| It Pisses me off too but it's the networks right to choose and play whatever commercials they want. As far as the networks are concerned, I don't think it goes any deeper than ratings and reputation. They fully understand the negative impact of "offending" people and want no part of it.
It all hinges around Freedom of Speech. Speech is communication and to communicate is to share a belief, thought or idea. Commercials are nothing more but a form of speech with the added motive to advertise a product or service.
So when people like that gun company are not givin a fair shake to advertise their product by sharing their beliefs and ideas is what pisses me off. Not so much about the subject matter of guns -- but about the principles of fairness and freedom.
But I can understand the networks position ... Kinda the same as if I went into work today and made the remark. " that monkey in the White House pisses me off"... HR would yank me up and probably would loose my job over what would been seen as an inappropriate racial slur.... Even tho I may really feel that way, it's not worth the risk to say such a thing..

| Wouldn't it be funny if enough gun owners stuck together and boycotted the Super Bowl....nobody watching the damn thing and it would break them from sucking the wrong dong. | |

| I won't be watching it anyways. To much of my own to do, not able to watch somebody else. That's just me. I was always involved with martial arts so watching wasn't in my blood. | |
