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

[Skyylya]

As long as i'm entertained and don't have to turn my ahead away cause something is gross to me.

I don't particularly like watching football, half the reason I watch the superbowl is for the commercials. Keep me laughing with your 3 million/30s and i'm good.

idk goatse at the super bowl would be pretty hilarious

For the record, if I ever owned a gay club or a gay dating site it would be called the Manhole.

i wanna be a porn star named "The Slot Machine"

i just wanna say; i think the inability to have serious discussions in real everyday life about race and opinions thereof is the root to all the ignorance that makes people want to bash their heads into a wall. people are so scared to talk about differences that they keep it inside and let those prejudgments fester until theyre full blown dumb.

From the talk so far in this thread, is seems that people do not want to admit fault within themselves. Everyone is racist, to a degree. It can be in a way that veiws another in a very positive light, or it can be in a way that veiws another in a negative light. It really runs the full spectrum of extremes and middle ground. To ignore that fact is just silly. Its a kin to saying you never lie.

Here is a small litmus test for everyone, its a free word association. What are the first three words you think of when you here/read the words:

Positive Images:
Great at math
Great analytical mind
Great cooks
Very religeous (some might take as a negative but oh well)
Strong cultural background

Negative Images:
Gangsta
Gangster
Mobster
Mafia

Seriously with a name like the Manhole, there's no way I won't make money. Here's your chance to invest! Sorry, no darkie money allowed.

This one (the snickers one) would actually be more of an issue for the slightly older kids, the ones that are beginning to understand sexuality, and hear differing views on things like gayness from all around them (and likely chipping in their own point of view-- which I wouldn't want based in things like that commercial unexpectedly).

My point in this whole thing is this:

I realize that as a parent, it's your own responsibility to judge when things you might want to share with your children will contain aspects you don't want to put in front of them at that point, and make your decisions accordingly.

But come on, the freaking super bowl? Really? Fuck that.

I apologize for the double post, but plow... Your absolutely right. And what i wish other people would understand is that sporting events do not carry the TV parental Guidelines.

TV RATINGS

The television industry designed a TV ratings system to give parents more information about the content and age-appropriateness of TV programs. These ratings, called the TV Parental Guidelines, are modeled after the familiar movie ratings, which parents have known and valued for decades. They are designed to be easily recognizable and simple to use. The Guidelines apply to most television programs, including those directed specifically to young children. However, sports and news shows do not carry the Guidelines.

The Guidelines appear in the upper left corner of the TV screen at the beginning of TV shows, and often again after commercial breaks.
http://tvguidelines.org/

So, how is a person able to make a qualified judgement if the agency designed to provide us with a rating system cannot do it. They must use their own judgement. You develop that through personal experience. I remember watching the superbowl for as long as i can remember. I remember seeing the Budwieser Clydesdale horses, those singing frogs, The spotted dog, funny commercials celebrating a great play, funny commercials disparing over a great play, and so on.

I do not remember seeing any advertizements for dating services (gay or straight). I do not rmemeber seeing advertizements for pro-life campaings. Those types of adds do not have a history within the superbowl. Infact, if one of those adds were to popup during this superbowl, without me knowing, i would say wtf? An anti-abortion add during the superbowl?? If it wasnt for this thread, I would not have expected to see those adds at all, i would have been blind sided.

I rather be part of the soap box crew getting on your ass for being a racist cockass then being proud of being a racist.

please explain to me how being racist deserves a badge? No, you're not saying what everything thinks. That's a fake bullshit justification. Not everyone see's a person dressed as a gangsta and thinks "worthless scum!". Mostly the only thing I can think of is how can those clothes be comfortable.

okay, so if I'm walking down the street and I see a single person dressed in that KKK gear I would probably just think somethings going on. I know what that outfit means and everything but I wouldn't jump the gun and call the police demanding him to be detained. If he started curbstomping fags and blacks then I would do something, otherwise, if he's doing nothing wrong. What is the issue?

Do I think it'd be lowclass and extremely rude to be wearing that? Yes, I would.

also, I think the symbolism between the KKK garbs and gangsta clothes are vastly different. Pretty sure the gangsta clothing has become more of an accepted style whereas KKK clothing represents pure hatred. I don't think pure evil when I see baggy pants walking down the street.

and you are retarded. God, I don't even know how someone could live their life hating blacks because most of em wear gangsta clothes or whatever the fuck. Or assuming all middle easterners are terrorists or any more of the bullshit that you've said. Oh, boohoo. You've experienced the negative aspects of their society/culture or whatever. You're nothing better then the people who hate americans for our culture.

I like to think everyone has a use in this world though. Those persons use is to show the socially useful people how not to be. By socially useful, I mean people who will actually contribute to humanities growth as a species. Glad you're not a part of it.

this has derailed for too long, also. so you won't hear from me again. only say this so you know I'm not pussying out. I just don't like taking part in derails :F

If I were to post that picture out of the context of this thread and what has happened and asked the same question, a vast majority would have come up with things like "I'd kick his ass" "I hope he's walking down a black neighborhood", ignorant, hick, redneck, uneducated, white trash, trailer trash, etc etc.

There is a negative connotation associated with being a member of the KKK because of the violence and hatred associated with their revival in the early 20th century.

"Gangsta" dress and values should be viewed just as bad. They don't provide any positive influences on the world we live in, just negative. I find it hard to believe that upstanding citizens defend "gangsta", they defy everything a good American should be and they drag their communities down with them.

People in this country are taught how to act. They're scared of the topic of race, and would rather cover it up than face it. Look at Don Imes, he has a view of the world coming from a different generation, and part of that view includes being a bit racist. Why should he be persecuted for reciting a line that every rapper has been using since the 90s? Just because he's white? Why can blacks call white people whatever they want and no backlash on them? Every movie with a bunch of black guys and a white guy, the white guy is always snowflake, or wonder bread. But that racism doesn't count.

I personally find the justifications for allowing people to be racists towards whites and the justifications for whites being racist on par with each other.

I guess the lesson learned here is that it doesn't matter where everyone is from as long as we're all the same religion.

While i agree with the meaning behind your post, would you fight (literally or through your vote) to insure everyones right to express themselves in the way they see fit? Whether they be Catholic, Christian, Muslim, Conservative, Liberal, or even KKK?

Not everyone agrees with what i have to say, but that doesnt mean that their opinion is any less valid than my own. Regardless, i will stand up for their right to say what they think. As it insures my own right to voice my own opinion when i want to.

Though i have to agree with you, this thread has been derailed in a rather fierce way. It kind of makes sence when you read the whole thread... but it has moved from its original topic.

The KKK has the right to their opinion just like anyone else does. The problem comes when they start forcing on others. They clearly shouldn't be allowed to express themselves "as they see fit" without restriction, just like the Catholics and Muslims etc shouldn't, but I'm not going to support anyone who wants to bust up a private Klan meeting when they're doing nothing more than sitting around being racist amongst themselves.

The sad part is you make some good points while missing the big picture. Next time you want to be taken seriously dont start first post with "I hate blacks".

But then it would be another post that doesn't get read.

The correct group to hate is poor people. Do you see rich blacks, latinos or any other minority steal stuff or be incredible dicks? It seems poverty makes people act like sub-humans. It's not a coincidence that blacks and latinos tend to be lower on the economic scale, and also happen to be the most annoying. Yes, the correct answer is hate poor people.

Don't worry. I don't read your posts anyway if they're longer than a sentence or two at a time.

If this secret ever gets out, the rich will just come up with other ways to separate the middle and lower classes.

Late to the party but the ad in the first link is hilarious. I loved the shot of the third guy with the WTF look at the end.
