Absolutely excellent!
In addition, CBS's decision to air the advertisement is quite hypocritical, as, prior to this, they have always had a policy of rejecting ads that discuss controversial topics. For example, in the past, they've rejected ads from some gay rights organizations, MoveON, PETA, etc., yet somehow this ad and Focus on the Family (its sponsor) aren't controversial?
I definitely agree that it shouldn't be banned, but I also wish that CBS wouldn't have acted so hypocritically on this. In doing so, they've reinforced, affirmed, and encouraged the completely undeserved sense of entitlement that so many Christians display.
