Ashley Madison -- the Web site for married folks that want to have a discreet romp with other married folk -- understood that a Super Bowl advertising spot could really boost their already huge (and still growing) list of members. That's why they made one. But NBC and the NFL decided to squash their dreams, rejecting the ad. Fortunately, it still ran on a local Houston station, and we scored a copy of it.
After viewing the totally SFW ad, you can tell the NFL and NBC pretty much based their decision on the content and premise of the Web site itself, and not this commercial. Because, frankly, that was tastefully done. You can scope the site itself for the full version, provided your dayjob doesn't block pr0n. (/shakes fist at corporate overlords)

Why are certain people married? NBC and the NFL, I'm guessing, and perhaps much of the country, are full of people who understand the concept of marriage. Or maybe they just have a lot of suitors and don't need to accpet Ashley's little offer. It's "quash" and "d-i-v-o-r-c-e." Losers.
