No More S******s at Snickers Ad

[SoulManX]

A lot of Super Bowl viewers didn't snicker at a Snickers commercial that aired during the game; instead, they complained so loudly that Masterfoods, a division of the Mars candy company, decided not to show the spot again and removed it from its website. The spot showed two men eating a single Snickers candy bar from opposite ends, accidentally kissing (like the spaghetti-eating pooches in Lady and the Tramp) when they reached the cener, and reacting with disgust and anger. The commercial was extended on the website with members of the Chicago Bears and Indianapolis Colts also registering their disgust at the kiss. Among organizations that complained about the spot were the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) and the Human Rights Campaign. In announcing its decision to yank the spot, a spokeswoman for Masterfoods observed that "humor is highly subjective." She added: "Feedback from our target consumers has been positive, and many media and Web site commentators on this year's Super Bowl lineup ranked the commercial among this year's best."

It always has to be one extreme or another with some people. It can't be somewhere in the middle.

Some of the GLAAD people were reported to say they expected a hate crime to result and they even went as far as saying they should rename Snickers as Matthew Sheppard.

Which just goes to show you ignorance, stupidty transcends, race, nationality, age, gender and sexuality.

I thought nearly ALL of this years SB commercials sucked horribly

First Adult Swim has to pay Boston $2 million for being a pack of ******s, now this...jeez.

 

[imdaly]

I thought the episode was hilarious!

"Quick, do something manly!"



Where's PETA? Shouldn't they be complaining about the cruelty to the CGI mouse in the Blockbuster video ad?

 

[Locs]

Seriously, did they even see the whole ad?

 

[tzarinna]

I honestly believe some people are born with out a funny bone.

 

[Warhammer]

People and the gay rights associations need to lighten up and get over it.

I agree with ****ehammer.

You'd think they would be a happy bunch with stealing the rainbow as their symbol and whatnot.

 

[jaguarr]

Taste the rainbow, Master Chief. Taste the rainbow.

I tried, but it rejected me because it must have sensed I wasn't a homosexual. I'll always have the next best thing. Skittles. The next best thing.

They call Skittles "Recruitment Pills". You heard it here first.

[Master Chief]

Oh shnap, seriously? lol. I hate how skittles stick to your teeth and how they take forever to f**king dissolve and whatnot though. It feels like they're in my mouth forever. They're like. The herpes of fantastical candy treats.

 

[Hush]

I think that has been like the biggest quote in my school since the Superbowl, "QUICK DO SOMETHING MANLY!". It was an instant classic. **** Glaad.

 

[Morg]

I didn't see anything wrong with it, thought is was funny as hell

 

[Matt]

wow.

[WTFimVENOM]

The other snickers ad was offensive! They should'ev used this one...

 

[terry78]

As much as I support the gay community, sometimes they get too big for their spandex britches. That's right, I said it.
