The Snickers Kiss

If you watched the Super Bowl on Sunday, you may have seen the Snickers commercial in which two mechanics were working on a car and one started eating a Snickers. The other guy came up to him and started eating the other end. They each chewed until they locked lips and then backed away from each other, made "ewww" faces and tried to act macho.


The Human Rights Campaign and GLAAD are now calling the ad offensive to gays. Does this offend you?


Here's a link to the video if you haven't seen it:

I never said I wanted it pulled off the air, I just said it wasn't a good commercial.

Halo walks in the room and unwraps a snickers bar discarding the wrapping in the trash. After all the good stuff is what's inside! :-)

Good morning ladies. In a perfect world advertising should hit all views as you said Caly. If you go to the link you posted scroll down and dive into all the opinions it evoked. Snickers placed itself on a hot topic and the small tasty candy bar is still being seen. "My mom always said that life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what your going to get." I hope that this got your excitement up and note, I understand your points of view.

Halo gets up, tousles Caly and Tings hair and leaves the room.....Play it again Halo

Hi Jules,
I agree with your take on the Snickers ad. I thought of it more as making fun of homophobics. It was most probably a basic reaction to accidently kissing another guy--and that made it funny. I don't think it was offensive to gays (or at least I don't think it was meant to be.)

Hmmmm... I would make an ewww face if I kissed a guy to, so, I did not take it as offensive.
