The network says it is reviewing an ad from ManCrunch.com, a dating site specifically for gay men.

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.

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've always though that for gays to be accepted more they need to be in a Viagra commercial. This one is close.

1. “The ad is still under review, the process takes a little while...”

That's bullshit -- CBS doesn't have the balls and they know it.

5. There is a Viagra ad that in my opinion is a gay ad

It's the one where they are in a garage band jamming to their Viva Viagra song. They all wink at each other during the song, then leave in pairs. Kudos to Viagra if this is true, though I think it would fine to watch the Mancrunch ad, too.
