Snickers has pulled their ad campaign where the two mechanics inadvertently kiss after taking a lot heat from human rights groups.  Here is what the Human Rights Campain had to say about the ad:

The Human Rights Campaign, AmericaBlog.com and the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation yesterday called on the makers of Snickers, and its parent company Mars Inc., to pull an online ad campaign launched during the Super Bowl that depicted violent and anti-gay behavior by two actors. By the end of the day Monday, the ads and the additional footage of players from the Colts and the Bears had been pulled from the company website.

 

I’ve got no problem with gay rights but I really don’t think this ad overstepped those boundaries.   I mean come on, it was a gross kiss.  Am I the only person that wasn’t overcome with the need to go out and bully gays after watching the commercial?  Honestly, I think it’s pretty deplorable that the reactions of hetero-sexual males are being pulled from television.  I mean, is it normal for two men to meet in the middle of a snickers bar..with a kiss?  Anyway, if you haven’t seen the ad, it’s here.
