So now that CBS has OK’d the Tim Tebow anti-abortion ad, gay dating site ManCrunch wants in on the action. It’s submitted a commercial to CBS for approval even though CBS, though they told Pop Tarts otherwise, claims to be sold out. Yes, it’s the usual publicity stunt GoDaddy knows well and subjects us to every year.
In the ManCrunch ad, two men watch football then reach for a bowl of chips at that same time. Their hands brush against one another and, well, they go at it much to the surprise of another man next to them. Yes, that’s pretty racy for the supposedly good ‘ol family fun-focused Super Bowl but is it any more racy than other gay-themed programming on CBS?
Seems the two ads would balance each other out nicely. One touts a stereotypical conservative stance and the other a stereotypically liberal one. Come on, CBS! Let the battle of the viewpoints begin!
The ad is funny but only in a “I’m a straight guy that’s OK with gay guys but don’t throw it in my face” sort of way. Though funny, it’s not the sort of ad that’s going to go over well with actual gay men.
