When it comes to satirical political ads, some are less successful and less subtle than others, like this JesusHatesObama commercial.
The website JesusHatesObama.com pitched the ad to Fox for a coveted Super Bowl spot, but unsurprisingly, the network rejected it on the grounds that it was "unacceptable" to be aired. My guess is that they felt the lighting was off, although it might also have had something to do with the fact that the ad was a JesusHatesObama commercial featuring the likeness of the president of the United States being drowned by Jesus. On second thought, maybe it was just the latter.
