[apocalypsos]

The Snickers ad that ran during last month's Super Bowl in which two mechanics munching at each end of a candy bar end up mouth to mouth and then register their disgust, offended not only gays but also religious conservatives, it turns out. The Smoking Gun website on Monday posted numerous complaints filed with the FCC over the ad. One wrote of feeling "violated" by the ad, writing "God knows, I didn't turn on the superbowl [sic] expecting to be tricked into watching gay sex." Another wrote that the spot violated "our religious beliefs and exposes our children to obscene and disgusting material they are taught are wrong." Other letter writers complained about Prince's performance during halftime likening it to gay porn. In all, the FCC received about 150 complaints about the telecast -- a far cry from the tens of thousands of letters that rained down on the commission in the wake of the Janet Jackson "Nipplegate" scandal three years ago.

Call me crazy, but I think somebody was sick the day they discussed what constitutes sex.

Oh my God! Tricked into watching gay sex! How will you cleanse your soul? The rainbow people are taking over world by Superbowl!

It always bugged me that people could be so offended by public, gay displays of affection (even something as innocuous as holding hands) and complain about the morals of society, but the same people have no problem with a hetero couple shoving their tongues down each other's throats.
