There is a line Fox won’t cross, and a proposed Super Bowl ad from jesushatesobama.com crosses that line.

Fox has rejected the ad, the Huffington Post reports. The 30-second ad — set to the tune of the Civil-War era “Battle Hymn of the Republic” — shows bobble-headed versions of Obama and Jesus, with a scornful look on Jesus’ face.

The camera zooms in on Jesus, and just like that, Obama falls into a fishbowl waiting below. Jesus, suddenly sporting a “Jesus Hates Obama” T-Shirt, looks pleased.

The website admits that the company doesn’t really believe Jesus hates Obama. “However, we do believe in freedom … as in the freedom to make fun of the Obama administration with novelty T-shirts,” the website reads. “Our products may be a joke but so are the policies of this administration.”
