Commercials

I cannot believe there’s a controversy over the SNICKERS Super Bowl ad where the two guys accidentally kiss and then “do something manly” afterwards to fix that situation.

Apparently- some homosexual groups (whatever the hell that means) complained about this ad- there’s nothing wrong with being gay. There’s nothing unmanly about being gay. You shouldn’t have to do something manly after a gay experience.

I’m really not sure what the precise complaint is. I do know that there’s absolutely no reason to think that this would be offensive.

Gwhine that being gay isn’t unmanly. I think most of us would see two guys kissing as the epitome of being “unmanly”- but call me a kook for going with the norm!

I see the suicide prevention folks are upset about the GM ad where the robot jumps from the bridge after being laid off from the plant he worked in. Another group of whiners with nothing to do but whine about something that shouldn’t bother them. You’re free to whine, as long as I’m free to say you’re whiny for doing so…

Don’t get me started with advertising to begin with- 99% of it is wasted cash…it’s like tossing money into a hole in the ground. I didn’t have an urge for a SNICKERS after seeing what I thought was a semi-humorous commercial…nor will I go out and buy a GM-made vehicle because of the semi-humorous robot ad.

No one goes out to buy a SNICKERS because they see a SNICKERS commercial. If you don’t SNICKERS exists, and you can buy one in any store on earth- you’re been living in a rock, and 1, 000 SNICKERS ads wouldn’t make you want to buy their candy.

Super Bowl commercials can be entertaining…but let’s get real- these commercials aren’t causing people to go out and buy any of these products. Most people aren’t mindless fools who buy products based on a catchy commercial. People buy the candy bars they like think taste good (shocking concept, I know). People buy the cars they can afford, that have the features they want, that have the body styles they desire.

My favorite ad? Definitely the Bud Light hitchhiker commercial. Will I ever buy Bud Light? Since I don’t drink- no. If I did drink- no again…I’d buy the beer that I think has a nice flavor…not the beer I saw an ad for. The commercial and the product just don’t connect for me, and I’m guessing this is the same for nearly everyone out there as well.

Back to the main topic- whiny people annoy. They often whine for no reason. Whining with a reason can be a good thing…this stuff here is just absurd. Not shocking tho. This is what you get with the current culture- people who are far out of the norm who demand that the rest of us embrace them for being out of the norm. Ain’t gonna happen. Good luck next time.

So, what’s the outcome of this and other complaints lodged by gay activists? The conclusions are as follows:

1. Gays love to wear short shorts and march in parades with many other gays. They like to do this while kissing each other and humping other gays in front of men, women, and children- basically anyone who will watch their antics.

2. Gays love to whine about gay-related issues. If they think that someone is upset by their ‘gayness’- it’s time to complain. If someone doesn’t embrace their lifestyle decisions- complain. Demand the offending item be put to a quick death…demand that those bad ‘gay-haters’ be punished. Maybe sensitivity training would be the best idea.

3. Gays love to hold their wrists all funny near their waistline…

4. Gays love to attend events where they can chant gay songs and talk badly about conservatives who don’t love them enough.

5. Gays have an accent uniquely their own.

6. Gays LOVE a parade.

7. Gays love to dress in drag.

8. Gays love Cher

9. Gays don’t like Snickers?

Hey- maybe these are wrong. But, look at the media, look at the gay “rights groups” or gay “activist” groups and find a better conclusion. Can I be blamed for the message they constantly choose to send to us?

When you have something to truly be upset about, come back and talk to us. When you have a legitimate complaint, complain in front of everyone. But, until then- back off. Most of us don’t embrace your lives, and we never will. Whining about a silly commercial is just going to make it worse for you.
