Green Party TV ad airs after initial rejection by Google

A Green Party TV ad from the Jill Stein for President campaign is airing nationwide after Google TV Ads initially rejected it because of an intentionally bleeped out word. Google said the ad contained “inappropriate language” and refused to broker the ad on cable and satellite, even though the word in question was more implied than actually heard.

A newly savvy Green Party responded rapidly and forced Google to back down. I was heavily involved with the Green Party from 2001-2004 and it’s good to see them mount such a savvy response and effective response.

Here’s the ad.
