That's because it's off-topic.

The anti-drug ads are not political. They are educational health warnings. However couched they may be in propaganda, they contain no explicit promotion or denouncement of politicians or their agendas. The ideas in the ads may be prepetuated by a particular party, but the ideas are not pointed at a political party or a politician.

Airing an ad such as this one without an ad containing an opposing viewpoint within the same timeslot would be an implicit promotion of the ad's agenda by the network.

Besides, who wants to get political during the Super Bowl? It's like smoking in church.
