Poor Al, first manbearpig and now big oil.

Something's missing from the story - what reason did ABC give for turning down the ad?

hahaha. I loved manbearpig.
Isn't it amazing that getting green energy into the US is still an uphill battle?

So...liberal media bias, right?

Im super serial you guys.

Im confused- what did ABC say when asked why they pulled the ad?

It seems ABC has not responded yet. I never watch ABC anyway. Im an NBC girl.

Roarman -me too!

ABC's silence doesn't speak well for it - if it was rejected for a valid reason, wouldn't that be easy to say?

Snaps, Jude!

And yeah, I'm curious about the official reason ABC gave. (I looked, not in the linked article.)

According to this article, ABC deemed the ad "too controversial" to run after the presidential debate. They said, "All of our advertising is reviewed on a case-by-case basis, and the context of this particular ad was determined not to be acceptable per our policy on controversial issue advertising."

Thanks for that!

Though I probably could have guessed I would not find their reason in any way convincing. It's not controversial at all!

It's a useless excuse that totally bolsters Gore's case. Big oil can claim that it's helping the environment, Archer Daniels can claim it's food is not really killing us and the planet, but a pitch for clean energy is too controversial.

Ummm too controversial this add techinically isn't about either canidate so why not? Are they willing to run the Ad at any other time other tan the too controversial post debate time spot? Seriously I think airing people saying Obama's middle name like it's a curse word on T.V. every other night is too controverial too, but ABC does it. Wow thumbs down ABC thumbs Down.
