Snickers Superbowl Ad

Postby King » Tue Feb 06, 2007 5:48 pm

I thought it was the best commercial.

But then check this out...

People found it offensive. Well, gay people found it offensive. I found it hilarious. I just wonder if the prez of GLAAD saw it after or while giving his bf a bj.

Sometimes I think gay people only watch tv for the reruns of will and grace and for anything they perceive to be even remotely offensive so that they can fire up that righteous indignation they enjoy so much :)

how stupid.. i didnt see it but from the description.. it's not even anti-gay ! Whats wrong with 2 heterosexual dudes feeling queasy about kissing each other? Like god forbid you not want to make out with your buddy, or even have a dislike for that... You must be a gay-basher!!!
Jeez.. get a life or go back into the public restroom for christs sake!

There was also a bit of a fuss about the Keven Federline commercial for insulting 'burger flippers'.
There's nothing innately horrible about the whiners, people have whined since caveman days (oops, sorry geico caveman!). The shame today is people cave in like little pussies. Take the heat for christ's sakes, be a man, how bad a backlash can a bunch of burger flippers give you? Honestly how bad a backlash can Snickers possible suffer? Do they really think some Snicker's lover is going to put down the stupid candy bar they've been eating every day for the last twenty years over this commercial? My prediction: run the commercial and they'll lose about ten bucks worth of business--maybe the whiners have 20 friends or so who skip their Snicker's bar next week. After that it's business as usual. Hell, Tylenol sales rebounded after they found *cyanide* in a few batches back in the 80s.

Burger flippers know that their job isn't viewed as a respectable position. The commercial was actual more of an insult to K-Fed who is seen in the video talking about having it all but there you see him flipping burgers. Lol.

The Snickers commercial isn't anti-gay. Gays need to realize that straight men feel really uneasy about the express of love between two men on a physical level. Watching men make out is about as pleasing as watching a carcass get mutilated and no amount of tolerance training or sensitivity training will change that.
