Accessible Airwaves
CBS and NBC won't run ads from the United Church of Christ because apparently that Church is too tolerant of blacks and gays or something. The ad is on the site, but I'll sum up.
People are trying to get into a church with Studio 54 style bouncers and velvet ropes. The bouncers let the pretty blonde couple through. But tell a black girl, "No I don't think so." Another white couple through, and then two men try to enter together, "Not you." say the bouncers. Voiceover, "Jesus didn't turn people away, and neither do we." Cut to a shot of United Church of Christ members standing on risers. There's the black girl that got turned away. There's a lesbian couple. There's a black couple. There's a white couple.
What's controversial about that?
