So the controversy around the Tebow Mother-and-Son anti-choice Super Bowl ad turned out to be a lot of hype, hype perhaps pumped up by CBS which telecast the game.

Crooks and Liars makes a case for that:

Did you see the Tim Tebow ad that actually aired during the Super Bowl yesterday? The only one I saw was much different than what CBS told us was going to air during the game and which drew a ton of controversy all across the blogosphere and throughout the pro-choice movement. What I saw was not controversial and didn't even talk about the abortion issues that were supposed to be aired.

What incredible is, just like most of the ads during the game, it too showed violence.

Seriously, there's no enough blocking, tackling, hitting and kicking on the field that advertisers feel they need it in the commercials?

Don't take my word for it:
