Miami, Fl. A group of aborted fetuses (played by cast members of The Cleveland Show) will broadcast the first Super Bowl ad in their history February 7 during CBS Sports' coverage of the game at Dolphin Stadium in South Florida in response to the controversial Tim Tebow advertisement.
The 30-second spot from the international Aborted Fetuses League (AFL) will feature a fetus that would have been college football star Brett Crapper and his mother, Jenni. They will share a personal story centered on the theme of 'more disposable income available.'
“An ad that uses sports to divide rather than to unite has no place in the biggest national sports event of the year - an event designed to bring Americans together,” said Jehmu Greene, president of the New York-based Women’s Media Center.
“There’s nothing political and controversial about it,” said Craig Crawford, a spokesman for the AFL. “When the day arrives, and you sit down to watch the game on TV, those who oppose it will be quite surprised at what the ad is all about.”
Crawford, said the chance to partner with the Crappers and lift up a meaningful message about family and life comes at the right moment in the culture, because "families need to be inspired. Especially in this economy."
Crawford added that all the funds to air the ad came from a handful of "very wealthy and committed friends" who donated specifically to support the project. No money from the ministry's general fund was used.
The Crappers said they agreed to appear in the commercial because the issue is one they feel very strongly about.
"Now that the ad has been shot, we're excited to tell people it's coming, because the Crappers' story is such an important one for our culture to hear," Crawford said. "You won't want to miss it."
