If they were aiming to bridge the gap between Manly Man Man Football Man Fans and gays, they failed miserably. I'm not sure this ad was meant to openly combat Tim Tebow's Boo Abortion piece, as this battle is being portrayed in the media. Why do people think that pro/anti-abortion issues are the same as pro/anti-gay issues? I get that it's easy to lump people together ideologically (Rush-loving small government Bible Humpers vs. Gay Socialist BIG GOV'T Baby Killers) but this isn't the same battle. Also, the ad wasn't really that funny. They could have done a spoof piece featuring a Dr. Neil Clarke Warren figure and young attractive white people finding love, with that goofy music in the background. Wait, isn't this supposed to be about food? I didn’t find the ad to be inappropriate outside of openly baiting homophobes.

In fact, while I find the video hilarious and somewhat cute, I think some people might actually be confused by what is going on in the commercial, did they just turn gay or is there some further story here, why is the third guy so confused looking and scared. Plus, when I stop and think about it, clearly those two dudes just found each other randomly, why do they need a dating site? If this commercial makes it on, I will be surprised since it does seem like a way to stir up a very mundane controversy. Either way the video makes a hilarious thing to send to people.

How about a little "Go Daddy" for your half-time pleasure? Super Bowl ads are meant to be provocative and I think they should definitely air this one. It's a real service, a funny and entertaining ad and they deserve the same consideration anyone else would receive. CBS airs sex-filled ads ALL the time.

Seems like a forced controversy to me. I wouldn’t think CBS would air ANY ad featuring a passionate makeout session, gay or straight, during the Super Bowl. Seems like a forced controversy to me.
