Super Bowl time! A time to gather with friends, eat junk food and watch the game. Well for many, the commercials are just as important as halftime and the game itself, but in today’s modern culture we have voiced opposition of our cherished enjoyments. Controversy struck when Janet Jackson’s breast “popped” out during a half time performance with Justin Timberlake during Super Bowl XXXVIII . An unforgettable moment, yes, but we move on.

For Super Bowl XLI, MSNBC reports that this year the controversy is over a hilarious SNICKERS ad. Two guys are working under the hood of a car and one begins to chew on a SNICKERS bar, leaving it in his mouth to continue working. The other man starring longingly at the SNICKERS bar in his friends’ mouth decides to take a bite. Then like a scene from Lady and the Tramp they meet in the middle to seem as if it was a “kiss”. They both jump back and say they should do something manly. So they both yank off a patch of chest hair and scream…end of 31 second video clip.

Now our little prissy gay community, (The Human Rights Campaign and the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) is “outraged”. I have nothing against gay people my best friend is gay and I know many others that are, but what does bother me is their drama.

In the gay community everything seems to be OVER THE TOP. Many over react to small issues for whatever reason. Our world has become increasingly lax in the acceptance of gay lifestyles mainly because of the persons we know and not because we agree with it. That doesn’t mean that everything needs to revolve around the gay community though.

When gay jokes are being said out of the mouths of the actors/actresses portraying gays on gay “themed” TV shows such as “Will and Grace” or “Ellen” you hear no complaints. At a recent show at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood California, David Copperfield himself made a joke referencing that his magic was not “broke back” magic when he had a guest from the audience on stage helping with an illusion. The entire sold out audience laughed roaringly. Yet when a commercial is made that is comedic to the rest of us they complain enough to have it pulled off the TV and the company’s website. Now to me that’s GAY!

They make a big deal out of everything “gay” related so that they force their community on us and we’ve accepted, but to take away our freedoms of enjoying gay comedy because they don’t agree with it? How gay is that? SNICKERS you shouldn’t have conceded!
