Last night’s Super Bowl was dripping with pseudo-patriotism. The big game started not just with the singing of the National Anthem but a reading of the Declaration of Independence.
Yet when all was said and done, the figurative flag waving rang as false as Barack Obama’s ever-present Old Glory lapel pin. An ad created and paid for by a Georgia gunmaker never made it past the National Football League’s censors, who rejected it because of a league-wide prohibition against ads with “firearms, ammunition, or other weapons.”

One commentator said it perfectly:
This is the perfect marketing strategy. This commercial has been covered by all networks and the only cost were to make the commercial. The NFL and networks made no revenue off Daniel Defense. Brilliant!
