UPDATE: Snickers parent company Mars has pulled the anti-homosexual ads it was hosting on its website—expressing regret and saying it will never air them again.
# Earlier: Snickers aired an ad during the Super Bowl that featured two men reacting in violent disgust after accidentally kissing while eating a candy bar. While the ad may be a satirical dig at homophobes, the candy company appeared to affirm an anti-gay message on its website—where there were, until a few hours ago, videos of NFL players grimacing in similar disgust at the kiss. (Message to viewers: Manly men should be disgusted by the image of two men kissing.)

We have quit buying any Mars products and sent a note stating the reason why to their advertising department.

Political correctness is a disease that is born of liberalism. It is a cancer upon our society that needs to be cut out.

These genuises are getting slammed by both sides. Does anybody think things through anymore?
To: SLB
Did you see the ad? It was hardly an advertisement for gays, in fact, it was the opposite, and very funny. As the headline says, it is anti-gay, if anything, but really no more than the normal reaction of two normal men to an uncomforable situation. Has everyone completely lost their sense of humor? Oh, and no animals were harmed in the making of that ad, either.

I thought that commercial was disgusting. Although it should never have aired, it was an appropriate decision to pull it.

Their advertising department should share the same fate as the homeless robot in that GM ad.

I am disgusted at the site of two men kissing. There is nothing wrong with me. There is something wrong with the two men kissing.
It is okay to say true things.

We have quit buying any Mars products and sent a note stating the reason why to their advertising department. Because their commercials aren't funny?

So, gays are offended that every man in America wasn't swooning over the sight of two guys kissing?
Good grief.
