CBS: We Won’t Air Mancrunch Ad

The public relations/marketing teams over at Mancrunch.com must be made up of some smart guys and gals. They used CBS’s squeamishness over gay kissing to start a media firestorm. Remember, there’s no such thing as bad publicity!

You can watch the “banned” Mancrunch.com ad over on the left. It’s really not that racy. It’s just two dudes watchin’ the game together… until sparks fly. It’s not like the ad shows any actual spit-swapping. If it’s family-friendly enough to get posted on YouTube, why won’t CBS roll with the Mancrunch ad?

What strikes me as odd about the Mancrunch ad ban is the fact that successful Superbowl ads are almost always focused around sex, so why ban this one? Think of the annual GoDaddy.com boob joke ads, or the various beer ads featuring overflowing spoonfuls of T&A.

No, I think Mancrunch is taking advantage of the media’s dislike of gay affection. It’s related to the homosexual/heterosexual MPAA issues discussed in “This Film Is Not Yet Rated.” Rent that one, boys and girls. It illuminates who really controls the film industry in America.

Hey, don’t just listen to what I think. Check out the banned Mancrunch ad on the left. Not so bad, huh? So why is CBS refusing to show it during the Superbowl?

7 months ago: I'll pass on watching the video. This is the first I'm reading about mancrunch, don't really want to even think about men kissing other men. I don't know how even women can stand to kiss us, stubbly hairy smelly creatures that we are. I just thank my lucky stars that they do.
7 months ago: I agree that they have a right to love each other.

But I rather see two girls kissing each other, than two gay men.

The ban may be justified by some, because they should put in a real movie or keep it in their homes.

But in today's world the ban should be removed.

I, like most men get turned on by women. And would watch women going wild over each other.

Sorry that is just me, because I am just like all men -- an animal.
