Block that ad MoveOn... This story is really breaking on the blogoshpere. Either way, something interesting is happening: a clash between old and new media! Block that ad MoveOn wants to run the winning ad in its Bush In 30 Seconds contest during the Super Bowl. Advertising Age quotes a CBS spokesperson saying that "he didn't think it was likely that the spot would pass standards and practices." The MoveOn "Child's Pay" ad is a substantive argument about the deficit, contains no allusions to Nazism and features images far tamer than overgrown men battering one another for possession of a scrap of pigskin. If CBS refuses to run it, MoveOn should mobilize a mass boycott of the network. Hell, we wouldn't miss much. [Scott Rosenberg's Links & Comment] 11:43:16 AM    trackback []
