Snickers

My thoughts on the Snickers "anti gay" ads that ran during the Superbowl...

Actually only one out of 4 ads aired, and I didn't find it particularly offensive (unlike blogs such as AmericaBlog, who is in a outright tizzy).

No, it was the website that did it....

There, 2 football players are shown reacting to the ads, with intellectual commentary such as "Ewwww" and "That's not right".

Masterfoods USA, a Division of Mars, Incorporated responded:

"Feedback from our target consumers has been positive."

I'm sure it was...

America, slipping backwards culturally, still believing the World takes them seriously. Quick! Do something manly!
