So if a man and woman "accidentally" kissed each other, and quickly backed off...would it be considered a heterophobic commercial by straight people?

Probably not. Just another pointless thing for people of all sexualities to complain about.

The reason they made the commercial with two guys "kissing" (notice I put quotations around it, it wasn't a real kiss) is because it was supposed to be funny. It is slightly more amusing to see two (supposedly) straight men accidentally kiss than a man and a woman kiss. After all, men and women kiss all the time and it would come across more as awww thats sweet than funny.

That's just my opinion on it. The commercial was not made to be offensive, and I can't believe people thought that it was offensive.

I'm no expert on what the look a man gives another man when he becomes infatuated with him, but I took the excessive 'happiness' in the commercial as a way of promoting how awesomely delicious a Snickers bar is, rather than a promotion for man sex.

No argument from me on that front. Gays are equal. My issue is with the COPs who are intolerant of anyone elses opinion. If someone is against gay marriage they're a homophobe or gay. Those people are hammered for page after page, lectured and run out on a rail. Everyone has a right to their opinion. Lots of Dem politicians including Kerry are against gay marriage. That's why I call these threads gays are great threads.

It was for comedic purposes. It wasn't targeted towards gay men at all. It's when Sammy Davis Jr. kissed Archie Bunker. I doubt that was targeted towards gay men just because one man kissed another.

That's an interesting and accurate comparison you've made. I think the Sammy and Archie kiss and the commercial were made for similiar reasons...to illustrate how some people, men actually, can't handle affection without equating it to sex, or homosexuality. Archie got the willies over it, and the guys in the commercial did too...when sex had nothing to do with any of it.

For the love of god. It's not like they put 30 seconds of gay porn on tv. It's a commercial. They aren't saying "HEY GO BE GAY NOW." They didn't even mention homosexuality in the commercial. If anything, its the subject of affection and them not feeling "manly."

But that's not even the point of the commercial. The point is, the candy bar is good. Which caused the one guy to try to eat it out of the other guy's mouth. I doubt the Snickers people are trying to make a profound statement about society with a 30 second super bowl commercial.

Maybe the commercial is no big deal, but the fact is that some of us didn't like it.

Rather, I was looking at the commercial, thinking, 'What the h__?' (If other posters found it funny, more power to them; that is their opinion and I respect that)

Second, a company spends lots of money with the expectation that people buy their product. Watching this commercial did not make me want to buy a Snickers Bar, or avoid doing so--it had no effect one way or another on my spending habits. So for me, this ad didn't achieve its objective.

(Again, my opinion, no more no less--I have no hidden agenda, or repressed impulses that I'm aware of. In other words, a psychological evaluation is not required or called for, just because people don't like the ad, is all I'm saying.)

That's a contradiction in terms.

It would be like a white person saying "I don't have a problem with Black employees, just as long as I don't have to work with them!"

It would be obvious that they had issues, it's the same with you and gays.


If a gay man is not a co-worker of mine, there is no other reason for him to be around me. Why is that so hard for you to understand? Why else would I be around a gay man if I wasn;t working wit him??????

You mean you don't want to be put under the microscope and told that you either hate gays or that you're gay? You know how some people, even those in lower level medical fields think they're psychiatrists or better. I have a niece like this. She's a nurse, and she acts like she's a brain surgeon.

I have watched this thread grow into a gay/anti gay thread and I find it amusing that not one person has actually brought up the reason the ad was pulled in the first place.

It wasn't because two men were kissing, it was because after the accidental kiss, the two men said "quick we have to do something MANLY" and then proceeded to rip chest hair from their body. Implying that 2 men kissing was not manly.



Personally I have no issue with gays/lesbians and have a few friends that are homosexual HOWEVER I am not comfortable hearing details of their sex lives nor watching it. Did I like the commercial, No I found it disturbing. Do I hate gays or am I homophobic, No.

15-20 years ago people were uncomfortable seeing tampon commercials or sex on TV because they were not accustomed to it. I think that is the category this commercial falls into.

How does that not compare? Not being seen with blacks vs not being seen with gays seems like a pretty reasonable comparisin of prejudice. Either scenario has one person/group not wanting to be seen with another because of personal bias

02-09-2007, 04:25 PM
Alright, as a homosexual I found NOTHING homophobic about the commerical. I'm pretty sure the infamous GLAAD was behind this, considering they are FOREVER bitching about everything!

I'm going to have to agree with Fleet and others on this.. you cannot compare being black with being gay. So whoever is making this lame statement, please stop! Someone's color and someone's sexuality is two different issues(and since this has NOTHING to do with the topic, i'm not going to go into to that)

Furthermore, A thread about a COMMERICAL has turned into a anti-gay vs. pro-gay thread, why in the blue hell?!!! People, stay on topic, it's about a commerical, not who's sleeping with whom, I don't give a damn who you sleep with, that's your business...

And i'm tired of people who accuse people of being 'in the closet' or in 'denial' about being gay because they happen to disagree with being gay(NOT gay people themselves, but the whole lifestyle, after all, this is America.) Saying this comment is a slap in the face to those who had to struggle with their own sexuality, making ASSumptions about someone's sexuality is completely stupid...

Okay back on the COMMERICAL(This has turned into The View meets The O'Reilly Factor), I found nothing wrong with the commerical, just the part of using the whole 'gay is fashionable' thing is pointless. I'm sorry, when were a group of people ever 'fashionable'? Snickers only did this to create buzz and get people talking, which by the looks of the pointless aruging on this thread, has.:rolleyes:

A black person cannot hide being black but a homosexual sure as hell can. Blacks struggled a LOT more than gays so comparing being black and being gay sounds completely...how should I say this.. LAME!!

Sorry for going off topic, but I just had to end the nonsense of being black vs. gay, like gays would win in the "I've struggled more than you, so we are the same."

It's not a lifestyle. My daughter is gay. She knew when she was ten that she had these feelings...she was so distraught abt those feelings she had feelings of suicide because she had to live in a world that was not exactly "accepting" of the fact that homosexuals are BORN, not made. I knew when she was 4 years old that she may be "different". I was right. She didn't wake up one day and decide to have a lifestyle that would cause her ridicule, that would cause people to chastise her, that would not be easy on her. She was BORN THIS WAY. No different than me being born a brunette, or someone being born black, or someone being born deaf.

You're right Irene, it's not a choice. My brother is gay, and he says, "As if I'd choose this BS!" Sometimes I wish he was straight, and only because his life would be easier. Gay men, a lot have commitment issues. My brother is 37 and alone. I wish he was married with kids...with a guy or a gal.

I remember. We have soooo much in common Janice.:D

There was a time when she thought she was bisexual, but she learned that it was "society" that was making her feel this way because she was only wanting to do what was the "norm". When I took her to therapy, she finally felt great abt herself and when she realized I was accepting and loving her no matter what, that was all she needed to help her move on. She was worried that I would hate her. I never gave her reason to think this. If anything, it's my sister who has a real hard time with this.

Sorry Guys(girls), but that is your opinion. Prove to me that someone is "born" gay. And someone "feeling" that they were doesn't count.

I'm glad it worked out well for your daughter. My brother didn't come out (even to himself) until he was 25. I mean he wasn't having relationships with men, without his family knowing. He was living a lie and trying to date women. My mother was okay with it. It took my father a while to get used to it. He was a retired longshoreman, John Wayne type. It was his only son. He came around though, and he ended up welcoming my brother's boyfriends, even had a backyard full of gay guys over for a cookout. I can still see my Dad working the grill while my brother and about 20 of his gay friends were swimming and playing volley ball.

I remember my own husband said to me at first, "But I always loved your brother." I told him that he'll continue to love him. Who cares what a person's doing with who. I have enough of my own problems to care about who's doing who. :lol:

And hey, being bi-sexual wouldn't be so bad. Talk about a wide open playing field, lol. One thing I love about my brother is his ability to joke about it. He calls himself a ***. He impersonates Jack from Will & Grace. It's hilarious actually, the things he says. When he first came out, he was defensive about it, but now he jokes all the time about it.

Sorry Guys(girls), but that is your opinion. Prove to me that someone is "born" gay. And someone "feeling" that they were doesn't count.
There are too many influences, especially nowadays, ready to mislead kids at those confusing, early years into thinking that what they are experiencing is something more than what it is. Simple childhood confusion and growing up.
The only proof I have is my brother telling me that he was never attraced to women in his entire life, and was always attracted to men. He was never confused about anything. He tried to deny it to himself, but it was there from the beginning.

I know that when my daughter was 4 years old and saying things to me that seemed so out of place for a child so young to say, certain things she did, right down to clothes and how she saw the world around her. I was thinking she was a child prodigy, then my thinking turned to "I think she may grow up and want a sex change." I wrote everything down in my journal, a journal that I shared with her when she got older. She is now 18 and she tells me that she had this weird feeling inside of her that she was "not normal"...I don't know any 4 year old that had feelings abt how "abnormal" they are. When I think back to that time, there were sooooo many signs and I only caught a few of them, yet, I kinda figured it out. I was thinking that she was also one of those people who thought they should have been born the opposite sex. I was preparing myself for her to tell me she should have been born a boy.

I remember. We have soooo much in common Janice.:D

There was a time when she thought she was bisexual, but she learned that it was "society" that was making her feel this way because she was only wanting to do what was the "norm". When I took her to therapy, she finally felt great abt herself and when she realized I was accepting and loving her no matter what, that was all she needed to help her move on. She was worried that I would hate her. I never gave her reason to think this. If anything, it's my sister who has a real hard time with this. But I told her like I say to others, she was BORN GAY, she didn't choose.

When my daughter told her dad, he was not happy abt it. He had turned his life around and had become a born again christian. So, being a devout christian, he was of the belief that she was committing a sin and she would go to hell. He didn't treat her differently. He cried. He opened his arms to her and said no matter what he loved her. He came to the realization that I had been correct when I had told him many years prior that I was almost certain that she would either be a lesbian or would want a sex change. He was so angry that I would say that abt our daughter who was only 6 years old at the time. He was ANGRY!:mad: I remember when he phoned me and told me, "My God, you were so right all along." He loved her to death til the day he died.

That must have been something. I know my dad never knew abt my daughter but he would have been accepting. My dad was very quiet, only a handful of times did I see him cry.
Your dad eventually coming around and having your brother's friends over while barbecuing shows that a parents' love for their child is never-ending. I am glad your father opened up his mind and saw that no matter what, his son is still his son. Making babies, having a wife, etc. doesn't make a guy a man. What your dad did by accepting his son for HOW HE WAS BORN shows how much of a man your father was. I am sure your brother felt such a relief, especially since we live in this world where people think that there are those who "choose" to be gay and choose to be harassed, threatened, treated like garbage and the plague.

Acceptance did come, but it wasn't overnight. I remember my mother telling me that when my brother first came out, and she told him (my brother told her), she saw my father sitting on side of the bed, crying. He thought nobody saw him. Now when I say that my father was the John Wayne type, I'm not kidding. Big union, longshoreman for almost 50 years. They don't cry. I felt sad for my father. He was a wonderful husband, father....we had a fairytale childhood....non-working mother at home, we never wanted for anything.

My Dad didn't have a hateful bone in his body. I think that people are products of their environments. When I think of him crying over his only son being gay, I feel bad about it. That image. He was a good man, a great man actually.

Acceptance did come, and that is what matters the most. It takes time, especially for men like your father. I can only imagine what went through his mind. He was a great man, because he loved his son, no matter what. There are so many people out there who fight with their kids for stupid things, children who hate their families, their up-bringing and so forth. Look at poor Anna Nicole and how it ended for her. Your father opened up and left this world giving your brother what he needed the most, HIS LOVE AND ACCEPTANCE. So many parents give up on their kids and leave loose ends. We were blessed to have parents who loved us and gave us wonderful memories. Your brother I am sure is thankful that he got to share happy times with your father in the end. Your father could have left this world leaving your brother feeling unwanted and unloved. But he didn't. He gave him his heart and what a wonderful example of love from a father to a son. I know my father adored my brother and when my brother passed away, my father cried. It hurt me because my father took care of my brother til the end. He visited him in the nursing home that he spent his last years in. My father was there EVERY SINGLE DAY twice a day for the years my brother was there. Our fathers are great examples of what real men are. :D

Hmm, influences... huh, growing up in the 80's and 90's, there was barely any homosexuals on T.V until I graduated from High School, my childhood was NOT confusing, tragic, but not confusing. No one can be influenced to be gay, I don't care how weak minded you are, if that was the case, then my best friend who grew up with a gay father would have been a lesbian a long time ago.

I never thought someone can BECOME gay, I always believed it's something you are born with. It was always in a person to be gay. Just like I always thought it sounded dumb when a women said she is about to turn into a lesbian because of bad luck with men. I always said that was BULL because for her to say that it must have been something she was always curious about and had nothing to do with bad luck with men. I have had the WORST luck of any guy with women and have no intentions to start dating men

Prove to me that I "chose" to be gay then. No one chooses to be gay, this is an uneducated and ignorant statement by one who has no idea what they are talking about.I don't have to prove anything to you. It could be any number of reasons(Environment, upbringing, influences-not just tv, abuse and the guilt you feel about it, etc). But to be honest I don't really give a rat's arse why you chose to be gay.
My request was directed toward those who assert that you are "born gay" as if it is absolute gospel, using only statements like "he/she always knew they were" or "I always knew he/she was "different"". As if being different automatically means that you have homosexual leanings(something the activists would like you to believe - another of those pesky influences)
If you want "proof" you can review any post I have made on the subject in the past - probably on the politics board - complete with facts and the sources for those facts.
I have no desire to dredge all that up again for someone who is not going to believe the truth anyway.
Or just do a search on the Hamer Study. That's the one that purportedly showed a "gay gene" which was supposed to prove that people are "born gay". Then do a little more research and you'll find that it has since been discredited and debunked many times over for faulty and biased research.
Yet that faded idea is still used by uneducated and ignorant gay activists, and their supporters, as their "proof" that you are "born gay".

Hmm, influences... huh, growing up in the 80's and 90's, there was barely any homosexuals on T.V You're kidding, right?
Homosexuals have been subtly promoting their ideas on tv for decades, but especially in the 80's and 90's. You never watched Bosom Buddies(two men dressing up as women), Kate and Allie(two women with kids living together), My Two Dads(two men with kids living together), etc).
But on those programs the men liked women and the women liked men, right?
The word 'subtly' is the key. And the exposure and normalization of "different" family lifestyles was/is the goal.
Has it been working?
You tell me.
Think about it.

No one can be influenced to be gay, I don't care how weak minded you are, if that was the case, then my best friend who grew up with a gay father would have been a lesbian a long time ago.Then with that kind of logic, a kid with a father who is a minister will grow up to be Pope. C'mon now.
And you call me uneducated and ignorant(name-calling and degradation of a person you disagree with - the calling card of the liberal arguer, btw).

It's not a lifestyle. My daughter is gay. She knew when she was ten that she had these feelings...she was so distraught abt those feelings she had feelings of suicide because she had to live in a world that was not exactly "accepting" of the fact that homosexuals are BORN, not made. I knew when she was 4 years old that she may be "different". I was right. She didn't wake up one day and decide to have a lifestyle that would cause her ridicule, that would cause people to chastise her, that would not be easy on her. She was BORN THIS WAY. No different than me being born a brunette, or someone being born black, or someone being born deaf.
AMEN GIRL!, I agree with you 100%. I can tell that you are very proud of your daughter:)
I have a someone in my family, (whom is gay), and guess what, I do not care, neither, does my family, he is a great guy, handsome, intelligent and kind (and that is all that matters); this ridiculous nonsense, that you DECIDE to be gay!; give me a freaking break!
It sickens me that people, who are homosexual, are still looked down upon (and this is the 21st century); remember, folks, LOVE IS BLIND! and love is beautiful, regardless, that you happen to be in love with the same gender; people fall in love with another human being, not for their race, creed or in this matter, their sex!

Allow me to oblige ;)

Tell me, does your wife/partner agree that every instruction in the bible should be adhered to in this day and age?

1 Timothy: 2:9 9

"I also want women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God. A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent. For Adam was formed first, then Eve. And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner. But women will be saved through childbearing-- if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety."

My point is that whilst I respect and acknowledge religious beliefs (I'm Christian myself), it's unfair to disregard some teachings of your religion because it suits, and then use other aspects of it to support an argument.

Maybe you would understand better what's in the Bible if you went to church? (Assuming you don't go currently.)

BTW, maybe if Hillary went by the quote you posted, more people would like her. :D She sure isn't quiet!

Actually, I'm a practicing catholic and attend chapel every Sunday (so you assume wrong), and I've no idea what you're getting at, that's a direct quote from the bible.

As for the Hillary comment (nice avoidance of the issue BTW), the word hypocrite springs to mind. You're quick enough to get mad when a thread goes in the 'so called' gays are great direction, but have no problem trying turn them into GOPs are great threads.:D

It's a little thing called "Faith." The problem with some people nowadays is they pick and choose what is acceptable to them in them Bible and the rest is interpreted to fit their personal needs.

:eek: The devil better look out his woolies, hell has just frozen over. For once, we agree 100% :lol:

That's exactly what I was saying in my post


My point is that whilst I respect and acknowledge religious beliefs (I'm Christian myself), it's unfair to disregard some teachings of your religion because it suits, and then use other aspects of it to support an argument.

The Bible was written over 1,000 years ago. I personally believe that the writers of the Bible could have thrown their own opinions and beliefs into their writing. I am not saying that's true but it's my opinion. Also, who is to say that the Bible tells us what God thinks, rather than what people thought God thinks?

You are wise beyond your years :)

Well, I don't believe everything that's in the Bible, but I don't think I'm interpreting things to fit my needs.

I just genuinely don't believe that God has a problem with homosexuality. Like I said, in the Conversations With God books (which are good) He says he doesn't have a problem with it.

I think the Bible is a great book, but I do think that the writers did sometimes add their own beliefs/beliefs of the time in there, instead of writing what God believed.

So, yes - I personally don't think that God has a problem with homosexuality.

To all those who disagree with homosexuality - do you admire the work of any gay celebrities? Elton John, for instance - I think he's talented.

It's a series of three books, not just one book.

Yes, I believe a lot of the stuff in the Conversations With God books. Having said that, there are even some parts in the CWG books that I suspect are only the author's opinions, and not God's, because they seem too judgmental to me.

But yes, I do believe that the books are mainly accurate transcriptions of conversations that the author had with God.

Well, that's basically what the Bible is. Although more than just one person was involved.

Is the age of the book relevant? Why would the fact that it's a modern book make it seem less believable in your eyes?

The Bible isn't actually structured in the form of conversations with God, though, but the CWG books are. I do believe in Jesus, and I believe in a lot of other stuff in the Bible, but I believe things that God says in the CWG books. For instance, I believe that there is no such place as Hell. I believe that God doesn't punish anyone. I believe that when people die, they create their own reality.

Bill Clinton's Role in the Terrorist Attack
September 11, 2001.
This information also connects you to other aspects of the pages on other aspects of this atrocity. There is absolutely no doubt that Blow Job Clinton's horrible administration is largely responsible for the deaths of thousands in about 2 hours.

This is where you'll find facts about the "Rapist" in chief and his co-criminal in chief Hillary. Usama Bin Ladin is one of the Clinton's excuses for bombing a pharmacy company in the Sudan. He did this to divert the public's attention from Monica Lewinsky's fellatio service to "The Rapist" in Chief. Bin Ladin's picture graces the background of this page because he, like Clinton, cares not who gets hurt in persuit of his aims. He, like Clinton, is without conscience. That is the clinical definition of a psychopathic personality.

Now that the Sociopath in Chief is no longer in office I thought it would be a good time to start a page just for his "wife" or whatever she is. Some think that the devil can be seen in her eyes. Her actions speak for themselves. Hillary is a control-freak.

He thinks the Bible was written by those who "may have put their own opinions in." Hardly what can be called "having faith."

That's what I believe too, but I have faith. I believe in God and Jesus, and I do believe a lot of the stories in the Bible. But I believe that some of the writers did sometimes put ideas of their own in, or ideas that reflected popular opinion, rather than what God thought.

But I still have faith. God knows it too, I talk to him a lot. He likes disco music, which is great, because I like disco music too. Well, He likes all kinds of music, actually. Rock, metal, country, soul...
