RW 'christians' whine over homophobic Snickers ad being pulled

[ck4829]

A Snickers commercial that aired during the Super Bowl and featured two car mechanics accidentally kissing was immediately pulled from the airwaves following complaints from several gay rights organizations that labeled it as “homophobic.”

The immediate removal of the ads by Mars Inc. has been questioned by some Christians, however. They feel that a double standard is being made by media between Christians and other groups, such as homosexuals.

“Corporate America jumps when GLAAD (Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) and other homosexual groups complain,” said Robert Knight, director of Media Research Center’s (MRC) Culture and Media Institute. “I wonder if they wouldn't have yanked that Snickers ad so quickly had pro-family groups complained about it.”

10. Also from the article.....

“My take on it is, why is it homophobic for two heterosexual men to kiss by mistake?” said Los Angeles ad woman Claudia Caplan in the Washington Post. “If a homosexual man kissed a heterosexual woman by mistake, would that be considered hetero-phobic?”

What utter stupidity. And they pay this woman for her words.

Just to clarify for you, you stupid ninny, its not considered homophobic because they accidentally kissed, its considered homophobic because they tried to beat each other's brains out because they accidentally kissed. So if a homosexual man kissed a heterosexual woman by mistake and then tired to beat her brains out because of it, then yes, that would probably be considered hetero-phobic.

What a MORAN!!!!!! http://eliteleague.co.uk/forum/images/smilies/duh!.gif
