Remember everyone: Join the one-minute boycott of the Super Bowl.
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.

Please keep this kicked through the game!

3. and that gets the msg across
that the demographics are not what cbs thinks they are?
it would be more useful to turn the tv on minutes before the times the ad is showing and then switch stations. thats gets the point across better than trying to make a point by not participating at all. kind of like not voting.

6.  CBS must know they have viewers not watching at select times
Those people paying millions for a spot will demand a repayment. Money makes all of this work.

WE HAVE THE POWER.
