Fox has rejected a controversial Super Bowl ad from conservative comedy site JesusHatesObama.com, according to the site's creator.

Richard Belfry insists the proposed 30-second-ad, which depicts bobble-head versions of President Obama and a scowling Jesus, is just a joke.

"Do I really believe that Jesus hates Obama? Absolutely not," Belfry, a comedian based in L.A. who sells Jesus Hates Obama apparel on his site, told the Daily News.

Good Marketing Strategy, get big buzz out of getting your ad banned from the Superbowl.

[ViLaLuz]

It’s irreverant to our Lord. So has he considered an Allah joke yet?

[Ev Reeman]

A good idea because Jesus was not a hateful person - ever!

Jesus even forgave his killers after being crucified.

But that does not mean that Obama does not inspire hate. He does.

Obama inspires hate from all people everywhere who cherish freedom and liberty.

Obama inspires hate from all Americans who cherish the meaning and importance of the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution.

I agree with this decision. Crazy anyone thought this would fly?

Good Marketing Strategy

Perfect marketing....just saved over $2 Million and got more than $2 Million dollars worth of advertising with the 'news' story.

Lame commercial

[JSDude1]

This is as stupid as the Westboro “Baptist” idiot non-sense!~

[Fred911]

Really Lame.
We are supposed to believe that this cheezy t-shirt peddler was really gonna spend the $2 - $3 million that is being charged for a 30 second spot???

I have no love for Obama, but the T-shirts aren’t even funny.

Like some dude selling bobble heads on the net makes enough doing it to buy a commercial during the Super Bowl.

This is funny though - from the site

See, it worked - I visited the site....

Very lame “comedy.”

[RightFighter]

He didn’t think it would fly. He thought it would be rejected and reported in the media.

“I agree with this decision. Crazy anyone thought this would fly?

“Almost sounds like something from Fred Phelps” I agree also with FOX.

Fox can stop the ad, but Jesus hates ZERO

” ‘Jesus hates Obama’ “

More likely the other way around.

“A good idea because Jesus was not a hateful person - ever!

Jesus even forgave his killers after being crucified.”

Can’t you see Jesus yelling at the money changes, dumping their tables over, spilling their money all over the floor, and chasing them with a whip?

(Matthew 21:12&13)

“changers”

[LuvFreeRepublic]

Well he got free advertisement, but it gives those who want to discredit the Word of God or Jesus one more thing to point to. Dumb.

[DeaconRed]

OK maybe Jesus doesn't hate him. Maybe it's just a strong dislike.
Jesus is incapable of hatred.

Isn't Obama one of God's creations?
