Jersey Comment:
This is not an anti-gay ad. If you
go to the website, and see the ad,
the website is for the purpose of
"connecting men on the down-low".
That term is mostly used in the
african-american community to refer
to
"straight" men who cheat on their
wives or girlfriends.
So, this company purports itself to
target "straight" men who want to
have sex with other men. To equate
this type of behavior with the gay
lifestyle is not correct. ManCrunch
is not a site for gay men to meet
other gay men. It is for cheaters to
meet other cheaters. And, as a gay
man, to even suggest that this
company or commercial represents the
gay lifestyle is offensive. Siince
it is not representative
of gay men, CBS not showing the
commercial
cannot be anti-gay. Thank you.

Comment:
I hate to say
this, but it seems like ManCrunch is
using this as a publicity stunt. I
am 99% sure that they new that this
ad would be rejected and then they
would be able to create controversy,
which it is obviously working. I
also watched the commercial and once
again
I hate to admit this, but am
glad that it got rejected. It's a
poor ad in every way imaginable come
on did anyone find it funny
or
interesting. I also applaud CBS for
making shows like Modern Family and
Ugly Betty, but am disappointed with
them for choosing to air a Focus on
the Family ad.
