How About That Snickers Ad?
Everyone and their brother is talking about the Snickers Super Bowl ad.
And more importantly, Sweet liked it.
Here is the voice of reason from Sweet herself;
Regardless of what others may think...the ad was funny...and on the edge...and you know what Geno says..."If you are not on the edge you are taking up to much space"....let's face it...should two blue collar guys actually find themselves in this situation...they would do more than pull their chest hairs to dispell any rumors....come on people laugh.....life is to short to get caught up in a stupid 30 second commerical....snickers anyone?
Incidentally, Snickers has pulled the ad. Apparently, it was controversial. Just listen to this guy whine about it.
"That Snickers, Mars and the NFL would promote and endorse this kind of prejudice is simply inexcusable," said GLAAD President Neil Giuliano.
No Neil, it's not. Raping babies is inexcusable. Beating women is inexcusable. Condemning an entire race of people because of their color is inexcusable.
But making fun of a sexual faux pax is not inexcusable. It's amusing. It's attention grabbing. And it gets publicity from unexpected and unpaid sources. Like you, Neil. And now, like me as well.
And Neil, Carrie has some advice for you;
When we start giving one special interest group the power to control what we can and cannot view, what do you think they will try and control next? Are there no Snickers bars served in any gay club vending machines? We need to get rid of police state interest groups like GLAAD!!!!! Do gays have no sense of humor? Take an anti-sensitivity pill and get on with your life! Off of the soap box now.
But don't waste your time reading drivel about what Neil and the like thought of it.
Get right to the important stuff.
Read what Christobol thought of it.

Hey! You're late!

I agree with Carrie and Sweet.
Advertising is all about target audience.
GLAAD members and gays alike weren't the target audience, here.
Bravo and Home & Garden Network target gay audiences
with some of their programming. Not to mention other
popular television programs past and present work a gay
storyline into the show every once in a while.
Enjoy what was created to entertain you and let us enjoy
what was created to entertain us.
Different people are guaranteed different things. There is and will never be equality.
And not just in this world. For example, if you read the Bible, you’ll see that guarantees are not equally assured. Unlike them, we are not guaranteed an eternity in Hell.
You mean I'll have to put up with their sh#t in Hell?
Well, I've been meaning to get up earlier on Sundays.
Better start setting that Sunday morning alarm!
I think Snickers should pay those guys to come out of the closet, even if they're not gay. In fact, they should get NBA contracts to play for the Celtics as out of the closet Snickers eaters.
It's not like it will hurt the Celtics record.

I'm sure those guys, and Neil as well, are getting plenty of snickers everywhere they go!
And Cbol, don't the Celtics have enough trouble?
