So, how do you guys feel about this one?  grin
I feel confused.  What on earth is that all about?

It's a commercial for an improved cable connection that offers Dolby sound and widescreen stuff. I don't know why you didn't get that - it seems obvious.

A Vietnamese commercial offering.....if that's what plays well to their market, then go ahead....I doubt it would do so well here....

Personally, I don't care if Snickers loses the gay male candy market.....it's a good commercial...

Israeli. They do commercials parodying various movie genres.

Can we tweak said software to kill posts that have the same tired response no matter what the subject?  police

I think I was too busy gawking at that commercial to be able to figure out what it meant.

If they ran something like that here, they'd go out of business.  I suppose it works well in Vietnam, though.  More power to them.   If nothing else, the production quality is fairly good.  Lots of special effects and whatnot.




But this Snickers thing?  Gaybashing?  Gimme a break.  The "victim" in those commercials wasn't a gay man.  He was just your average weenie loser. 

The gay rights people accuse Snickers of Snickers of being insensitive, of stereotyping gay men?  Pot.  Kettle.  Black.  The gay rights people are the ones who assume that a nondescript weenie loser must be a gay man, not Snickers.
