On Thursday, FoxNews.com reported that Mancrunch.com, a gay dating site, was still waiting to hear if CBS would approve their Super Bowl ad. According to Mancrunch.com reps, "The 30-second spot shows two men excitedly watching the game, before their hands brush as they both reach into a bowl of chips. Suddenly, the two begin making out, much to the shock of a guy sitting close by." Today, CNBC.com's Darren Rovell tweets that "Mancrunch.com has just received a formal rejection of its ad from CBS."
Not to worry, though; thanks to the magic of YouTube, you can still see the commercial. Just be warned, it's a bit much -- sexual orientation aside, there's no way in hell a Vikings fan and a Packers fan would ever make out. (via KSK)
CBS also rejected another commercial, this one from GoDaddy.com that featured Danica Patrick and an actor portraying a former football player named "Lola." Rovell talked to GoDaddy CEO Bob Parsons about CBS' decision:
Parsons said that he was told by the network that the ad could be seen as "offensive to a certain class of people." "I'm mystified," Parsons said. "We had five ads and the others easily slipped through."Actually, it's not mystifying at all.

I bet if you had a daughter and she was going at it with another girl you might not think it was so great and by the way if you think 2 girls together is so hot you must be gay yourself you freak.
DISGUSTING!!
CBS has gay characters on their SOAPS....What's the big deal?
It's the wrong target audience. Plain and simple.
I wanted to come and see if the posts here would be the usual ones and they are. We've got your religous intolerents saying the world is going to go to hell if we let them gay folk have their way. Then we've got the bigots like Dude who are just uneducated low lifes. Finally and fortuantely there is a growing number of people who actually have some sense and care about others. If we can just get rid of the first two groups the world will be a much better place,and yes, I do believe in a higher power. I don't however believe in the hateful god you fundies worship and blindly follow.

((((((((((((((
well DUH Goodyear, have you noticed all the soaps are going off the AIR???? Has it occurred to you that people who watch the superbowl don't all watch SOAPS??? Hellloooooo
to valgaavmiko; a gay add would be for the wrong target audience, but an anti-choice add is OK ? No, not TOO hypocritical ! Be honest, this is just another example of CBS's selective censorship.
Content aside...that was one of the worst commercials I have ever seen! The acting was terrible, the ad itself was terrible, the singing, the song & the jingle as a whole sucked!!! CBS probably passed just based on that alone!!! Whoever wrote that jingle, and that commercial should be fired! As for the gay aspect, that never really did mix with sports well, but if they wanted a fair shot, they should have made a more tactful ad. Was this a dating service or an escort service??? Can anyone say overtly sexual? Completely unnecessary!!!
Thank God CBS still has some morals and values!! Do we not see that Gos has taken his hand from our country? WEvery knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord" will happen when He breaks through the Eastern Sky. However, when the end of time comes or death comes it is then too late then to confess.
Debbie, You just might be blowing this out of proportion!!!
Debbie
You are right on. I appreciate people like you that confesses the truth.
Our Country is way off from having morals. We can only pray for everyone to see the light.
Jesus was so liberal he probably was gay..He would not like to see all these evangelicos who aren't even catholics talking about who jesus was and they don't even have a clue. Remember the first christian faith founded by Jesus and his apostles is Roman Catholicism. Those evangelicos are all breakaways.
You are so ridiculous. Remember when he comes down to take those home with him he still sees hatred as a sin. When you say that his children are gross or not the same as you is hate! Get a life.
Yes your are right, how could we let people in this country do what they like. Why can't we go back to a time when thing were better in this land, you know the one I am talking about,the were, Black, Jew, Women, and any one who is not a White Cristan man had no say in what go's on. How can we let two men get marridy, they will mess thing up for the rest of us who want to be with women. Buy the way I am being sarcait
WOW Debbie....can honestly say not too much surprises anymore, but seeing that illiterate, moralistic, idiots like you exist makes me realize how unhappy God must be to see how his almost perfect human creation has evolved.
Before you spout more crap about how gays will cause the end of the world, just remember Jesus had two dads. ;)
Debbie, you're nothing but a bigot who is full of nothing but hate and prejudice. Please shut the hell up.
Wow, heaven is going to be a lonely place for you. So few will be good enough to get in. And who are all of you going to judge once you get there? BTW One more word for you...proofread. Or is that two?
Debbie,
Keep your silly comments to your self.
Do you also believe that people should kill their own children for being disobedient? Didn't the bible tell us that? (Deuteronomy 21:18-21)
Stop passing judgement on others.
Debbie, no one wants to go to your Hillbilly Heaven!
