    Check it out yo! I can't find the original, but someone started a thread to protest CBS' decision to reject a NORML ad for a Times billboard square for being "too political". So I (and 8000 others apparently) went to change.org and submitted emails via their form. CBS has now reversed their decision and the NORML ad will be printed.

    Here's the email I got from change.org:

    Pretty cool IMO. :hello:

    It makes one wonder if the FCC wasn't more behind approving/disallowing of the ad than CBS, ultimately? CBS has shows which make a LOT of references to marijuana (at least their sitcoms) so I don't think they are necessarily "anti." Who knows. The media is a social experiment. They're bouncing various messages off us and seeing what will take. :cool:

    This simply means the domino effect for television commercials. Especially with CBS as a start. Before we know it, we'll be seeing it on MTV, NBC, Adult Swim, Comedy Central, and everything else!

    The advertisement was produced to be aired on Time Square billboards.
