I think the commercial is horrible.
The view of two men looking like they are kissing is repulsive.
Isn't this the image vigorously being propagated by the drive-by-media and Hollywierd?

So, how many days before we find out the head of the ad agency has an alcohol problem and is going to therapy?

I found the commercial very funny and Snickers should have told the critics to get bent.
To: Millee
Amazingly, this ad seemingly offended both the anti-gay agenda and the pro-gay agenda crowd. i found the ad just bad. It does not make me want to go out and buy a snickers, and isn't that the point of an ad?

Snickers, the Brokeback Candy bar!

I agree, the commercial was just dumb!
Of course, I don't like seeing two men (or two women) plant one on each other at any time.
But it was sophmoric more than offensive!

I found the commercial very funny and Snickers should have told the critics to get bent. It was just a ripoff from Trains, Planes and Automobiles. They would have been better sticking with the original punchline of 'See that Bears game last week'.

I thought it was funny also.
Here's why people are having problems with the commercial. Some people don't have a sense of humor strong enough to overcome the initial repulsion most heterosexual (and I'd suspect many gay folks who have physical standards) experience upon seeing hairy fat dudes kiss.
The rest of the people don't like that most of us still find the image of two normal, blue collar, fat-ass american men ridiculously funny and repulsive.
It means thier 30 year propaganda campaign has not been able to make man to man anal sex something other than disgusting in the minds of most Americans. We say "not that there's anything wrong with that" while thinking eeewww.

Sorry, I was just trying to stick to the juvenile humor that was displayed in the ad he wrote about.
