So, this was bound to happen sooner or later and, wow, am I happy it did because it just proves that CBS is really just a big bag of hypocritical a-holes.

I’ve already mentioned on this site that CBS is allowing the very anit-Gay, anti-choice, and anti-family group, Focus on the Family to put up a Super Bowl ad this year.  That ad is going take an anti-abortion stance because it features God’s quarterback, Tim Tebow and his mother. Sure, it’s cool, CBS changed the policy this year because times are tight and as Mark Twain once said, “Morals are for the well fed.”

But then, a little gay dating site (it’s actually a site for gay people, I’m not calling it gay like a 14 year old would call you out for wearing a sweater to a Green Day concert) called ManCrunch.com just got its ad shot down by CBS this morning.

Here’s the ad in all its glory (via the New York Post):

First, before I give CBS more shit for being two-faced on the issue, let me just point out that the two guys in the commercial are wearing Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings jerseys.  I don’t care how hard it is to find a date, gay or straight, two people that follow those teams would never hook up. Period.

Now, according to Man Crunch spokesman Dominic Friesen, CBS told the site that all ad space was already sold out, but the various advertising industry sources are still saying that a few spots still are still available. CBS claims its still reviewing the ad for content and quality, but I’m pretty sure what they’re really doing is assessing how much of a shit storm they would take by running an ad for a gay dating site during the big game.

Frankly, if CBS doesn’t take the ad, they are just stupid on a couple of levels.  One, $2.8 million is $2.8 million no matter where it comes from and things just aren’t that good right now.  Second, running at least one gay ad would finally bring in one of the last demographics that the Super Bowl is weak on, homosexuals!  Does CBS not know how much money gay men spend on shit?  I’m being funny, but I’m serious… look up the statistics on that one and you’ll see I’m right.

CBS already its annual rejection of the Super Bowl ad from GoDaddy.com, but who didn’t see that one coming? GoDaddy CEO Bob Parsons is completely shocked by this fact, but his ad is making fun of gay people, which actually is offensive, which ManCrunch.com is helping them hook up.  Bob Parsons is actually my kind of CEO, believe it or not, but every year he’s shocked that they don’t take his ad, even though it’s a pure T&A fest.  Dude, I love your style, but come on…

Honestly, if I didn’t have people coming to my house to actually watch the Super Bowl, I think I would pass on this year’s event because of this cavalcade of stupidity.   But, since I doubt my guests would want to watch me act out the game with puppets and then put on a couple of old albums by The Who, I guess you win this one, CBS…
