    I'm not sure why they made this an issue. The last thing in my mind watching this commercial was "yeah let's get rid of the gays". Maybe I'm not sensitive enough.

    Ironically this kind of controversy probably will do more to help sell Snickers than the ad alone could.

    The saw it. The chest hair part was pretty funny.

    I was surprised when the lips locked, but didn't dwell on it afterwards and soon forgot.

    GLAAD is heterophobic if they think this is homophobic.

    Or truthophobic. Most mechanics I know would have similar reaction. :rolleyes:

    Because heterosexual males aren't usually disgusted by man on man action.
    :rolleyes:
    Who cares if that's the way most men react? Let's pretend that it's not.

    I'm still trying to figure out how pulling out your chest hair is considered manly.

    Eh, overrated. The beginning was hilarious, but like I said, if they wanted manly, ripping out chest hair wouldn't have even entered my radar. Since they were in a mechanic's shop, how about looking at one of those calendars?

    Can the ad be both homophobic and homoerotic?

    If you think that was homophobic, you should have seen the Butterfingers ad.
