CBS Rejects Gay Super Bowl Ad: Double Standard or Good Taste?

CBS has made plenty of controversy for itself the past week or so by agreeing to run an anti-abortion ad during the Super Bowl starring college football star Tim Tebow. But now it seems that wasn’t quite enough for them, because they’re also making a point to reject a commercial for a gay dating website called Mancrunch.com (what?).

On the one hand, this is a clear double standard, and they are making it clear just who they are most afraid of offending. But on the other, the ad is pretty terrible, and is probably offensive to most gay people:




As Gabe at Videogum eagerly points out:

This ad’s catchprhase is “It is hilarious and gross when guys kiss each other and it makes your friends deeply uncomfortable. Mancrunch.”
