Gay Dating Ad on CBS for Super Bowl? (VIDEO)
Of course it ain't gonna happen.


Superbowl Sunday ads always push the envelope with risque commercials. Many contain semi-nudity and suggestive language.

The 30-second ManCrunch.com spot depicts two men excitedly watching the game, before their hands brush while they are both reaching into a bowl of chips. Suddenly, the two begin making out, much to the shagrin of a dude sitting close by.

ManCrunch’s submission is not the only controversial ad CBS has had to review this season. On Wednesday, the network announced that they had approved a pro-life commercial starring Florida quarterback Tim Tebow, funded by the conservative Christian group Focus on the Family, to air during the game.

2. Well, that whole "controversial" concept is apparently very fluid
So while Focus on the Family gets a green light for their "responsibly produced" advertisement telling women they're going to hell, ManCrunch isn't apparently responsible enough for the Tiffany Network. Although I've never heard of a gay male couple ever having an abortion, I suppose the good folks at CBS know exactly what they're doing.

A Vikings fan and a Packers fan? That shit ain't natural.

5. If somebody comes along and hits them with a wrench, will they approve?
Because that was pretty much the Snickers commercial.
