I thought the careerbuilder.com commercials with the 'surviving the office' theme were pretty good. I also enjoyed the Snickers commercial where the guy ended up kissing the other guy when they 'shared' the candybar."I got into the music business thinking it was really radical, that it wasn't really a business at all, that it was a lot of people being artistic and creative. Not true, and it made me very depressed."

The problem with the Snickers commercial was that they had filmed and posted alternate endings on their website. If they'd have left it as is I think it would have been funny (and I was laughing my **** off when I first saw it). Clearly the one aired was the lesser offensive of them all, but when you look at it in terms of the underlying implication (intended or not), you have to recognize that it's inappropriate.
When the alternate endings on the website to the accidental kiss are "hit me with a giant wrench and slam my head under a hood", and "let me ingest toxic chemicals so I can't be even remotely perceived as ****" then the overall implication is that it's something to be ashamed of etc etc. and that's where the problem comes in. I think one or two of the players watching the commercial laughed and thought it was funny, but several clearly didn't.
How many of y'all would have thought it would be a ****/**** group that would want the ad pulled?comment comment comment comment. bitchy. -
They'd be the most likely to ... wouldn't they ?

I'd think it'd be more straight people that would have had a problem with the fact that 2 guys were kind of kissing actually.......
At face value if you didn't know about the alternate endings, it might not seem so bad, but the alternates put a pattern out there on the implications.......comment comment comment comment. bitchy. -
I agree that the alternate endings put a violent twist to the whole thing, and it was really a stupid move. You know you're treading on sensitive ground with that kind of thing, why you would try and push it like that is just beyond me. Especially considering the size of the marketing department that a huge corporation like M&M/Mars has, you'd think someone would have objected.If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

As someone who has been ganged up on and hit over the head with a chunk of asphalt for nothing more than being ****, I'm not all that concerned with why people don't understand that a message implying violence or anything of the sort is something that should be done to admonish any appearance of being ****.comment comment comment comment. bitchy.

So, you got hit in the head for being ****. I got shot for being American, stabbed for being white and got my **** kicked once by a group of guys for being from a better area of town. So what!?!

You know I'm far from being some sort of militant **** person..........but when the pitch for a product infers that some form of violence is how to cure or address the appearance of something (be it ****, white, black, whatever), that's a bit outside the scope of what an advertisements purpose is.comment comment comment comment. bitchy.

I can see your point to some degree. On the other hand there are an almost unlimited number of TV shows and movies that infer that violence is how to address any number of issues.

Brett militant? :rolleyes: The first thing I thought of during the snickers ad was.. hey that's unusual but what crossed my mind was the "you got your chocolate in my peanut butter" campaign.

I never knew about the alternate ending until reading an article about it yesterday. I chuckled at the one that aired during the game though."I got into the music business thinking it was really radical, that it wasn't really a business at all, that it was a lot of people being artistic and creative. Not true, and it made me very depressed."

I kind of agree with this but would add a little more. When I watched it I thought it was funny, on second viewing, I thought the G&L's would get upset and then I thought about it and straight men and automechanics should be the ones offended as being portrayed as food driven, moronic homophobes. Anyway, in the end I feel it's much ado about nothing...There is no genuine justice in any scheme of feeding and coddling the loafer whose only ponderable energies are devoted wholly to reproduction. Nine-tenths of the rights he bellows for are really privileges and he does nothing to deserve them. We not only acquired a vast population of morons, we have inculcated all morons, old or young, with the doctrine that the decent and industrious people of the country are bound to support them for all time.-Menkin
