Snickers Commercial (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHkoZ7ngAM0)that aired during the Super Bowl.

"It offends us" (http://www.foxnews.com/wires/2007Feb06/0,4670,SuperBowlSnickersAd,00.html)they cried!

One of the funnier commercials shown has been pulled. Mars, Inc. folded. What a shame.

I watched that one on You Tube. I thought it was hilarious.

I found it funny too...but I guess we have to be politically correct about everything and not offend anyone and live in a gray, bland world...that's how they want it.

Wasn't it GLAAD that said it was offensive to use the word "faggot" when saying "I never called him a faggot?"

Look at all the attention it has gotten because they pulled it. Why wouldn't they?

Why be so tolerant? When these politically correct s.o.b.'s repeatedly complain about everything under the sun they're sounding more and more like the boy who cried wolf. It's a damn boring world some are trying to force the rest of us into.

:hitout:

Heaven for the politically correct = people doing/seeing/saying/acting nothing.

After seeing the commercial, I have an urge to buy a case of snickers, just to show the cupcakes at GLAAD I dont give a flying F**k what they have to say. Mars shouldnt give to GLAAD's liberal bullshit. Mars should stand up and tell them they dont have a majority. Not even a small piece. The only voice they should have is one thats an octave high.

I sent emails out asking Mars not to give in & to begin showing the commercials again. More folks should do the same.

Suicide-prevention group wants GM ad pulled

Automaker says it will keep Super Bowl spot with despondent robot on site

DETROIT - A Super Bowl ad showing a quality-obsessed General Motors Corp. robot jumping off a bridge in a dream sequence after screwing up on the job is drawing criticism from a suicide prevention group.
But the world's largest automaker is defending the ad and says it has no plans to change the spot, which is making the rounds online and is featured on GM's Web site after making its broadcast debut during Sunday's big game.
The ad, called "Robot," opens with the machine in question dropping a screw while working on a GM assembly line. It's kicked out of the plant and finds work waving a "Condos for Sale" sign and holding up a speaker at a fast-food joint, all the while appearing saddened by watching shiny, new GM vehicles drive by.

Another Super Bowl commercial targeted for elimination (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17050378/)


As the Eric Carmen song "All By Myself" plays in the background, the despondent robot leaps off a bridge into the water below, only to wake up inside the darkened factory — waking up from its dream.
The New York-based American Foundation for Suicide Prevention says it started getting complaints the day after the ad aired and as of Thursday had fielded more than 250 e-mails or calls. It wants GM to pull the ad from its Web site, try to get it off video-sharing Web sites such as YouTube and apologize.
"It was inappropriate to use depression and suicide as a way to sell cars," said Robert Gebbia, the foundation's executive director.

the last time i checked, there's nobody old enough to buy a car that believes a machine can dream.

I'd really like to see all of these offended groups start attacking each other. First GLAAD could be offended by the depiction of trans-sexuals on an ad, then the Christian Coalition could be offended by GLAAD's promotion of trans-sexuality, then MADD could be offended because the CC mentioned drinking wine at communion, then the Alcoholic Beverage Association could file a strongly worded protest . . . .

If the Human Rights Campaign and the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation thought the Mars ad was offensive they would really hate the following.

Fuck you, you bunch of whiney, candy ass little shits. I don't even eat candy and I'm going to buy a Snickers bar just to poke a stick in your politically correct eye.

If it had been women in the ad, would all those offended men have been turned on instead? Would they all have hoped they would rub that motor oil all over each other?

Well, if they were hot women... But if they had been the female equivalent of those two fat hairy middle aged guys... ugh. :D

It really doesn't matter if the actors were female or male; or what shape their bodies were in. The ad should not have been pulled

Duh. Of course it shouldn't have. One has to wonder whether anyone would have protested if it were two hot women. Although then it wouldn't have been funny, just sexy.
