Superbowl nixes Bush in 30 Seconds ad, Moveon.org takes it elsewhere

The winning ad among a thousand entries to Moveon.org (seen here on the "Bush in 30 Seconds" website) was rejected by CBS but is already showing on other channels according to this San Francisco Chronicle story:

MoveOn.org, the politically left-leaning Internet-based advocacy group whose Super Bowl commercial criticizing the nation's deficit was rejected by CBS, is separately attacking President Bush in ads running in four states.

The rejected ad had been selected the winner by a panel of judges in a competition staged by MoveOn.org. The ad, by Charlie Fisher of Denver, is called "Child's Pay,'' and shows children washing dishes in a restaurant, cleaning an office building, hauling trash and standing on an assembly line - with the tagline, "Guess who's going to pay off President Bush's $1 trillion deficit?''
