

it's worth pointing out the obvious that the jesus bobblehead doesn't actually push the obama bobblehead, it is manually by humans so that it occurs....too funny that those who want to send a message about the supernatural always have to resort to fakery here in the real world....shouldn't that tell us something about the alleged supernatural?
