Superbowl Ads: GetToKnowUsFirst.org BANNED!

Another Superbowl ad was banned by NBC in select markets, this time because of a reported "no-advocacy" rule on Superbowl Sunday. However, ThinkProgress discovered at least two other ads that were allowed to run and fall into the advocacy category (anti-steroids and anti-tobacco). It turns out that it's only when you're advocating anti-hate that NBC decides it can't run your ads.

This would have been unnecessary to air during the Superbowl. Honestly it would have been awkward.
And maybe that was their point, but still, why do that?
