Advertisements in Superbowl - Snickers commercial

Last evening, as I watched the Superbowl with my nine year old son, I became extremely annoyed at the MARS Corporation and their advertisement for Snickers which showed two guys locking lips. I can't even fathom why somebody thought that this would be a good advertisement for that particular product and why they chose to air it during this event, especially when they knew children would be watching. If their aim was to draw controversy in the hopes of increasing sales, then I sincerely hope they missed their mark. I hope that, instead, they lose sales because of their idiocy.

I called in and registered my strong disapproval this morning at 1-908-852-1000. (If you call, when you get the phone tree, just press "0")

Our family will not be buying MARS products ... Products that MARS makes/distributes: M&M'S, SNICKERS, MARS bars, Milky Way, Skittles, and TWIX.

Advertisements in Superbowl where not special..... any of them..
Amazing that could be.... considering the audience and budgets involved..
Whoever decided on PRINCE being the halftime show should be SLAPPED HARD..

"Prince?".. Prince was not HOT when he WAS hot..
Prince would never make it on America Idol..
VERY little talent there.. ALL guitar no TWANG...

PRINCE at the halftime in the SuperBowl?.. of all people..
It Made the SuperBowl entertainment look very Queer..

"Geez...what is with you people?"

Must be most conservative men aren't queer?

Even if you share the last beer with a buddy, you wipe the bottle off with your armpit before you drink!

I'm disgusted that others are disgusted with others being disgusted with what is being dicussed.

I think.

And I was never aware that the National Anthem was a dance piece.

Of course not. It's a drinking and debauchery song.

"To Anacreon in Heaven, where he sat in full glee...."

[Mr Ramsbotham]

You really should have checked who sang the National Anthem before posting.

Exactly. I should have assumed he was straight because he sucked so badly.

I thought Mr. Joel was sitting at the piano when he sung the National Anthem. I also thought it was quite a good rendition.

[Larry Lucido]

It's a Divine Right to feel insulted.

[rite_on]

How come your post lists a 900 telephone number?

[Fierce Allegiance]

I'm offended that you are disgusted that others are disgusted with others being disgusted with what is being dicussed.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

"To Anacreon in Heaven, where he sat in full glee...."

I can sing the Anthem to the tune of that piece, and it sounds a hell of a lot better than what I heard last night.

And I was never aware that the National Anthem was a dance piece.

Um....he played the piano and sang it. There was no dancing.

[Celtjew Libertarian]

It wasn't a particularly good ad, but it was an add about pro-homosexual ad either. It was an ad that played off of homosexual panic.

Lots of that seems to be going around this place, as well.

[Larry Lucido]

Nope, EEE gets the credit. I was slow - he thought of it first.

[tfecw]

That was definitely the worst commercial of the night. Disgusting.

I thought the Veterans against the war one was a lot worse.

[Tanniker Smith]

"SNICKERS ... so good you'll want to kiss another guy and rip hair off your chest!"

Nope, not really a catchy tagline.

[Betteboop]

I thought it was silly and funny! But then, I watched the Puppy Bowl on Animal Planet last night!!

You Freepers are all a bunch of bigoted - homophobes.

The Snickers (Mars) company wanted to show the true conclusion but was afraid of you bigoted homophobes and that you would quite buying their candy bars.

What they really wanted and proposed was when the two men met face to face they were supposed to smile, rip off their cloths and start having sex.

Shame on you. Because of your Christian (and other forms) of morality we missed a beautiful love scene between two sexy men.

What is this country coming to?

Personally, I think if Billy Joel were wearing Mossy Oak Breakup cammo with face paint, driving a 4x4 with a Remmington 700 .30-06 in a gun rack, he'd still be an effeminate little sissy.

Are you aware that before he became a famous singer, that Billy Joel was a boxer?

[wku man]

Watched it on i-Films, or something like that.

What's with "you" people? What...you mean us normal, heterosexual people who are disgusted with the sodomite agenda that's helping destroy this once great nation? Gee, I don't know...maybe it pi**es us off?

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
