That commercial has us discussing it here.

And this morning, focus on the family was still the 7th most popular search on Google.

Yes... a lot of people watched the commercial. And I think focus on the family is getting its money's worth with regard to getting their message out.

Advertising with the NFL gives you the largest and most diverse audience in the Country. There were a lot of people introduced to focus on the family last night.
