CBS Rejects Gay-Dating Ad for Super Bowl

[Ursus A. Horribilis]

Unless they are showing guys having sex with each other.......what the F is the problem?

This country is the epitome of HYPOCRISY.........I'm sure that we'll see plenty of Sandals Resort ads though.

They rejected Ashley Madison last yr, so I don't see any hypocrisy. Abortion to gay dating= apples to oranges.

And Ashley Madison could verify funds and this group couldn't from what i understand of it.

Ewe just watch..

Tebag will be "exposed" as liking it up the butt Bob.


It'll all cum out in the wash, with lots of Clorox, that is..

Our country is so uptight and hypocritcal about sexual relationships it is unbelieveable. Europeans think we are insane. We have no qualms with showing graphic violence to our children on TV every night and yet ban an ad invites people to a website. We raise our children on violence. No one is forcing anyone to do anything. Where are all the conservatives pounding their chests over freedom and liberty? Oh, yes, over on the FAUX Channel, that bastion of 'family values'..until you see the shows in their lineup.

Why is the approval of Europeans important to you?

Never said anything about 'their approval.' Just pointing out how our two societies have such different standards as to 'what goes' on tv and public when it comes to sex and violence, and it appears we have a much bigger problem with violence and sex despite our alleged 'stricter standards.' TVs and computers have on/off buttons and can/should be monitored by parents of young children. I tend to think we use both as psuedo babysitters and allow all the pollution on the boobtubes be soaked up by our kids.

I watched the ad.

Nothing terribly different in it than other ads-although I don't think I've seen an ad with two heteros making out like that. At any rate, I wasn't offended. If these guys have the money (which apparently is a pretty big "if") they should let them air it.

The funniest part of the commercial was the guy at the end, though.

But I think I know the whole problem. CBS is the AFC's network. WHY would they want a commercial with a guy in a Packers jersey and one in a Vikings jersey?? That ain't proppin' up the brand. Yea, we all get the "packer" symbology and that's witty, but if they've got two guys with Colts and Patriots jersey, this thing airs.

Forced-birth Ad by Hate Group - OK
Ad promoting love - BAD

Jon twisting so hard - UGLY

[89Hen]

With that "forced birth" bullshit, it's just more proof that the Pro Choice crowd isn't really Pro Choice, but instead Pro Abortion.

Just like the Pro-Religion crowd is really Anti-Gay.

Almost.

Europeans think we are insane.

Good for them. I know a lot of Europeans and they are insane.

Why, because they're rejecting the church in droves?

I love the religion hate crowd...it consumes them. Though, you're no D1B. Who knows why 89hen says they're insane...but, I doubt that's why. Could be a multitude of reasons.

They're not really insane, but they definitely have a different viewpoint and belief set than 90% of Amercians.

BTW, a majority of the ones I know are actually from my church, so obviously gatw's comment was off base.

Thankfully, networks never show Viagra or other male enhancement ads that contain sexual innuendo.

So the guy wasn't just working on his passing accuracy?

The more I've thought about this, I think that the advertiser may have gone a little strong right out of the box. The obvious issue is the guys making out on the couch. I think that made it pretty easy for CBS to say "No, we're not going to air that, we wouldn't air a man and a woman making out on a couch like that" becuase they probably didn't get any ads with a man and a woman making out. But what if in the ad the two guys touch hands and look at each other longingly and the ad for Mancrunch comes up? You could still have the guy staring at them funny.

That REALLY puts the pressure on CBS because it's just like (more tame even) than the ED pill ads.

EDIT: Oh, and by the way, Mancrunch got exactly what they wanted out of this situation. This exposure (pun completely intended) is almost as good, if not as good, as getting on the Super Bowl itself.

[Appaholic]

This wouldn't be a problem if the citzens of this Christian nation would just abort the gay babies.....

Totally agree. Everyone has seen the ad now and they didn't have to pay for jack. I'm a little disappointed dback did see point.

At least he is equal opportunity when it comes to his men.

And, much more economical.

Friggin intolerant people.

Oh, that's right, you're only tolerant of people who believe what you believe.

[ALPHAGRIZ1]

Wasnt being intolerant just never thought about that before, it was an interesting way to look at things.

I in no way want any abortions period let alone getting rid of gays. They have every right to be here just like everyone else, they just dont have the special rights to try and get laws changed to fit their chosen lifestyle.

You're right, I'm just filling in for him during his current retirement.

[Grizalltheway]

So why exactly are they "insane", Hen?
