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.

Not the worst but pretty bad. There was little imagination at all. Way too much violence, etc. This year's commercials as whole were bad and I mean really bad. Only one half way decent was the Bud commerical with the dirt Dalmation with Dean Martin singing.

Incidentally, who was that they got to do the National Anthem. The fags have even taken over that!

LOL! Haahahahhaaahahahahahhhhaaaaaaaahaaaha.

Oh my sides. Let me collect myself for a minute. Ok.

Bwaahaahhahaaahhahaaaahahahah hahahah.

Are you actually that much of an idiot?

I like the Bud commercial with two 'teams' of Clydesdales standing on a snowy football field facing each other.
A zebra, standing between them, is looking into a replay video machine.

"It was juvenile and nothing more"

Yes, It was. And the juveniles that thought it might be a good ad can go back to their closet for another 50 years because the heartland don't want to see their perverted lifestyle or have it promoted as mainstream.

You may not like the facts, but the facts remain, America doesn't want to see it.

Retrosexuals (as opposed to metrosexuals) = real men. Manly men.

Who woul start eating the other end of someone's Snicker's Bar that they are eating when you were working on a car? Did you actually see the commercial?

Anyway, how accidental is it? If you start eating a candy bad that someone else is wating, you don't realize that you are going to meet?

[technochick99]

I'm not ready to go out and buy a case of Snickers, but if either of you start getting a tummy ache, I would love to step in and do the partiotic and conservative thing, and eat some of them on your behalf.

[NRA2BFree]

Snickers is my favorite candy bar too. :o(

I really don't eat candy often but when I do, I reach for Snickers.

Looks like I'll be reaching for something else now.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

It was "straightforward and manly", he didn't prance at all, and even wore a suit and tie. Mr. Ramsbotham must have been watching something else and gotten confused. Here is Joel's performance:

After listing to some of the comments posted here, many of them rude beyond belief, I'm forced to admit that I didn't see what I thought I had seen. Evidently the guy who sounded like a faggot wasn't the same individual who acted like one. Allow me to tender my humblest apologies to those whose exquisite taste in music I may have affronted.

[technochick99]

partiotic = patriotic

[nuconvert]

The ad wasn't funny and isn't going to sell any candy bars.
It was a crappy ad.
But it wasn't something to boycott Mars over.
sheeesh

[ActionNewsBill]

Must be most conservative men aren't queer?

Neither were the two guys in the commercial.

[ActionNewsBill]

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?

No, you "people" who see what is, at worst, a stupid commercial and perceive some nefarious "homosexual agenda" at work.

There are plenty of blatant homosexual commercials out there to get offended about.

This is not one of them.

" I have to ask myself if you are really this ignorant, or if you are making this up.'

With a FReeper name like Ramsbottom, it's difficult to be certain...

[gcruse]

" Looks like I'll be reaching for something else now."

Get away from me...

[wku man]

Keep repeating it, bud. It doesn't faze me one bit.

This is a very entertaining thread...much better than those stupid commercials.

[wku man]

That's because it is a nefarious homosexual agenda at work, and judging from some of the pollyanna-style comments on this thread, it has apparently worked.

There is nothing funny, cute or otherwise endearing about two men kissing. Period. I don't care if it's a candy bar commercial, a movie, or the bus bench a few blocks down, two men kissing is not anything to laugh about. How anyone can accept it as normal or unthreatening is completely beyond me.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

[ActionNewsBill]

... two men kissing is not anything to laugh about. ...

You obviously missed their reaction when they discovered what was happening.

[wku man]

I couldn't care less about their reaction "once they realized what was going on". The fact remains Mars Candy showed two men kissing, a completely unnatural and disgusting act, and played it up for comedic effect. And again, judging from many of the posts on this thread, the homosexual agenda's effort over the last 30 years to desensitize our society to the evil of homosexuality has worked like a charm, because entirely too may people see ntohing wrong with it.
