For those of you who are not familiar with the Super Bowl, it is actually a championship game between two football teams (formerly from the AFL and NFL). The Super Bowl is likened to a holiday wherein families gather, celebrities watch the championship and its the second highest food consumption day in American history. Super Bowl is also the most watched and highest rated television show in American History that its 15 second commercial slot costs millions. And on Sunday, Feb 1, 2009, Pro-life advocates has finally booked a Pro-life ad by CatholicVote.com on the super bowl slot which costs 3 million dollars. The inspiring story on how they pulled it off is here. And the video of the said ad is after the jump. This is I think the first time that a catholic ad would be shown on Super Bowl because advertisers fight with each other just to get a slot on the Super Bowl gap.

bluepanjeet: I am an ex-capuchin seminarian who dream. I dream of becoming someone of service to my fellowmen. Though limited and often held by my own whims and caprices, humanness, flaws, warts and all, I’m striving to make my journey a meaningful and fruitful one. I try to make my dream inside and not outside of the world I am living in. My dream is simple, insignificant to others and trivial to some, but I dare take the leap against the flow the society’s standards. I dream big, but I start from small steps. I look at the big picture, but begin with the tiniest of all details. I do extraordinary things in the ordinariness of all events. Like Francis of Assisi before me, I have a dream, a simple and small dream. This blog is the start of a much bigger dream, a realization, an effort to make a difference in the world and its inhabitants. Join me as I journey in the secular world, blogging about my daily traversals which are often times accompanied by the moral lessons of life's humor and irony, the integration of the human and the Divine, my search for my proper place in the greater scheme of things and my never ending flight towards my aspirations, yearnings and goals On The Wings Of My Dream.
