Remember everyone: Join the one-minute boycott of the Super Bowl.
Edited on Sun Feb-01-04 02:57 PM by Finnfan
From the Moveon.org website:

The CBS network still refuses to run our winning ad in the Bush in 30 Seconds ad contest during the Super Bowl. This Sunday, during the Super Bowl half time show, join us in changing channels on CBS. At 8:10pm and 8:35pm EST, switch over to CNN to watch "Child's Pay" on a channel which doesn't censor its ads.

http://www.moveonvoterfund.org/boycott/

Who's with me?

Please keep this kicked through the game!

2. I'd suggest boycotting the whole halftime show
I'm going to boycott the whole halftime show, for my own well-being. I hate how they usually cram a bunch of unrelated pop acts into the same show.

Just because you like french fries and chocolate ice cream doesn't mean they go well together. :)

I'll probably watch CNN for all of halftime, and enjoy the ads.
