A website named Mancrunch.com is claiming discrimination because CBS won’t accept their Super Bowl ad.
A spokesman for the company said they were told ad space was full, even though that isn’t true. CBS now says they need more time to review the ad.
Any decision to keep the website’s ad off the air will be compared to the decision to allow Tim Tebow’s pro life advocacy spot. The Mancrunch ad features a harmless and somewhat jokey makeout session between dudes in football jerseys.
We were hesitant to post this for reasons other than the inevitable inappropriate comments that will have to be deleted. (Be nice, please.)
Every year around this time, we hear about companies that have ads rejected from the Super Bowl. They are often just looking for free publicity, and it works like a charm.
According to the New York Post, a final decision has yet to be made about Mancrunch’s ad.
Come on man cant they leave this out of it…Play the commercial during the week when CSI is on..I honestly dont want to see that and I dont want my kids watching it either….Thats not taking a shot at anyone thats just stating what I or my son doesnt want to see……Just take it somewhere else….
A Schmitts Gay commercial would be awesome, good ole’ SNL, but really during the Superbowl, no one wants to see that!
I wouldn’t touch that with an 8 inch pole.
Everyone has a price………. Mancrunch just has to up theirs
a makeout session? are you kidding? that is disgusting. WTF… dont they know FOOTBALL fans are watching this??
i dont care if they advert for a gay dating site, but with a makeout session? why? ugh
…Not that there is anything wrong with that.
Let the gaymes begin!!
CBS hasn’t approved the (stupid, imo) GoDaddy ad either.
Are there seriously still people out there who are uncomfortable with this stuff?
“mancrunch” that is freaking brilliant.

The Tebow pro-life advocacy spot bothers me more than any gay dating ad could. I hope they lose sponsors due to their boneheaded decisions.
If there is nothing offensive about the commercial than why not accept it. They pay their money. Sounds like a moral decision.
The city of Brotherly Love must distraught over this!
Just run them back to back in the same advertisement break.
Well, in America you shouldn’t really have to worry about this sort of thing. I don’t really care if they air the commercial or not. If its not funny, it probably won’t be remembered for long, as those are usually the ones people really like to see and talk about.
I say if you don’t want to see it, go get a plate of food or go to the bathroom when you see it coming, lol.
Let me just simply say this….while im watchin the Super Bowl with a bunch of friends drinking,eating and having a good time. i DO NOT want to see 2 dudes making out with football jersey’s on.If you wanna be a Fudge Packer thats cool with me just dont show it on tv ESPECIALLY the Super Bowl.Its bad enough im going to have to sit thru that religious freak and bum Tebow’s commercial
I believe in free speech. As much as I disdain that lifestyle I cannot with a clear consience say it shouldn’t be allowed on a commerical. If they can pony up the cash then I guess we’ll all have a brokeback moment whether we want it or not…
“(Be nice, please.)” … ha ha ha ha
Although I don’t agree with the lifestyle, I say it is discrimination if they do not use the ad.
I don’t agree with the Tebow commercial either, I do not think it is up to a group of people to tell other people how to live their lives. That being said, if they want to spend the money for the ad, let them.
This is just another in a long list of things that do not really matter, that people want to be all up in arms about. You don’t want to see either commercial, that may be a great time to get up and take a leak.
I’m sure the 2 guys will be dressed in Packer attire though, and that is fitting.
Let them air it, it couldn’t be any worse than watching the Rams, Redskins, Bucs, or Lions this year.
This should get aired.
Americans talk incessantly about living in a free society so rejecting this for its content would be shocking.
I’ve also lost a lot of respect for Tebow in the past couple of weeks.
Way,way, way too much political pressure here. No chance CBS airs the gay ad. To say they are unsure is just posturing. The religous right political lobby is much too powereful.
Sexual orientation is a personal matter, not one that should be publicized. I disagree with this ad, but sometimes living in the land of the free sucks.
This is exactly the argument I made on Newsvine earlier in the week. If CBS wants to air Tebow’s ad, then Mancrunch or any other organization that is legitimate, and can afford the ridiculous prices for ads, should be allowed as well. This doesn’t seem to be rocket science. It is just fair play and freedom of speech. CBS needs to decide on what side of the Constitution and Bill of Rights it wants to stand.
I wonder how many people saying that it’s free speech and blathering on about “liberals who want to block Tebow’s ad” will now say this shouldn’t be allowed. Hypocrisy? No, not in the right-wing world.
Since when is the gay communities’ money not as good as the straight community. I’m not gay, but this is discrimination at its best. If you losers can show Tebow’s commercial, then you sure as hell can show this one.
Is there anything that corporate america can’t screw up?!?
Whether or not CBS accepts the ad, Mancrunch must realize that their key target demographic will be reduced in size now that the Vikings have been eliminated.
“The Mancrunch ad features a harmless and somewhat jokey makeout session between dudes in football jerseys.”
It’s gotta Collinsworth and Favre.
… and Cowboy nation mourns.
It’s ridiculous if CBS doesn’t let this ad run but will run Tebow’s ad. As long as the ad is family-friendly then I see no problem with them using it.
Awesome. I hope CBS decides to run this immediately after the Tebow ad. One ad will piss off half the country, the other ad will piss off the other half. Or they can tell us in advance when they are planning to run the ads back to back, so everyone in America can plan their bathroom breaks in advance.
No doubt starring Mike Greenberg and Mark Sanchez!
Short of a full on “sword fight” how is this going to be offensive? What would really make this spot great if it was a Florio look-a-like making out with a grizzly looking dude wearing a purple #4 jersey.
I suppose it was only a matter of time before ads like this would be displayed during the Super Bowl. I don’t have a problem with them paying to advertise their website or whatever it is, but I think its inappropriate to have two guys making out on television. Nobody wants to see that.
Now if you wanted to have a lesbian ad site with two good looking girls making out, I’m ALLLLL for it! lol
disgusting
“Any decision to keep the website’s add off the air will be compared to the decision to allow Tim Tebow’s pro life advocacy spot.”
Exactly…don’t screw this one up CBS
Who cares, air it. I’ll be getting a beer or food at that time anyway. I watch the game for the game. If I catch the commercials it’s extra entertainment.
CBS could eliminate these pub seekers by asking for payment up front before making decisions. Most likely, they aren’t going to come up with the $$.
Regardless, these types of commercials should only be allowed after prime time when the kiddies are off to sleep.
I’m all for this on the condition they also make a commercial with hot chicks making out….it’s a gay dating site right? Show gay chicks! And not the big ones either, or the ones with flattops. I’m talking about the blondes in those movies with the no clothing and the what have you.
pleasepleaseplease show this CBS.
The amount of homophobia that will be unleashed around water coolers and blogs on Monday will be a delicious treat.
I gotta agree with the other posters here. I mean when you see other internet dating sites commercials they don’t always have straight people just making out in it. It’s ridiculous that they would ever consider this commercial to be played.
Can’t help cracking up at the CBS geniuses who didn’t see this coming. I have no problem with the Tebow ad, but prefer to leave the controversial stuff out of the Super Bowl. Now that the CBS braintrust has opened Pandora’s Box, what’s fair to the goose is fair to the gander … er, kissing ganders. LOL
Hey, if this finally gets Vox and Chapnasty together, who are we to judge?
Warning – More stupid protest over how people should think…first anti-abortion, now discrimination against gays? Why can’t people just respect other peoples opinion. What is next, a add from NORML on the legalization of marijuana?
so if the KKK comes up with 10 million dollars and wants to run an ad showing two hooded klansmen dancing around a burning cross u guys would think just because they have the money they should be allowed air what they want too?
so what’s the ad, two guys standing around looking at Sean Salisbury’s phone?
Get over it, people.
A gay ad – fine.
A pro life ad – fine.
2 guys making out on a couch – not cool.
Tim tebow performing an abortion on national tv – also not cool.
Mancrunch took it too far…
Why do they have to shove this stuff down our throats?
Wait a minute, that didn’t sound right….
Definitely discrimination.
Not what I want to see, but so is alot of stuff on tv…
so I CHANGE THE CHANNEL!!!

————————————————-
The reaction across America could be similar to the crowd reaction at the fight in the last scene of the movie Bruno. That alone could make it worthwhile.
Watch the ad via the link.
It’s not prurient by any means.
In fact, it’s just like an SNL sketch. And just as unfunny.
Look, nobody wants to see two dudes in football jerseys making out during the Super Bowl. OK? Plain and simple. I hope CBS stands pat.
I’ll bet less than 5% of the men watching it will be gay. Why would they want to waste so much money on an ad that will hardly reach anyone in their target audience? Sounds like a publicity stunt to me. Looks like it worked.
Does Ellen Degenerate have anything to do with this?
This is CBS’ stew and I hope they soak in it — good and long
I hate the term homophobia, it makes it seem like people are afraid of homosexuals. I don’t fear them, I just can’t stand what they do.
I bet Mancrunch can’t even AFFORD the ad.. but by throwing the idea of purchasing one out there, they have now created an incredible amount of free advertising!!! We are talking about them at this very moment, and they haven’t spent a penny yet!
Who is in the commercial?
Jeff Garcia and Terrell Owens.
And these are the people who will be buying and selling Congress now? Get ready for a crazy ride America!
Both or neither, most preferably neither. Can’t I just watch the pinnacle of the football season without any of this political BS?
Doesn’t th NFL hae a say about their jerseys being used in a commercial?
ManCrunch– The NFL’s Official Man’s dating service: If you are a man and want to watch the SuperBowl with a friend, call a girl, IF you want to feel the thrill of having 350 pound linebacker call us.
Comparing the mancrunch commercial to the Tebow commercial isn’t a valid comparison.
Tebow is talking about the choice his mother made to have him, when she was advised to terminate the pregnancy. IT’S NOT SHOWING FOOTAGE OF AN ABORTION.
If Mancrunch didnt show a makeout session, I would say they are just equivalent. But by showing 2 men making out…. it is not a valid comparison to the Tebow commercial.
CBS told mancrunch that their commercial was going to be shown between 1135 and 1235, but Jay Leno wanted that timeslot.
Is Tim Tebow in the mancrunch ad? It wouldn’t surprise me a bit to see him making out with a guy… not that there’s anything wrong with that.
I will never understand how a guy can look at another guys hairy @$$ and say “Mmmm gotta get me some of that”. Having said that though, there is a certain injustice to deny them the right to advertise during the superbowl. All of you opposing the rights of others simply because you disagree are hypocrites. Personally, I don’t wanna see the gay site comercial anymore then tebow’s Jesus freak comercial but I gotta feeling I’ll survive both comercials just fine. Afterall…I’m not so frail and brainless that the comercials will change my views or ruin my SB experience.
Put some purple pride Viking jersey’s on these two guys. Purple and gay go together like peanut butter and jelly.
It is a free country and if CBS doesnt want to air it they shouldnt have to. Personally I have no problem with the gay community but the superbowl is more of a family event not sure why they are going for the shock factor of two guys making out. And for all the comparisons to Tebow….its not like he will be demonstrating an abortion.
(The Tebow pro-life advocacy spot bothers me more than any gay dating ad could)
now that is where i disagree, if the Tebow pro-life ad is bad then the gay dating ad is just as bad, both are controversial and both have their loves and hates and i think the gay dating ad is just as bad as the pro-life, but in my view if they pay for it and cbs allows it then it should be shown, i personally have no problem with commercials shown because if i hate them, i change the channel.
For the record I also want to say that I think all of those GoDaddy commercials shouldn’t be aired either. They are turning women into pieces of meat to sell an internet service. That is terrible and the cheapest form of marketing.
for all of those who have something against Christianity, I hardly think Tebow’s add will include “Accept Jesus!” It is strictly him talking about his mother’s choice. It isn’t religious.

This doesn’t seem to be rocket science. It is just fair play and freedom of speech. CBS needs to decide on what side of the Constitution and Bill of Rights it wants to stand.
So advertise the company, just don’t show the physical stuff. I don’t think Tebow’s add is going to go, ‘Sure am glad mom didn’t abort me’, (cut to an actual abortion scene).
Show the ad. For Christ’s sake… it’s 2010.
Remember the ad a few years back (Snickers, maybe) where two macho guys were unknowingly eating the same candy bar from opposite ends and their lips touched in the middle?
It was a great, funny ad. And it was pulled almost immediately because archaic, uptight, homophobic wingnuts complained about it.
Political correctness started out as a good idea. But it quickly dissolved into just another excuse for people to become “morally outraged” at anything they didn’t personally agree with.
They also rejected a Go daddy ad (as they have many times in the past), which clearly targets straight men, so the claim of discrimination is hard to pull off since they are saying its because its a gay ad.
Regarding all the “losing respect” and hate on Tebow. Regardless of which side of the issue you fall on, these kind of comments are just stupid. The country is fairly split on this issue, so you are saying that you hate half the country based on this one stance. Nice
Rumour is that the two guys in the jerseys are Peter King and Florio both wearing Favre’s #4.

I love you, man!
Tebow and Mancrunch can not be compared whatsoever. I hate Tebow, by the way, but…
Tebow is advocating a pro-life stance, one that is shared by a good percentage of the nation. Let’s say it’s 50/50, maybe even 60/40 his way. There are pro-life billboards and commercials all over the place.
50% of the population does not enjoy gay sex. Sorry. 1% of the people who watch it will think it’s a great rallying cry for their counter culture, a few won’t care, and the majority will be repulsed.
Not saying I care if they air either commercial. I usually mix a drink or grab another beer during the commercials anyway, but you can’t compare these 2 commercials.
I think the key is that CBS said they would air other advocacy views as long as they were tasteful. There is nothing tasteful about showing 2 dudes making out or 2 women making out. It would be comparable to the Tebow ad showing someone getting ready to have an abortion and then changing her mind while the ad ran. I wouldn’t agree with something like that running either. From what I’ve read the Tebow ad is done in a very tasteful manner so I have no problem with it.
Lol at all you closet homos out there who are scared of seeing some gays on TV.
You nervous that one of your friends that you’re watching the game with will try to put his hand on your knee?
Tim Tebow + mother- anti abortion Ad
Kordell Stewart + ? – mancrunch Ad
back to back sometime in the 3rd quarter at the peak of my drunkness.
Talk about funniest commericals of superbowl history.
In all fairness, I think they should give equal time to a commercial with 2 chicks making out…
“And the big Niner tight end is brought down by a swarm of hungry Packers!”
I thought Tebow was gay? They could just kill two birds with one stone.
The Mancrunch ad would be so much more awesome if one of the dudes making out was wearing a Tebow jersey!
Let them air it. After all,New Orleans is in the SB. Don’t they promote that behavior down there??
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqZCh2H5h8Y&feature=related
Nothing wrong with this. I actually found it rather funny
(That’s the ad btw if it hasn’t been posted yet)
Not cool. What does Adrian Peterson have to say about Hans Buttseeker wearing his jersey???
I love the double standard men have regarding lesbians vs gay men. As a lesbian woman, the last thing I want is some guy drooling when I’m kissing my girlfriend… but that’s just me… *shrug*…
Either way, this IS discrimination. Granted, I will admit the LGBT community needs to know what battles to pick; as if they picked the right battles and not the insanely riduculous ones, (like trying to show a gay male commercial during the most testerone driven experience on TV of the year), then perhaps we’d be a little more accepted. However, if they have the money and want to spend it on a (stupidly made) commercial… (I have so many more ideas that would’ve made it more tasteful, and probably more funny), then that’s their 1/4 mil or whatever to waste….
Although I will say, there are more gay men who watch football than one would think…. even the flamboyantly gay men… something about the butts.. I don’t see it.. I watch it cause I grew up breathing football.. but that’s my take….
Puh-leeze. When the GM Robot was going to commit suicide, that ad made the telecast. Pure and simple: pony up the cash and get the air time. This is 2010 – and not Leave it to Beaver Mayfield.
Rumor has it that the two people in football jerseys will be John Madden and Brett Favre.
apparently free speech will cost a little more
I have just as much of a problem with the Focus on the Family spot as I do the the (trying to type while laughing) mancrunch ad, but they both have the right to air.
Joe Namath is gonna be pissed that someone is making out on national TV and it’s not him though.
what % of the viewing audience is gay………..
whats up Florio? do i get a copy of the book for sending in the link to the gay commercial?
To those of you who don’t want their kids to see this. Perhaps it’s time for you have “the talk” with them; they might be able to explain a few things to you.
I’m interested in watching the final act of the drama known as the NFL season.The Super Bowl becoming a convenient albeit expensive platform for those with agendas of a sensative nature seems a little pushy to me. I DO NOT want to see two guys kissing on TV. I DO NOT want to be reminded of politically imflammatory subjects when I’m supposed to be watching a football game. This should be a celebratory time that heady and weighted subjects should take a backseat to.
@jwill007: I don’t want to see Tebow’s anti-choice commercial, either. I’ll deal with it though. I’m guessing you and your son have no issues with the GoDaddy! commercials?
Ovie Mughelli is one of the dudes in the commercial.
I don’t see the big deal. CBS can decide to air whatever they want to air. It doesn’t matter if people claim discrimination or not. They can even say it’s because the station believes in ProLife and doesn’t believe in gay rights. As long as it’s not done to incite gay bashing there’s no issue. Of coarse they should and would never do that but the choice of commercials is their own choice.
WTF??? i understand the one guy wearing the Packer jersey,but the other tinker wearing AP jersey just stinks! People must not be watching the clip,not many Viking attacks.
This is descrimination, no doubt about it. The thing is, descrimination is an important part of society and it happens all the time. But it is important to understand that descrimination should only be limited to behaviors. If we don’t descriminate behaviors then anything can be allowed and that wouldn’t be in the best interest of society. So the question is, what is CBS descriminating against. The answer is a behavior, so they should have a right to say whether they support the behavior or not. If CBS decides they don’t want to accept money in return to show the commercial then they should have the right to do so, otherwise they are being forced to accept a behavior they don’t agree with. Funny how gays complain that the religious force their beliefs on them but they have no problem forcing their beliefs on the religious. In fact if gays would just be gay instead of worrying about how people feel about their lifestyle, they wouldn’t have to hear about how people feel it’s wrong (at least not in the public arena). Do you hear the religious make a big argument about pedophiles? no, because there isn’t a clamoring for acceptance like there is for gays (at least not yet). It’s the gays that started forcing their opinions on the public that sparked the religious (public) campaign against them.
The game is for men.
The commercials are for women.
@WarrenMoonGOAT
Exactly. The KKK could run an add advertising what they believe. So long as it wasn’t a personal attack on an individual. This is the precise reason the Nazi party was allowed to march through Skokie, Illinois (a jewish community). “The cure for bad speech is more speech” -United States Supreme Court. Like it or not, the right being protected is more valuable than the offensiveness of the speech.
The freedom of speech is a fundamental right in our constitution and whether you want to see the kissing fella’s on at the superbowl, they have to be allowed to run the ad. If it was two hot chicks making out, there would be little objection. If it were a man and a woman, same thing. The idea of two guys isn’t something I, or most people on this site want to see, BUT, they’re allowed to run the ad so long as its not obscene and two guys kissing just isn’t.
As for the children argument, the Supreme Court addressed this with the likes of George Carlin and 2 live crew on the radio, Change the channel. Is it annoying? Yes, but you have the responsibility to determine what your kids see.
I think they should approve naked boobs before they approve 2 guys kissing on public tv. Indecency is in the eye of the beholder. I’m all for gay rights and doing whatever floats your boat BEHIND CLOSED DOORS, but its not fair to have to watch that if I don’t also get to see boobies.
It’s a JOKE of a make-out session for all you pathetic men that aren’t comfortable enough in your own skin to watch something like that.
A joke kissing scene, as in arms around each other, making lip smacking sounds or something without their lips actually touching and no actual kissing…you’ve seen people joke about it before on tv. Dudes joke like that from time to time.
People’s level of intolerance is really hilarious. You don’t want your son seeing it? You might want to review your reasons for that.
There’s nothing derogatory about it. It was done in a respectful manner. It deserves a spot if they’re willing to pay for it. ‘Nuff said.

===============================
Dude, turn in your screen name and password at the door you ignorant POS.
You aren’t that dumb really, are you?
You are comparing religion and a lifestyle that people have no choice in to the klan?
Again. Really?!!
The fact that you don’t understand racism and discrimination is dumbfounding.
Just because you don’t agree with homosexuality, does not make it wrong.
I don’t agree with abortion, does that make it wrong? No, it’s not up to me to tell everyone what is right. As for gays, they are born that way, they are just as good as you and I. Have a relative come out of the closet and I’m sure you sing a different tune. Why they feel they have to be “in the closet” in the 1st place is part of what is wrong with our society.
Racism on the other hand is a choice and it is the highest form of ignorance out there.
Hating someone for the color of their skin? really?
When there are so many other reasons to hate someone?
That you even compared the three precludes anyone on this site from taking you seriously ever again.
Why don’t they just combine the Tebow and Mancrunch commercial? Tebow’s mommy can talk about abortion while Tebow makes out with Urban Meyer.
Who’s more against pro life than gays.
They don’t procreate!!!
Obviously it is discrimination, a blatant case of discrimination on homophobic grounds. Wiley 16350, you comment is ridiculous, in what way are gay forcing beliefs on the religious? Only in the same way that blacks were imposing their claims to equality on the white man. The comparison to pedophiles has no baring on this argument btw. Nice attempt and making the religious groups seem as a repressed group by “the gays” though.
“so if the KKK comes up with 10 million dollars and wants to run an ad showing two hooded klansmen dancing around a burning cross u guys would think just because they have the money they should be allowed air what they want too?”
————————————————-
You’re comparing apples to oranges. The KKK is a group that advocates hatred of groups of people and the KKK has a history of violence. Regardless of whether or not you agree with the politics or lifestyles in the other ads, neither has a message that threatens the lives or well-being of other people.
As for the actual ads, let them run. I just want them to run back-to-back.
I learn a lot from this site. Today Mr. Sewer Rat taught me that the word distraught is a verb.
I was dead against the airing of the commercial until my wife told me it’s her understanding that if the ad turns our kids gay, we won’t be obligated to kick in for their weddings. Now I’m all for it.
As for the Tebow ad, it’s too late. We already have the kids, so it won’t effect us either way. If his ad had in any way led to their creation, however, I would be praying for a torn MCL to visit upon him.
Interesting how all of the so-called ‘free speech advocates’ are using the 1st Amendment as a defense for the Tebow ad but bemoaning the possibility of this ad running. Free speech means you tolerate speech that you don’t agree with – it’s not a case-by-case judgment.

Hey, if this finally gets Vox and Chapnasty together, who are we to judge?
I think Pervy and Vox would be a more suitable couple. Pervy could be giving Vox make up kisses for the Beat Down on the CowGurls at the hands of the VikQueens…….. Just a thought
I agree, shaunypoo…it makes it look like a moral decision. It makes the station look Pro Choice and Anti Gay. To each his own.
I say let women to what they want with their bodies and let men and women do what they want in the privacy of their own homes, including online dating sites, which have every right to buy ad space.
If it was a regular dating site, with a dude and a chick having a joke make-out session or even a real one, would they think twice about taking their money? I doubt it.
I think there’s a little bit of a difference between promoting a policy which affirms life and advocating a degenerate self-imposed constriction of it.
neither commercial should be sold for that program. that’s the slippery slope cbs opened up by even accepting that tivo “pro -life” (as they call themselves) ad.
pro-life? yeah right! from the same hypocrites who believe in capital punishment, chasing and shooting innocent animals for fun, etc., etc.
While I believe to each their own, that doesn’t mean that I want my kids to see that while I’m watching the game with them. The last thing I want to have to explain to a couple of 10 year-olds is homosexuality.
On a serious note, do they really need to advertise that? People who really want their services will find them. Google is a wonderful thing.
I would think any commercial depicting a makeout session – whether homosexual or heterosexual – would not be appropriate for a game that starts before 8 p.m. and has many, many kids younger than 13 watching. Just my opinion.
A pro-life advocacy spot doesn’t have quite the same connotation as a gay dating site, so the two can’t be compared fairly. The pro-life spot is more equivalent to, say, the anti-smoking commercials that have aired during past Super Bowls; some of them were pretty obnoxious even to me, and I’m not a smoker.
Speak for yourself Stinson.. I know plenty of women who know the game of football better than most men…
that was a misogyny if I’ve ever seen it….
What jersey will you be wearing Florido?
Goes well with the “Bears may be interested in Saints tight ends coach” article. You got your gay stuff, you got your bestiality stuff, you got your pedo priest stuff …
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GxgdPaCJUcI
The ad is so NOT offensive.
Now that I watched it, it’s even more harmless. And the guy’s face at the end is PRICELESS! I think it’s funny. No reason not to play it. If THAT is offensive to someone, they need therapy to help them come out of the closet.
So if NAMBLA ponies up cash for a Super Bowl ad, we should all have to endure an older man enjoying showing a young boy how to shoot billiards?
wiley16350 says: January 29, 2010 11:08 AM
Yes. It wasn’t until recent memory that gays felt persecution and anger from the religious right. The church never held any belief aginst them until those darn gays started in with their equal rights nonsense, which they completely made up because they had been treated equally all along.
And the reason there is no push for pedophiles amongst the religious is because most of the pedophiles are already employed by the church as priests.
“I love the double standard men have regarding lesbians vs gay men.”
I do, too. This is an issue that I’ve pondered in the past. Why is HLA (Hot Lesbian Action) more acceptable than FDMS (Filthy Dirty Man Sex)?
I believe that the behavioral differences between men and women and how they interact with others of the same sex is at the core. Women do things like hold hands, dance together, go to the bathroom together, cry together, get all huggy and kissy with each other, etc. and it’s not really taken as a reflection of their sexuality. It’s just accepted as chick behavior whether straight or not. You see some guys doing any of that and it is taken as a reflection of their sexuality so the straight ones don’t usually do it. I think there’s a conditioning effect in place when it comes to HLA. And besides, I look at woman as God’s greatest creation, can’t really blame anyone for feeling the same way that I do about it. I don’t blame you for being a lesbian. I wouldn’t want to have anything to do with nasty, stinky guys either. Eww, gross. There has to be something really wrong with anyone that wants to have sex with a man. And yes I’m including women in that.
It’s Favre and Madden, isn’t it?
This and the Tebow spot will just be 2 good opportunities to put down the Cheetos, and hit the reading room and drop a deuce. CBS needs to earn their commercial money, much of which then goes to the NFL, to help DeSean Jackson make more money so that he can buy more Escalades.
I would also like to add to further make my point that there are many types of dating sites out there advocating adultry (swingin’), casual sex and other types of sexual encounters. Are we going to say that CBS has no right to decline these types of commercials? Because if they did they would be descriminating. Descriminating can be bad, but it is also necessary and can be appropriate in certain situations. To conclude, I would also like to point out that this site has every right to find another station that would be willing to show their commercial and if they were to succeed in doing that then I don’t have a problem with it, because as a viewer I still have a choice to watch or not.
Half of you haven’t even gone to the link and WATCHED the ad and yet you’re complaining about it.
All the “rumors are that it’s Florio wearing a Favre jersey” bla bla bla obviously haven’t watched the ad. It IS a Vikings jersey and a Packers jersey the two guys are wearing. You would know that if you actually watched the ad before judging it.
It’s HARMLESS. It’s made out to be a joke. There’s a 3rd guy in the video sitting in a chair looking at them like, “WHAT THE @!$%!?”
“The freedom of speech is a fundamental right in our constitution and whether you want to see the kissing fella’s on at the superbowl, they have to be allowed to run the ad.”
Ahhh…. no. they have no right to have the ad shown on TV. It’s not a freedom of speech issue. The Constitution guarantees that the government will not interfere with freedom of speech, the press, etc and THAT’S IT. Say what you want to say, but don’t feel bad if nobody gives you a soapbox from which to say it.
If they show the Tim Tebow religious zealot commercial the should be showing all the advocacy adds they’ve turned down including PETA, and the gay dating commercial as well.
In fact they should show the Mancrunch commercial immediately after the Tebow commercial, that would be f’ing hilarious.
“The church never held any belief aginst them until those darn gays started in with their equal rights nonsense, which they completely made up because they had been treated equally all along.”
That’s exactly right, “gay rights” has always been about granting special rights to a group of people.
Will Brady Quinn be in this ad? Just sayin’. Who’s leading the march in this one?
You know as soon as Tebow was done shooting his commercial, he walked off set and gave his boyfriend a long, passionate kiss. Mancrunch or whatever it’s called should have just used that hidden footage for their ad.
I like lesbians.
hahaha, it amazes me how STRAIGHT people get offended by what happens to gays…hahaha
“Obviously it is discrimination, a blatant case of discrimination on homophobic grounds.”
Discrimination isn’t always a bad thing. When you go to the grocery store, do you check the expiration date on the milk and grab the freshest jug or do you just grab the first one you see? When you’re at the bar do you not see the differences between the hotties and the heifers? “Homophobic” grounds means that the ad is rejected because CBS is afraid of gays. Can it not be enough to completely disregard them just because they want to? What makes gays so special that they think they deserve special considerations? Get over yourselves you buncha divas. To paraphrase Phil Anselmo, be yourself by yourself, get the f- away from me.

@ jeffragnarchicken
Thank you for making that point. My whole outlook on gays changed when my little cousin tried to kill himself because he was afraid of telling his parents that he was gay. The kid almost gave his own life because he thought he would be ruining his parents’ life by telling them. You go through that experience and try to seriously tell me that gay people CHOOSE that.
Sorry for the personal story. It has nothing to do with the article.
The point should be it’s a legitimate company that wants to air a legitimate ad during the Super Bowl. If they have the money and their ad is not offensive, they should be allowed to air it.
“Wiley 16350, you comment is ridiculous, in what way are gay forcing beliefs on the religious? Only in the same way that blacks were imposing their claims to equality on the white man.”
And you don’t see a difference there? Black men are men and deserve the same rights as all other men.
Gays have always had the same rights as other men. Maybe you’ll let me know when gays are taken from their homes, enslaved, officially considered to be equal to a fraction of a white man, refused the right to vote, etc. Until then you can go piss up a rope with the comparisons to the plight of black people.
@Stinson …
I’m there for the game. And I’ll match my knowledge of it against yours any day of the week … and twice on Sunday.
Maybe you should stick to the commercials, darlin’. Since it sounds like you’re one of those tiny-apparatus types who try to look big by taking cheap shots at women, maybe this Mancrunch thing will help you find a suitable viewing partner.
If Tebow can spew his man juice all over the audience, mancruch should get the same opportunity.
Yet another “blow” to the ‘Steel’ City.
“You are comparing religion and a lifestyle that people have no choice in”
Say what?
Mancrunch?
Gay.
What a perfect commercial!
Vikes and Packer fans showing their true emotions for each other!

Are there seriously still people out there who are uncomfortable with this stuff?
——————————————————
Its ultraliberals like you that are the problem. No one has to feel comfortable with this, regardless of what you think. so sorry that your degenerate lifestyle isnt going to be accepted by everyone, but too f-ing bad.
other than that, why are people missing the big problem here, do you see sites like eharmony and match.com showing commercials where you’ve got folks making out? I don’t personally care what people do behind closed doors, its their bussiness not mine, but when you want to do it on public airwaves, then you are going to be held accountable by the public. if a majority of american’s don’t want to see this during a football game, then it shouldn’t be. It could be anything, same with the tebow commercial, except that a majority of americans probably aren’t going to find that offensive or bothersome, just some blowhards on here which represent a small minority. Its a simple question folks, which would you rather have, 2 dudes making out or another boring GM commercial? put that choice in front of people and don’t be suprised when the homo’s lose out by a huge percentage.
No one has to “accept” people that live this way. And the way its been pushed on people lately, its disgusting. if thats your persuasion, so be it, but keep it behind closed doors where it belongs.
Commercials during the Superbowl used to be well thought out and funny.
I used to watch this game AND the commercials, but these past few years the commercials have not been funny or have been over thought.
Mancrunch missed the prime of superbowl commercials. Why not air the commercial? Half time shows have gone completely main stream and P.C. the commercials should also.
Oh the times we live in………
Vox and Chappy?
“Thank you for making that point. My whole outlook on gays changed when my little cousin tried to kill himself because he was afraid of telling his parents that he was gay. The kid almost gave his own life because he thought he would be ruining his parents’ life by telling them. You go through that experience and try to seriously tell me that gay people CHOOSE that.”
That’s exactly what they do. They choose it. There’s absolutely no evidence to support the theory that homosexuality is anything but a lifestyle choice.
Your little cousin is AFU, maybe because his parents are AFU. Why would a well-adjusted child be afraid to tell his well-adjusted parents something like that? Why would he feel the need to tell them at all? I wouldn’t advocate lying to them about it or even hiding it but I don’t see a big deal if everybody in the equation has their heads screwed on straight. They either love their son enough to accept it or they don’t. THAT is the real issue here. He was afraid that they didn’t love him enough to accept his choice of lifestyle. And it absolutely is a choice. Yes, people make tough choices all the time. It’s what we do. Your lil cuz is no different.
“The point should be it’s a legitimate company that wants to air a legitimate ad during the Super Bowl. If they have the money and their ad is not offensive, they should be allowed to air it. ”
So you don’t think that CBS should have any rights?
http://www.covers.com/articles/articles.aspx?theArt=180423
tivo and his friends also believe in the flintstones and their dinosaur
maybe al quaida will want an ad to show their side? they have tons of saudi money to spend. don’t they deserve free speech and trials in new york city too or if not it’s discrimination.
I heard it was Peyton Manning and Dallas Clark!
In all reality, as disgusting as it sounds, they do have the right, I mean if SeriusXM can do cougar.com ads then why can’t anyone else do stool pusher ads? After all it is fair.
Anyone want to bet that is Pervy Harvin in the Peterson jersey?

Vox – There has to be something really wrong with anyone that wants to have sex with a man. And yes I’m including women in that.
We totally agree on that one!
Wow. Now they don’t have to show the ad. You folks have given it all the pub it needed. I’ll bet everyone that posted on this talkes about it with people they know. I think it’s funny and laugh. 99% of commercials are pushing something I don’t care about. Commercials don’t influence me anyway. And if they influence you (or your kids.) then maybe you need to do a better job of being a parent.
@ .VoxVeritas
Absolutely no evidence that it’s anything but a choice? Really?
Go do some research and get back to me, dude.
There’s no point in arguing with someone who obviously has a distinct opinion on the matter, because you’re not going to change your mind until something extreme happens in your life, as it did in mine. Some people open their minds more easily. You don’t sound like one of them.
That being said, you ARE entitled to your opinion. I’ve thought that way before so I also UNDERSTAND your opinion. However, I KNOW otherwise now. I’ve seen it first hand.
When your son comes out to you, let me know how you helped him make that “choice.” Your opinion changes real fast when you’re directly involved.
I am actually shocked at the PFT response, I expected 150 ignorant ass comments about how gays are horrible. Apparently it’s more offensive to be black than gay around here. Go figure.
Anyways, I don’t give a crap about some gay dating service commercial, they can’t be any lamer than match.com or stupid jewelry commercials.
Plus, if they show mancrunch.com and pleasedon’tkillunbornbabiesbecauseimtimtebow.com they can kill two birds with one stone. More gays = less unwanted babies, which means less abortions to make the angels cry. Everybody wins!
How’s this any different than airing those Troy Palumalu “head and shoulder” commercials?
Those are pretty gay…

maybe instead of the gay commercial they should air this to promote domestic abuse awareness. you know, warnign signs that something bad is about to happen..?

Being a male lesbian myself, I wonder how well received an all-girl dating site would be received.
You know, something like Chick-Feel-Lay.com. I hope if CBS televises this, they will give equal time to the ladies, if approached.
Oh well I guess I’ve been persuaded by reading all these other posts. I still think it could weird for pre-teens or youngins’ watching the game but oh well. We don’t need to have a conscience when it comes to raising are kids right? We don’t need to take responsibility for when are children become exposed to certain realities in life right?
Why should I be the protector of my boys’ sense of innocence on certain matters?
Screw it while we’re at it I think I’ll get the playboy channel for their room,and to hell with it I’m gonna go out develope a nice public cocaine habit too.
Somethings just don’t belong in a family setting.
“That’s exactly right, “gay rights” has always been about granting special rights to a group of people.”
Wrong, they have wanted equal rights, that’s all. Such as being able to get married, such as not being harassed for who they are.
The media would love to air anything that has a chance at poisoning and corrupting the minds of the youth of america…it’s what they do.
They just do it a lot less covertly these days.
The people that control the US media are pure evil and will be primarily responcible for our countrys ultimate demise.
Regardless of our opinions on abortion and gays, CBS has the right to show or not show whichever commercials it chooses. If the commercial meets FCC regs, CBS can chose to show it. However, CBS has to consider the financial impact of lost sponsors or the public outcry if they televise something controversial. If CBS determines that either ad is so controversial that it might hit them in the wallets, then they’ll pull the ad. I have a feeling that both of these commercials will be pulled. There are too many pro-abortion liberals and anti-gay conservatives in this country to keep them from showing.
“Go do some research and get back to me, dude. ”
Been there and done that, there is no “gay gene”. There is absolutely nothing to indicate that it’s anything but chosen or learned behavior.
State your case to the contrary if you think that you have one. And no I don’t care to hear about gay tree frogs. Other than that my mind and my ears are wide open.

Oh look, the guy who hates everything is sharing his opinion about contemporary social issues! I should go get my notebook so I can write down whatever valuable life lessons he has to offer.
Maybe the censors should get involved and ban any sort of racy or controversial ad all together and not even leave it up to CBS. Those things have their place for advertising to their demographic, not everyone. The Superbowl is a special telecast in that people off all ages (including children) around the world will be watching. Having to listen to Tebow give his religious views or two guys kissing is much worse than seeing some nipple on Janet Jackson and yet there was at tremendous uproar about that.
how is this different than the snickers ad with the two guys “kissing” when they eat the candy bar?
Why are religious freaks and gay activists deciding how this country is run.The people in the middle, who make up most of America need to stand up. The Pelosi’s and the Palin’s of this world are not America. I see plenty of normal people who whatever side they are on get along and can have an intelligent convo and debate on any subject. These hard line haters on both sides are so annoying and I wish they would go away. Tebow should stick to post game speeches, because since we have free speech, I will make sure every time he sucks to let him know he sucks, since he wants to let us know how he feels so bad. I am pro life, and pro choice. I think everyone has a right to live and everyone has a right to make their own decisions. On this gay commercial, I think CBS should say we are happy to have Mancrunch.com, but we think because many kids will be watching that not only will we restrict you from 2 men making out, but we will also restrict any making out at all even between a man and a woman. How hard is that? No pun intended.
The real test of freedom of speech is to defend speech you don’t believe in. There are those who will find the Tebow ad offensive just as there will be those who find the gay ad offensive. CBS may have just discovered how slippery the slope really is.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVSYaZONz68
Im with this guy on this whole matter. worth listening to. Especially if you like to laugh. Majik I imagine you wouldnt be interested then.
I just watched it. You homophobes are getting all worked up over nothing. It’s actually kind of funny. The Doritos ad that mocks it (for a split second) is kind of gross though.
Considering all the media outlets I’ve seen this discussed, I’m thinking ManCrunch has gotten more publicity than their 2.5 million dollar commercial ever could.
They might even be hoping the ad is rejected so they can save that 2.5 mill.
Smart business decision.
Gays are not gay because they were born that way, some of them are gay because they were born in Minneapolis and forced to watch the Vikings.
I wonder if Tebow had a 15 year old daughter get knocked up, if he’d still be pro life. Ruin your daughters entire life to save a glop of cells.
I just watched the commercial.
The funniest thing is the “No Entry” sign in the background. Nice touch.
I didn’t know the PFT community was so stupid. I saw the following things that are disgusting: Vox said that “not all discrimination is bad” someone compared gays to the KKK, and several of you feel that some how gay people are going to infect your kids (god I hope you guys don’t actually have kids) with gayness.
I didn’t think this would be hard to get across but apparently I have to do everything around here. First: Mike, thank you for reporting this (no sarcasm at all). Second: When he said two gay guys harmlessly making out I’m sure you all recoiled in horror but I’m pretty sure this is going to be about the same amount of making out as the disney channel. Third: If they are ok with one controversial ad, then why not be ok with another? For the moron that said “what if the KKK wanted to do an ad” the KKK are a group that promotes hatred and violence agains’t a group of people, not an ad that promotes a dating website.
I could say things like “if it was two girls…” or “freedom of speech…” but I am sick of making well thought arguments for my points to people who clearly can’t process them. If I have to sit and watch those repulsive godaddy.com commercials (I don’t care that she drives a race car she is fugly) than you all can stomach two male models pretending that they love each other for 30 seconds. I hope every single person that thinks they shouldn’t play this commercial has their first born son be gay. Actually no I don’t, your poor kids are going to have it tough already with their parents being stupid, ignorant, and hateful, if they were gay you people might just kick them out or kill them. As a group the PFT visitors have never disgusted me more. I know not all of you are ok with what CBS is doing but the majority of the comments I read leads me to believe that the majority opinion of PFT readers hate gays. I really hope I am wrong.
Mike – Thanks again for posting this, I know this is asking a lot and I would understand if you don’t want to turn away potential visitors or your regulars but I would appreciate it if you followed this story. This is probably asking too much but I would love to know you opinion and argument behind it. If you are ok with what CBS is doing at least I can see the other argument at its strongest form, if you are for it maybe you will change one or two minds of your regular viewers. Either way thanks.
If they can get 2 girls to make out, I’ll be able to cancel my half time entertainment.
Come on guys, lets push this to the #1 most commented story!
@mikeoxlong …
The media isn’t about destroying impressionable young minds. It’s about making money. That’s all media, from Hollywood to MSNBC to Fox News to Pat Robertson. Money. Ka-Ching. If you think otherwise, you’re a bloody fool.
@wrath7771 …
Amen. Although I probably wouldn’t have mentioned slippery slopes in this particular discussion. (Sorry, couldn’t resist
Wow, judging by how polarizing this whole “gay” issue is, I have to give Bush credit for using same sex marriage as a red herring during the controversial Iraq War years.
We do love feigning moral outrage over relatively trivial matters, don’t we?
Will someone please protect the gay people? Men who like men like need to meet other men who like men. Its hard out there with all those straight men everywhere you look. Ever wonder why heterosexuals are called “straight.”
Will Tebow star in both ads?
This has nothing to do with free speech you dumba$$es. CBS is a corporation who is free to accept money for advertising as they see fit. If they ran the Tebow ad for free and refused to do it for the gays, then that’s discrimation. Otherwise, it’s a matter of taste, knowing your target audience, and above all else…A BUSINESS DECISION. It’s the same reason why certain people can do and say many a real racist thing everyday, but someone saying, “nappy headed hoes” loses their job. GREEN. It’s a poor business decision to show two guys making out, it has nothing to do with morality or the first amendment. You chumps need to stop spinning it as such.
lol Vox you have to be the most ignorant dude in the world. Nobody chooses to gay, they are clearly born that way. Nearly every living species on Earth has homosexual behavior and humans are no different. If you want to think differently that’s fine, you will just be wrong.
@nachobidness
There is certainly a free speech issue here. CBS is a corporation but as far as the law is concerned corporations are people. They get all the rights and liberties of people. We could talk all day about how stupid that is but the point is when you come right down to it I think as a matter of law they are with in their rights to not air this commercial. That doesn’t mean that everyone who likes America, and like equality for all people regardless of race, gender, orientation, religion and so forth (so everyone but Vox) should shut up about it. We are with in our rights to try and make this as big a deal as possible to both help out this company that CBS is screwing over, and to ensure that people know all the information about the subject to make an intelligent decision on their opinion.
For the people that its not disgusting that CBS do this, doesn’t it worry you in the slightest that Vox agrees with you? That in its self would make me at least consider changing opinions.
Some of the comments here are hilarious and somewhat disturbing at the same time, especially all those saying “I don’t want my kids to see 2 men making out”.
I bet the people making these comments don’t feel the same way about all the beer commercials.
Ironic, really, as the kids in question apparently have rednecks for parents and, therefore, I can pretty much guarantee that Bud Light will have a greater negative effect on these kids’ lives than homosexuality.
I don’t really see why there is such a big deal over this. All they have to do is have Tebow film another commercial to follow this one. “If my father had been gay…”
@.VoxVeritas :
While a private company, like CBS, can choose not to run the ad, they have to have some non-discriminating reason for not running it. If their reason is merely b/c they don’t agree with the content, then they are doing exactly what the first amendment prohibits.
I agree CBS doesn’t have to allow the commercial, but the brain trusts better come up with a better reason than they disagree with the message.

all I poster was this is disgusting and not family orientated.
and asked if Tebow in his good nature would run an anti-gay ad? as the book tebow prefers says god punished bad people by making them gay.
i can quote the scripture too.
So why is my comment not posted?
It is a legit question
p.s. I have no issue with gays…
but the bible does………..
just watched add it is disturbing…
as one fan pointed out, this may be the best marketing idea inthe history of martketing.
They probably never had the 3.2 mill for the thirty second commercial slot, and yet everyone has seen their advert or heard of it.
BOOM! just got my marketing thesis ready…. It is titled MANCRUNCH!!!! (joe buck’s thrid favorite website)
I’ve agreed with Pervy, Jeff, and jeffragnarchicken all in the same comments section. I feel dirty. At least I still think Vox and JimmySmith are idiots.
yem123′s post: “For the record I also want to say that I think all of those GoDaddy commercials shouldn’t be aired either. They are turning women into pieces of meat to sell an internet service. That is terrible and the cheapest form of marketing. ”
What record do you speak of? How women that break their way into either professional sports or modeling sign contracts to parage their “meat” around to make money? Get over it! No one is turning anyone into anything they aren’t volunteering to be paid very well to do… WILLINGLY! They aren’t being smuggled out of their homeland to be slaves… THEY’RE GETTING RICH FLAUNTING THEIR HOT BODY!
Let’s see you turn down the phat paycheck to put on tank top and some tight shorts and smile really pretty. Well, then again, they aren’t calling you either, are they?
Too bad… GOOOOOOOOO DADDY! WOOHOO!
Hilarious, Ridiculous, Incredible
As a gay man…
(insert epithet, phallic reference, etc. here)
I don’t like the ad because, while it’s funny on some levels, it’s cheesy and poorly produced/directed. It was obviously slapped together on short notice and a shoe-string budget to be used to taunt CBS, in the wake of the pending Tebow debacle. into some sort of fairness-doctrine controversy. I don’t like that game.
OTOH… it would be interesting to see the comments had the ad been presented in the style of match.com or eHarmony.com (a method I would embrace whole-heartedly) showing a couple as the reminisce over their meeting on one of those services. (not that such a meeting is likely given the reluctance of such websites to embrace those of us seeking the same-sex version of the societal norm.)
Ps- To those who say: We don’t care as long as we don’t have to see it. We see you and your progeny kissing/holding hands/making out every where we turn, everywhere we go.. What would it be like if society labeled the simple, routine act of kissing your wife/husband good-bye next to the car in the driveway every mourning to be repugnant (or even down right illegal)?
lol rosenthal said “gay”
I think PFT planet should get together and start “womancrunch” and air a commercial with lots of chicks making out. think about it: a beer commercial, some hot chicks getting sweaty, and back to the football action. this is what Super Bowl Sunday was meant to be!
Midway Monster sounds like a Bears fan who wants to get into Cutler’s Midway! (may not be the best name to post with on this thread)
