I'm not sure what they were thinking when they ran it to begin with. It didn't make me want to run out and buy one.
Apparently they stopped running it because gay advocacy groups found it homophobic...they were offended by the fact that after the kiss the men ripped chest hair out to prove their manhood. One group went so far as to say that gay and lesbian children in schools all over the country will have to deal with anti-gay sentiment.
Those folks really do need a Snickers bar because they must have missed snack time.
And before anyone gets offended, I'm only referring to the fact that they have made this out to be a much bigger deal than it is.
I agree Jim, but much like the GM "suicidal robot" ad, it was pretty crass.
I have a sick sense of humor...I really liked the robot ad. Very imaginative and they really made the robot look "human". Made me laugh, especially when it "woke up".
But I also thought about the GM workers who had been laid off.
I noticed that commercial that has everybody saying they dont speak English has not run again, i knew there would be some flack when that ran.
I agree. Had my wife :lol: :lol:. "Hey, you fogot to plug it in!"Blockbuster Mouse Ad was funniest....

I also liked the chick on the Doritos commercial taking a digger head first into the car door, but I'm kinda sick like that.
