CBS refuses to run ad from gay dating site with horrible name

[Priran]

funfact: sath is 327% more tolerable with a jack mccoy avatar

A gay dating site ad with 2 guys telling how they had a hard time meeting other guys in their town, so they went to this site and found a good relationship...

Would be perfectly fine for the Super Bowl.

Misguided, but fine.


But it wouldn't piss people off and create a huge hissy fit to make people remember their name, so they don't go that route.

Which is hilarious cuz I doubt a single person in this thread could name the website if they had 2 seconds to answer right now.

Have you ever seen super bowl ads? The more provocative ones are the more popular ones. Showing some stupid eHarmony shit isn't going to get attention during the fucking super bowl.

[Mizango]

don't worry, I've got long arms, I can still reach around

loooooool

[Ksandra]

Because you're a bigot. Dude, we get it already, you can just go jump back into your delorean.

this ^

I'm going to cry if all my favorite programming is only allowed to air Hot Wheels and Barbie ads.

this ^

"hey guys I don't mind gays as long as they're not all gay about it"

and omg this ^

Holy shit, someone's about to figure out why this shit pisses me off.

Because commercials know what sells and therefore use it to, I don't know, effectively advertise?


As I stated, this commercial was tastefully done. You don't really see the "kissing", it's done in a comedic light, and there's no "suck my cock you hot man"-style phrases being spoken.

Way less provocative that others you see on a daily basis. (not just the superbowl).

Because turning the super bowl from a family event millions of people have loved for 40+ years into a fucking 6 hour contest for who can shock the most people with their commercials that make you need to keep the kids out is stupid as shit.

[Ksandra]

They removed the game from the superbowl?


Don't get me wrong, in idealism then yes I could understand that argument. But you've definitely shown some bigotry in what you deem appropriate and inappropriate content.

[Mizango]

You know what? They should run an in your face ad campaign, complete with Steven Segal wearing a dickless leotard like the one they had in the Kids in the hall movie "Brain Candy". But seriously, if anyone gets offended by something this trivial and wants to all of a sudden shelter your kids then I'd look in the mirror and question what deep seeded issues you're trying to suppress.

Kids are naturally inquisitive and they will either ask you or ask their friends later on in life much like many of us did. My parents didn't decided to talk to me about sex until I was 15, by then I had lost my virginity for 2 years and learned how to "fuck" by watching pornos at a friends house. I don't see what the big deal is at all, just explain it as if you would if a guy and girl were doing the same shit in front of your kid or something.

Your kids are extensions of you and learn what is socially right and wrong from their parents. For instance, fags are evil and sick, Niggers are people you don't date because we sell drugs and steal shit, Muslims are rag headed terrorists that have an insatiable taste for blood and America is the best country on the goddamn planet. The cycle of bigotry, racism and other social ills have to stop somewhere right? Sadly that first step begins at home, but with so many close minded people out there I don't see it ever coming to an end.

And yes, I am speaking as a parent.


Edit: Found the Kids in the hall video lol. Goddamn that was a great fucking movie.

No, I have not.

You have PRESUMED bigotry, and are basically sitting here calling me a liar saying I wouldn't be offended if they weren't gay.

Perfectly fine with beer and titties.

I'm not intolerant in the least. I simply don't like this shit interfering with family events for no good reason.


FFS if anyone's being

stubborn and complete intolerance of any creed, belief, or opinion that differs from one's own.

It's you guys, I expressed my opinion and you've spent 3 pages telling me how wrong it is and what a terrible person I am for having it, and how I should never reproduce.

Seriously, you guys are just fucking absurd, this is way past stupid.

I'm not racist in the least. I just hate when blacks walk on the same side of the street as me for no good reason.

This comparison to my statement pretty well expresses your intelligence perfectly, thanks.

Wouldn't want an intolerant bigot to think I'm an idiot. Oh no!

If you can't see the difference between appropriate content and "I hate niggers," idiot does not begin to describe the level you're functioning on.


Probably about the level where you'd say things like "intolerant bigot."

[Plow]

You not smart stupid person you.

Two guys kissing is appropriate content. Period. You're wrong if you disagree.
