Jesus might love everybody, but not the President of the United States according to the conservative comedy site JesusHatesObama.com. The site states that it doesn’t actually believe that Jesus hates Obama, and says in friendly Comic Sans font that they are just exercising free speech.
The creator, Richard Belfry, commented, “Do I really believe that Jesus hates Obama? Absolutely not.”
The company attempted to run a Superbowl ad for it’s “Jesus Hates Obama” message and merchandise. Superbowl ads are no strangers to controversy- remember the pro-life commercial that aired last year?- but in a somewhat surprising move, Fox refused to air the ad.
You can watch the rejected ad on Youtube
Do you think this is just a harmless joke, or an extreme statement? Was Fox right to reject the ad?
