Politics and religion aside, what's being allowed on TV is just nuts. With commercials, what happens is a company hires an ad firm, that ad firm pitches an idea, which is accepted by their client. The spots are produced and sent to the media where time has been purchased. The media accepts or declines the ad and it gets shown to the public.

What that process, it's all about money. The company thinks they'll get a return on their investment. The media network runs the ad that they accept because they're getting paid. Money is more important than the message of the ad or how the ad is portrayed.

That's a bit different than a TV personality or religious figure who does something on their show or in their life. Sure, there's still money involved but with the TV ad, there are lots of checkpoints. The concept is first accepted, once the ad is produced, it's accepted and then the media that shows the ad also accepts it. With an ad, a particular message and how it's being shown is being carefully produced that way and it's on purpose. It's a planned thing versus showing natural, human nature, which is sinful.

Nobody's perfect, so pick anyone on TV and there are plenty of examples no matter which way the pendulum swings. That's obvious and not a new concept to me.

Like you, I'm appalled at how ads that are made to push the envelope and cross the line. There's control over those things and look at what is let through. I don't think it's about favoritism. It's simply about money. BK isn't making ads for political reasons, they're a business trying to make money. That's pretty clear.
