You called a 900 number?

I watched about 2 minutes total of the whole game. I saw a guy named Mohamed score a touchdown and following that TD a commercial with 2 guys making out over a candy bar came on. I wondered what Mohamed thought of that and got a chuckle.

That snickers commercial was ridiculous. It drew groans of annoyance from the assembled group watching the game with me.

Hi ChiefJayStrongbow-

You must have really gone nuts with that homoerotic Chevrolet advertisement with all the semi-nekkid men washing the car.

Such a provocative ad may increase product awareness but discourage actual purchasing. At least, it won't encourage young people to run out and buy that brand of candy bar.

Superbowl commercials are a dying art form.
At one point in time they used to be pretty good, some even great.
Alas, now they are just 30 seconds that someone paid 29 million dollars for.

I really don't understand the why they felt it necessary for the nod the gay community. Do gays feel left out of the candybar experience?

And what is with having Prince at half time?

The commercial was ridiculous. It portrayed the two white males as dumb and unsophisticated, especially when they both realized they may have just "kissed" after sharing the candy bar.

There were only 2 commercials I liked. The rest were sophomoric and just plain unfunny. It appears the ad companies aren't running on much talent these days. I also noticed there were no patriotic commercials this year - doesn't Anheuser Busch usually do one?

I understand the reason for the blackcentric commercials, but does every group need a such direct advertising?

Does everyone miss the fact what was intended to be ridiculously humorous, that the insecure guys needed to prove their ungayness by pulling hair from their chest, has provoked those here to essentially do the virtual version of just that.

The guys weren't kissing, they just found themselves in a compromised position while eating a Snickers. Their over reaction to the realization of the situation is hardly an endorsement of the homosexual lifestyle. It wasn't offensive, it was funny. The fact that it has you whining about it the next day says it worked. (Get the stick out of your butt)

You should be thankful that the reaction of the guys was that the accidental kiss was inappropriate and embarassing. They clearly showed it as a "not normal" activity. I found that kind of refreshing....

I'm sure gay rights people didn't like it either. The blatant implication is that kissing another guy is unmanly and therefore wrong. That was probably the most un-PC commerical of the night. Much better than those ultra-fluffy Coke commericals.

I thought it was hilarious myself.

I loved the Blockbuster commercial with the "mouse"....

Also, I wish Budweiser would return to the days of the Clydesdales and the Frogs.......especially Frank and Louie

The snickers commercial was terrible. The hamster and the mouse was a terrific one. Congratulations to Bud for the homeless dog who hit the jackpot, and there were some really good ones also.I enjoyed most of them and thought they were well done, of course I always love the bud horses , I remember the tribute to the trade towers they did after 911. It was terrific and the clams with the ice chest, priceless. You have to admit one rotten apple in the bunch did not make all of them bad.Let us also remember Prince was great , it was a clean good show and I still wonder how he did not get a shock from all the purple rain coming down for real. Let us think positive, one bad apple did not spoil a great Super Bowl. ON To NEXT YEAR!

in my opinion, I thought every commercial as well as the half time show was about as laim and stupid and not funny as it could possibly get. What Ad Agency or agency's were responsible for these laim commercials???

showed two guys locking lips.

Locking lips? Their lips barely touched.

Personally I did not find the commercial funny, but did not find it offensive or promoting some devious, hidden, gay agenda. It was just a bad commercial.

Save the protests and calls for something really disgusting and blatant, like the NYSlimes blaming the 'violence' in the commercials to the war in Iraq. Now THAT is disgusting.
