After days of deliberations on whether to run a controversial Super Bowl ad
from gay dating site ManCrunch.com, CBS has not yet reached a decision.
The 30-second spot shows two men excitedly watching the game, before their
hands brush as they both reach into a bowl of chips. Suddenly, the two begin
making out, much to the shock of a guy sitting close by. (CBS
Considers Gay Dating Site Ad During Super Bowl... )
According to a rep for the dating site, which operates under the slogan
“Where Many Many Many Men Come Out to Play,” the ad was submitted on Monday,
January 18th. When the site followed up on the status of the ad on Friday,
January 22nd, they were told by CBS that “the spot hadn’t been officially
approved yet" by network standards, and that "all the Super Bowl spots were sold
out.”

(I hope CBS doesn't agree to play this ad but I wouldn't be shocked if they do. How sad and sick. )
