I just read that some gays and lesbians are upset with the Snickers commercial. My only issue with them is that Human Rights Campaign president Joe Solmonese said the following in a statement reported on FoxNews.com, "This type of jeering from professional sports figures at the sight of two men kissing fuels the kind of anti-gay bullying that haunts countless gay and lesbian school children on playgrounds all across the country." That statement right there really burns me because I don't know many young children who are aware of their sexuality. The statement is irresponsible and should have dealt with anti-gay actions between adults. While I did not like the commercial (wonder what the reaction would have been to two women or one man and one woman), the statement above and overall reaction of gay and lesbian groups to it will probably hurt their cause (I personally feel that they need to lighten up, but then again, I wouldn't understand since I am not of that lifestyle). Just my two cents.
I did like the crab one and the Blockbuster one.
