Snickers pulls plug on Super Bowl smooch

[Alex]

To the degree that it is offensive I can really only see it in the fact that the basis on which the humor rests is that any gay-like behavior requires penance.

Of course, considering what it shown, it could also be argued that people who think that way are idiots.

Of course squared, the "manly" act they then do as penance is removing chest hair which if anything is also gay-like (to a stereotype of the gay gym rat; you don't really see chest waxing outside of gyms).

But I can't really see how it promotes violence against gays.

kiss what?

I had to laugh when the first anti-gay, manly thing the guy could think of was to rip off his shirt. Uh-huh.




The kiss was nothing. When you Lady-and-the-Tramp someone of the same gender with any kind of food .... you are gay long before the lips meet.




But yeah, gay panic ... even by imbeciles ... is mildly insulting, and I'm glad the company felt it best not to be associated with the ad.

Ripping the hair off your chest is manly but shaving the hair off your chest is gay. Remember that, boys.

I'd like to go on the record and say I wouldn't want to share a Snickers with either man.

Good to know I'm gay, it finally explains my complete lack of sexual interest in men.

I just tried to rip out some chest hair to atone, but it turns out it is really hard unless you only get a couple at a time.

One thing for sure.....no one came away from seeing that ad wanting to go out and buy a snickers bar.
