No Snickers in Gay Bars - another example of hysteria

Homophobia aside, this commercial was so poorly thought up, it instantly made me NOT want to eat Snickers. It has nothing to do with the guys kissing. There was so much negative imagry, though, that you almost forget about the product itself.

 

I thought it was making fun of 'macho' men and their insecurities...

 

The ad would have been better if at the end they shoved snickers bars up each others asses to prove they weren't gay. [tedhaggardfont/]

 

Saw some of "Deliverance" on AMC last night, and there's their follow-up commercial. Bring back the cheesy acoustic guitar guy from the previous commercial to strum the banjo this time. And can we get Ned Beatty?

Tagline: Snickers will make you squeal like a pig.

Putting in a call to the Mars Candy maketing department as we speak....

 

Need something to stick in that 'purty mouth'?

Grab a Snickers. It satisfies.

 

"Snickers satisfies – Not that there's anything wrong with that."

 

And Baby Ruth, once a powerhouse among candy bars, sees its status as America's premier scataphallic treat take a turn for the worse.

 

Well, that's for certain a moldable attitude the advertisers LOVE.

But I'd expect that 98 percent of beer drinkers drink Bud Light because they like the taste, not the comercials; 98 percent of Toyota owners bought the car because of the way it outperforms others and not a commercial, and 98 percent of people who plop quarters down at the vending machine to get a Snickers do so because they're hungry and like peanuts, caramel and chocolate. Not a damn $2.5 million commercial.

Fenian, we didn't need your remark. We already know you're an oversensitive liberal. If anyone was going to find a problem with it, it would be you. But Zeke? Hell, that comment would have gotten their top political brass all over YOUR ass.

 

98 percent of Bud Light drinkers drink Bud Light because they're morons who don't know any better.

Not because of the taste, which is of ass.

Come to think of it, that can be their new ad campaign:

Bud Light: When you want to toss a salad, reach for the beer that tastes like you have.

 

Yawn, your opinion of my post is hardly registering, especially when you opened your moron mouth with the phrase "hate crimes, my ass" in your opening post.

 

Two guys ripping chest hairs out is hardly what I call hate. In your world, maybe, and that's your problem.

 

Neal: "Del... Why did you kiss my ear?"
Del: "Why are you holding my hand?"
Neal: (frowns) "Where's your other hand?"
Del: "Between two pillows..."
Neal: "THOSE AREN'T PILLOWS!"
DEL & NEAL: (jump out of bed)"AAARRRRGGGGHHHHH!"
NEAL: "See that Bears game last week?"
DEL: "Yeah, hell of a game. Hell of a game."
