The commercial, which won a celebrity-judged competition for the honor of being MoveOn&#8217;s Super Bowl ad, depicts children performing a variety of blue-collar jobs &#8212; washing dishes, collecting garbage, working on an assembly line. The tagline near the end of the commercial asks, &#8220;Guess who&#8217;s going to pay off President Bush&#8217;s \\$1 trillion deficit?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>  The network also spiked a commercial submitted by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.
