Members alphanguy74 Posted January 30, 2010 Members Share Posted January 30, 2010 Well, CBS has decided this commercial is too "hot" to air on their super bowl telecast. PLEASE!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MQWFiIrBLA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 30, 2010 Members Share Posted January 30, 2010 They should have talked about how they don't like abortion... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Eric83 Posted January 30, 2010 Members Share Posted January 30, 2010 After the Janet Jackson incident, I would turn down this too. I'm a gay man myself and am not offended they turned it down. This would put CBS under so much scrutiny. If a breast can cause a firestorm, so can two men pseudo-making out. It's just the kind of country we live in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted January 30, 2010 Members Share Posted January 30, 2010 Yup, I don't see CBS ever airing that commerical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 30, 2010 Members Share Posted January 30, 2010 CBS wouldn't even air a commercial that said, "Our church accepts everyone." Apparently the only gay ad CBS might allow is one that tells us homosexuality is wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted January 30, 2010 Administrator Share Posted January 30, 2010 They weren't even kissing! LOL I thought the end was pretty funny too with the friend having a weird look of "Um....what's going on?" And a Packer/Viking fan making out? Yeah right. Geez, some of America are so conversative.

Members lovely_m Posted January 30, 2010 Members Share Posted January 30, 2010 This wouldn't be the first Super Bowl commercial that has gay subtext in it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHkoZ7ngAM0&feature=player_embedded Didn't they show those Go Daddy.com commercials on the Super Bowl?

Members alphanguy74 Posted January 30, 2010 Author Members Share Posted January 30, 2010 It's a bunch of bullshit. CBS can air promos for CSI that show ROTTING CORPSES DURING THE LUNCH HOUR, but not his ad?? I'm outraged over it. but not surprised. I guess we can now be sure who was behind the NUKE kissing ban. I mean, if a country like Israel can air a commercial this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted January 30, 2010 Members Share Posted January 30, 2010 That commercial is so chic and stylish, I love it! It'd never air in the US. Seriously, things like this piss me off. They talk so much about how things are changing and gays are being featured more in shows, but damn, if you can't have a gay couple on the screen for a few seconds out of a 30 second commercial, how far have we really come? I think of those pretentious commercials that feature all sorts of couples. You know, little boy and little girl on the playground, Grandma and Grandpa in their rocking chairs, the teen football player and his cheerleader girlfriend, the newlyweds, etc. Would it kill them to slip in a clip of two men or two women in love? It doesn't have to be a big deal. Just have them in there alongside everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alphanguy74 Posted January 30, 2010 Author Members Share Posted January 30, 2010 And another thing, as Carl alluded to... theyv'e ALSO accepted an anti-abortion commercial produced by focus on the family, yet the gay commercial is "too controversial" to air.

Members Chris B Posted January 30, 2010 Members Share Posted January 30, 2010 Keep in mind the Snickers ads from last year had a gay kiss, but it was very homophobic, so it was allowed to air. The campaign had four different versions with different (all disgusted) reactions from football players from both teams. So basically it's okay to show a case kiss, as long as it's done in an offensive way to gay people that homophobes would find humorous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
