NBVegita Posted February 7, 2007 Report Posted February 7, 2007 God what have we come to? It is now a blatent attack against the gay community to have two stereotypical straight men, accidently kiss (because the candy bar was just that good), and act stereotypically manly afterwards? I'm sick and tired of everything being a "personal attack" against someone else. What if someone takes offence to "!@#$%^&* eye for the straight guy" or something like that? You don't watch the show. Plain and simple. If you don't like the commercial, get a snack, change the chanel!
rootbear75 Posted February 8, 2007 Report Posted February 8, 2007 i thought it was funny...those guys didnt seem to be gay to me
SeVeR Posted February 8, 2007 Report Posted February 8, 2007 Lol i seriously do not see the problem, in fact i see the opposite. The advert shows how easily two men can get into a "gay situation", obviously a plus for the gay community. Then it shows the typical heterosexual reaction, a very real reaction that happens everyday, especially on drunken nights out (not necessarily as extreme as pulling out chest hair). The reaction is again good for the gay community as it is comedic and an over-exaggeration to a gay experience. The advert actually promotes being gay as a precursor to acting as anti-gay as possible causing both extremes to be de-sensitized to the viewers; gayness becomes a more run-of-the-mill act to be laughed at rather than despised in any serious way.
Slipped Posted February 8, 2007 Report Posted February 8, 2007 It's pretty ridiculous. It seems like now days the 'gay community' looks for pretty much anything that would or could appear as a homophobic remark, picture, action, or whatever, then they go and make a huge deal about it. They are taking stuff way too far. They can't expect everyone to love and accept their choices, then sue everyone who doesn't.
ThunderJam Posted February 8, 2007 Report Posted February 8, 2007 I know 2 gay people who thought the commericial was "friggin hilarious." Slipped said:It seems like now days the 'gay community' looks for pretty much anything that would or could appear as a homophobic remark, picture, action, or whatever, then they go and make a huge deal about it. Thats sadly true for way more sociopolitical groups than just gays...
11___________ Posted February 12, 2007 Report Posted February 12, 2007 Why!!! I dont see the problem with that. I went eww inside, but that was all. Then the communities of gay people got pi**ed off and sent snickers some hate mail, so they created 2 "alternate" endings, so they wouldnt be mad. What ever happened to "i am rubber and you are glue..."
rootbear75 Posted February 12, 2007 Report Posted February 12, 2007 What ever happened to "i am rubber and you are glue..."We stopped using that after 4th grade....
Aileron Posted February 12, 2007 Report Posted February 12, 2007 I just thought it was a re!@#$%^&*ed commercial. They should bring back the one where the guy with the guitar sang that country song jingle. THAT was funny, and that !@#$%^&* song has the potential to get stuck in someone's head.
»1587200 Posted February 12, 2007 Report Posted February 12, 2007 Well that's great! That sets a legal precedent. Does that mean I can sue Dan Folgerburg for making me into a !@#$%^&* in the mid-70's. Is that possible, huh? Huh?! "Your honor, between him and James Taylor, I didn't get a blow job 'till I was 27 years old. I was in Colorado wearing hiking boots eating granola. I want some !@#$%^&*ing money right now!" (-Denis Leary- It applies here though)
11___________ Posted February 20, 2007 Report Posted February 20, 2007 I hate 99.99% of most flamers. Mainly gay people and fat people. If they are "diseases", they are pretty !@#$%^&* easy to fix and know the problem. Fat people:more goes in one hole than out the otherGay people:well they just like men, not a problem if they dont try and convert me.
SeVeR Posted February 27, 2007 Report Posted February 27, 2007 No wonder fat people are full of !@#$%^&*.
Dav Posted February 27, 2007 Report Posted February 27, 2007 Its a sad fact that if yoor stright and you make a gay joke, inuendo or do something sterotypicaly gay you are a homophobe. On the other hand it seems if your gay and dont act very over camp your a homophobe.crasssise anything the gay community do = homophobe I seem to think that these people deliberaqtly segregate themselves and use their "minority" status to grab attention. I have grown up amoungst very liberal people and am a liberal myself and so most of the people i kjow couldnt care any less about somones sexual preferance yet i cant help think that might just be homophobic as well.
Cancer+ Posted February 27, 2007 Report Posted February 27, 2007 I seem to think that these people deliberaqtly segregate themselves and use their "minority" status to grab attention. This isn't only just the gay community but as well as the blacks and mexicans and other minority groups. I'm sorry if I offend anyone but I have seen on countless times a black person pulling the race card on something tedius and stupid. Just like the Super Bowl. The point that two black head coaches made it to the Super Bowl had 100x more hype than the game itself. Why can't they be just head coaches and move on. Who cares what kind of background you have, you are in the !@#$%^&*ing super bowl. Why can't we just classify everyone as a human being, not as white, black, gay, or whatever else.
Dav Posted February 27, 2007 Report Posted February 27, 2007 I 100% agree with this. A knock on is that employers or any other organizations have to take on more gays, blacks etc to meet equal rights targets. I am a big supporter of equality but this seems to actually reverse things rather then level the playing field. In their bid to appear more "equal rights" these people are actually employing out of proportion with the general population. This fixes nothing, in fact it may even increase tension between minority groups and the general population.

Aileron Posted March 1, 2007 Report Posted March 1, 2007 Way to point out a typo there... What's more is that this affirmative action stuff makes racism logical. If you have two racers but give one a head-start, and they both finish a the same time, it is logical to conclude that the racer who had the head-start was a slower runner.
Dav Posted March 1, 2007 Report Posted March 1, 2007 *corrects his typo* yeah i was kinda thinking of two ways of saying it at once and got myself a bit mixed up, tring to do 100 thinmgs at once whilst im posting here.
AstroProdigy Posted March 1, 2007 Report Posted March 1, 2007 The problem is you need racism in the other direction to counterract the racists who keep minorities down. Equal status in every respect obviously doesn't work in France with the poor, angry Muslim minority that developed. It's about what would practically work not what's right in theory.
NBVegita Posted March 2, 2007 Author Report Posted March 2, 2007 That is just hilarious. Fight racism with racism. Yeah thats a great idea. In fact I think that was the exact opposite ideal MLK fought for, and most of the activists from his time. You just make relations worse when you start giving one race an advantage over another. Like with affirmative action, how are you supposed to respect your boss if the only reason she got the job was because the company needed to hire a woman, !@#$%^&*uming that there was a more qualified person available. Or if you were more qualified, but lost the job to a black guy just cause his skin is darker?
larrythehamster Posted March 2, 2007 Report Posted March 2, 2007 In this day and age, antyhing and everything is discrimanation to some person or another... Such as not being allowed to hang England flags up during the world cup because the area is a chinese majority area... That's just plain stupid...Or that we're not allowed to call something a man hole or a spokesman because it may be offensive... The ironic thing is, usually it's the patriotic English man in parliament who decides not to let us hang the ol' St George, the chinese citizens don't care...And woman don't like us calling a sewer cover a man hole, but you'd never catch a woman wanting to go down it... To be honest, in the majority of cases, it's only seen as discrimination if you're actually looking out for discrimination or wanting it to be...
