Website Promoting Cheating Denied Superbowl Air Time


Ashleymadison.com wasn't allowed to purchase commercial air time during the Superbowl according to CNBC. What were they thinking? Did they really think that they could get away with this? Obviously they were thinking that cheating on your spouse is okay because "life is short." And yes, they actually thought they could get away with it! In fact the Noel Biderman, the CEO of ashleymadison.com is outraged that they can't get away with it:

"I find the rejection to be ridiculous given that a huge percentage of the NFL's marketing content is for products like alcohol, which they sell in their stadiums, promote on their air and clearly have in the magazine..."

"That's a product that literally kills tens of thousands of people each year. So if the NFL is worried about legislating behavior and regulating what their audience should be exposed to then it should start with a ban on all alcohol advertising and products being sold, not AshleyMadison.com."

"We don't intend to let this pass, this is our core audience and we will find a way to let them know about the existence of this service."

So I guess we can expect to see these cheating ads more prevelantly because you know divorce rates just aren't high enough in this country.

Oh and by the way, if you pay money to this service to have an affair, aren't you paying for sex? And isn't that illegal? [CNBC]
