No John 3:16 at the Super Bowl

Fox Broadcasting Company has rejected a request by Alabama-based Fixed Point Foundation to show a commercial during this weekend’s Super Bowl urging viewers to look up John 3:16. According to Fixed Point executive Larry Taunton on WorldNetDaily, Fox sent Fixed Point a “carefully worded letter” saying they wouldn’t approve the showing of any commercial featuring “religious doctrine.”  In a consequent statement, Fixed Point criticized Fox’s decision, saying “few movie trailers are deemed too violent or beer commercials too sexual for primetime. But religious messages, particularly Christian ones, well, that’s just too controversial.” About 100 million viewers are expected to take in the Super Bowl this year.
