The pro-life television commercial featuring Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow and his mother Pam, which aired during the Super Bowl on Sunday, has some people wondering what all the fuss was about.
“I think they took a very interesting strategy. It’s clearly an effort to steer away from controversy,” said said Tim Calkins, a marketing professor at Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University. “I suspect the people they were going after understood the message, but for most people, I don’t think the ad really did a lot for them.”

CBNNews.com - The atheist known for trying to remove the phrase “one nation under God” from the Pledge of Allegiance also wants to ban references to God during the Presidential inauguration.
Michael Newdow filed a lawsuit this week to have “so help me God” removed from the oath of office.
He believes the phrase and invocation prayer to be given by Pastor Rick Warren are unconstitutional.
Peter Sprigg of the Family Research Council disagrees.
“Having a simple prayer at an inaugural ceremony doesn’t come anywhere close to” violating the establishment clause in the First Amendment, he told Fox News.
“If a lawsuit like this were to succeed, we would in effect be establishing atheism as the national religion,” Sprigg added.
Newdow sued to remove references to God from inaugurations in 2001 and 2005, but lost both cases.

CBNNews.com. — Three Ohio women have launched a unique campaign urging people to say “Merry Christmas” more and “Happy Holidays” less. It’s their attempt to keep Christ in Christmas.
Three women took a leap of faith and did something about it after they had grown tired of hearing the phrase “Happy Holidays.”
“I don’t know why it’s politically incorrect to say ‘Merry Christmas,’” said Joanne Brown. “I want to keep Christ in this. This is what it’s all about. This is his birthday.”
Last year, the three raised money to buy billboard space to convey the real reason for season. The messages read, ‘It’s OK to say Merry Christmas’ and ‘I miss hearing you say Merry Christmas.’ Both billboards were signed by Jesus.
The idea caught on and donations poured in, allowing the women to post a total of four billboards last year.
“We prayed for one and we had hoped that we would get one billboard, and we actually ended up with the four,” Brown explained.
This year, the three women have raised even more money, sponsoring ten red and white “Merry Christmas’ billboards.
” (The) comments and the letters we’ve received have been extremely supportive,” said Pat See. “The money that’s come in has told us that a lot of people agree with the message.”
The ladies hope to reach at least 135,000 people a day with the billboards.
