ManCrunch says that CBS's decision to nix its ad is 'straight-up discrimination.'

Good.

Some sensibible discrimination discernment by CBS for a change.

Blessings to Focus on the Family and Tim Tebow.

And now, without having spent a dime, this homosexual bulletin board is getting free advertising as news organizations, blogs, and FR broadcast both its existence and its message.

re: the pic — not too subtle with the allusions, are they?

[awake-n-angry]

Gays will just have to settle for the “Men seeking Men” section of Hanni-date.

[presidio9]

I’m sure that was the entire point in the first place. I’m also pretty sure they won’t be getting many subscriptions from people who first leared about the site on FR.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Recommended "alternate submission".

While I have had a few gay friends who where football fans, I can say definitively that there are no gay couples in there 30's who hang stolen traffic signs in their living room. Or in their 20's for that matter.

Prop-8 RULES!

Good.

I completely disagree! Homosexuals know where the sites are and where to (ahem) get it. I say let it air and let the general public become more informed about this deviant behavior.

IMHO, the airing of the ad will do more harm for their movement than not airing it.........

Breeds die off with no reproductive system intact. I don’t think recruitment and indoctrination is self sustaining, advertising or not. Total self absorption when denying the obvious.

Here's a link to the ad: Link

This ad doesn't really bother me that much; it seems rather goofy actually, almost like it's making fun of being gay.

[VRWC For Truth]

WTF, I need all the sponsors I can get on my gay show.

[PGR88]

Why am I not surprised it’s based in in Toronto?

[Last Dakotan]

Nothing is gayer than a NO ENTRY sign.

[Kimmers]

I agree, my gay friends have helped me decorate and they host some fabulous parties.....

Go Colts !!!!

If they had runs such and add then Fans would be demanding that this network be forever banned from airing the superbowl.

[stevio]

Hanni-date has a “men seeking men” section?

[max americana]

There are families watching, you fags. Give it up.

[TankerKC]

Gay foot ball fans? Nooooo. /s
