Super Bowls Ads: The Next Culture Wars Battleground

I have no problem with them advertising a gay dating site, but I really do not want to see two guys making out when I am trying to focus on the Super Bowl.  Tone the ad down, or find another venue for it. 

Geez LSU, I could see two girls making out breaking my focus of a game but not two guys. 

Both men involved in an act of sodomy can watch the Super Bowl at the same time.

This is the Super Bowl for crying out loud.Not the Bravo Channel

Where is the controversy? Same sexers can make out or do whatever they want for as long as they want and the word "abortion" will never, ever, come up. Ever!

I think it’s hysterical…very funny..They have all their clothes on what’s the big deal..who cares..

This is a shrewd move by ManCrunch.  They know that the ad will never run, and in light of the Super Bowl approving the Tebow ad, they know they will get stories like this in response to their reques.  Free advertisement, and little protest as few people will ever see the actual ad.  At the risk of(or maybe in the hopes of) riling the Gator fans, it would seem that a very humorous commercial could be created that makes use of Tim Tebow’s considerable commercial appeal.  Perhaps it could be Tim and Urban watching the Super Bowl at the Meyer house.  The two in the basement, lights dim.  Urban’s wife calls out that she and the kids are going shopping for a few hours.  Tim reaches for the popcorn.  His hand brushes up against Urban’s…And as L’etat pointed out so helpfully, both men could continue to watch the Super Bowl, a game neither will ever be involved in otherwise.

because they know it’s sin

While I don’t want to see two guys make out to begin with, I don’t think ads like this are helpful to the gay community.  They reinforce the idea that gay men are horn dogs that show no discretion in physical relationships.  The gay community should see it as a favor for not propogating commonl stereotypes.

As an advocate for the gay community, I am outraged!

i’m outraged by this outrageous outrage! is nothing sacred??? not even our biggest national holiday, the stupor bowl?! on a sunday no less!!! i could tell they were pansy pinkos the moment i laid eyes on them! they’re recruiting our children! the human species will die off if they have their way!!! he said "you suck"! i get it! dirty dirty dirty! 

Run all the ads prior to the game and let people pick and choose what they watch and leave the game alone.

The gay ad was supposed to have me sitting in between Brady Quinn and Derek Anderson. I was originally supposed to be skiing them off.

thank you, thank you. I am so so glad i didn’t see this ad in the middle of my superbowl by surprise.  be deviant if you want just stay the fkcu out of my fkn superbowl.

They should have had Brett Favre and gay ex-Viking Esera Tuaolo sitting on the couch . . .

"It’s OK, Brett. You were just trying to win the game. Listen, you look tense. How about a massage?"

Then there’s a knock on the door. Brett goes to open it. There’s Jeff Garcia. "Pizza delivery!"

PS—Buckeyesnut, that was some funny sh

I agree.  This site had no intention of having the commercial even run.  I feel like it isn’t even a high enough budget to run with Superbowl commercials.  Looks like a couple of guys just did it during their break at work.  They just want the publicity. 

And if two girls were making out, you know feminist groups would be all over that trying to take it down.

well no ****. who wants to watch a couple homo’s making out? How about a commercial with a couple fine lipstick lesbians making out?

Agreed 23Witness….They could even be Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders, wouldn’t mind that. 

deport all the gays to guatemala then send russell henderson and aaron mckinney to finnish the job

even though football is a macho as anything. Its a man game. And as a man game we want to see things that men like. We like beer commericals good food commericals hot chicks wrestling in bikins. That what i want to see and every other guy. We dont want to see man on man. Besides why are these f**** trying to intrude on our sport. They can have those commericals shown during a gay event where gay guys play. And its called the world cup.

The Real Man Coalition will strike back by running F-150 commercials all over Will And Grace reruns.

I have a suspicion that they wouldn’t have antied up with the millions to air it.  They were looking for a discrimination case.  Just a hunch with no way to prove it, and I admit this is a business, not an activist group, but most pro-gay groups have a way of going through the courts to get their way. 

What’s funny is that "Focus" was gearing themselves up for rejection. 

You can’t really compare Tim Tebow saying he’s glad his mom decided to have him (who wouldn’t say that?), to two gays making out on a couch.   It’s not the same ballpark, not even the same sport.  Since when did sports websites start weighing in on women’s (lesbian) lib issues and gay issues?  Besides, 90 percent who are outraged at the Tebow ad have no more chance of getting pregnant than the two gay dudes on the couch.   

hmm…tough one. it is a little bit overboard.  it was funny though.  anyways, if they want to say it doesnt meet their standards for that spot, so be it.  i just dont get how it is any more offensive (for lack of a better word) than some of the ones we see with women.  the other part, if they really cant verify the credit status of the company, for sure they have the right to not show it.Anyways, wouldnt it be super easy to edit the commercial.  Show their hands bumping against each other in the chip bowl, then go to the last shot with them making out and the guy in the chair.  I think just a few seconds of it would be unquestionably appropriate.

Wasnt even a funny commercial. stupid commercial, and nobody wants to see those 2 fags make out. Advertise your same sex dating site, but dont have those homos make out on TV, thats just not cool
