CBS Rejects Gay Ad For Super Bowl

CBS has rejected a gay dating site's Super Bowl ad and now Mancrunch.com wants a bite out of the network. CNBC.com reporter Darren Rovell tweeted earlier Friday that CBS would not be airing ManCrunch.com's 'Playing for the Same Team' ad during the NFL game next week, FOXNews.com reports. "Mancrunch.com has just received a formal rejection of its ad from CBS," Rovell wrote on Twitter. In the ad two sports fans are watching an NFL game and discover their mutual affection over a bowl of chips. They proceed to make out to the surprise of another sports fan watching nearby/New York Daily News. More here (w/video of ad).

Question: On Thursday, the Parting Shot asked about the appropriateness of a pro-life ad for the Super Bowl, featuring star college QB Tim Tebow and his mother. What do you think about the ad from ManCrunch that was rejected?
