Not to be left out of the Super Bowl advertising controversy, or really, lack thereof, Glenn Beck opened his show today with a quick review of two of last night’s most talked-about ads. Namely, Tim Tebow and Betty White.
Beck mocked NOW’s “outrage” over the Tim Tebow ad — they apparently think Tebow tackling his mother glorifies violence against women. Which yes, seem like a bit of misplacement of resources. Beck followed up by wondering where was the outrage over Betty White’s ad?! Says Beck: “It’s not just violence against women, it’s violence again old women! Why the hate from NOW?” Or ball-busting ones, depending.
But the ad that really got under Beck’s skin was the $2.5 million Census advertisement paid for by the U.S. government. Money wasted!, says Beck, particularly from a president who likes to lecture us about fiscal responsibility.
“Do we really have to listen to this president preach to us about fiscal responsibility, maybe it’s just me but I think that’s a little like abstinence-only education taught by Tiger Woods. But what do I know. President Obama is a lot of smart things: he’s accomplished, he’s good-looking, he gives good speeches, he’s married to a woman with unbelievably well-toned arms, I hear. But he’s as fiscally responsible as a real housewife of Orange County at a Louis Vuitton sample sale.” Read more here.
