    No More S******s at Snickers Ad
    A lot of Super Bowl viewers didn't snicker at a Snickers commercial that aired during the game; instead, they complained so loudly that Masterfoods, a division of the Mars candy company, decided not to show the spot again and removed it from its website. The spot showed two men eating a single Snickers candy bar from opposite ends, accidentally kissing (like the spaghetti-eating pooches in Lady and the Tramp) when they reached the cener, and reacting with disgust and anger. The commercial was extended on the website with members of the Chicago Bears and Indianapolis Colts also registering their disgust at the kiss. Among organizations that complained about the spot were the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) and the Human Rights Campaign. In announcing its decision to yank the spot, a spokeswoman for Masterfoods observed that "humor is highly subjective." She added: "Feedback from our target consumers has been positive, and many media and Web site commentators on this year's Super Bowl lineup ranked the commercial among this year's best."

          Also that commercial was funny the first time but it would have gotten old fast.

            Wait. So are people complaining about the dudes kissing, or the fact that they act disgusted by it right after?

              The disgust. I say if the gays want to complain they should have to make out with one of those guys first.

                  But men have been accidentally kissing each other and freaking out about it for the entire history of comedy.

                  Why complain about it now?

                    Indeed.
                    A sad life one must have, to be complaining about something so small.

                        I definitely feel like complaining about the sheer mediocrity of that commercial, but yeah, silly for people to get worked up over it. No more objectionable than the well-received (and usually very good) "Man Law" Coors ads.

                              I saw it during the Super Bowl and thought it was pretty funny... Robert Goulet was better though.
