One of the funniest ads during this year’s 2007 Superbowl was an ad by M&M Mars for their lead candy bar… ‘SNICKERS.’
On the left are a few scenes from the ad… a guy who wants to ‘share’ his buddy’s Snickers Bar.. an inadvertant ‘kiss’ occurs, followed by shock… then a realization that they had to do something ‘manly’… so they tear hair off their chests… and screams erupt.
Very cool.
However, some folks do not have a sense of humor. The funny thing about it… is the fact that they probalby weren’t even watching the Super Bowl! Probably out doing soccer.
Obviously, folks that I would never meet over a barbecue were screaming that it was ‘homophobic’. I worked for a Mars division… so, I know this is hardly the case. It is unfortunate that complaints were made and others ‘bowed’ to the ‘pressure.
In any event, it was an amusing ad … you can watch it again on YOU-TUBE…
So, this month’s ‘Weenie Award’ go to CBS Sports and all the folks who have ‘no sense of humor what-so-ever.’
