Fox said that it had rejected the spot because, “Contraceptive advertising must stress health-related uses rather than the prevention
of pregnancy.”

No one would ever think that prevention of pregnancy could be a health-related matter...

FOX gets dumber every day, though I'm uncertain how that's possible.
