It was an irresistible story. A gay-hookup site called ManCrunch submitted an ad to CBS for inclusion during the Super Bowl.

Yesterday, we carried a story about CBS’s precedent-upending decision to run a “pro-life” advocacy ad by Focus on the Family during the Super Bowl. The ad is to feature Tim Tebow – the Heisman award-winning QB renowned, among other things, for his habit of quoting Hebrews with his eye-black. In it, Tim and his mother recount, allegedly without visible embarrassment, the saga of Tim’s conception, career as a fetus, and birth. You will be slightly less than astounded to learn that news of the ad has gone over very well with some, and very badly with others.
