Thanks to the outcry led by such groups as the Human Rights Campaign and GLAAD (Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation), the homophobic Snickers ad campaign kicked off during Sunday's Super Bowl has been scrapped.
The ad itself didn't bother me--I thought it showed just how ignorant homophobia can be--but the alternate endings on the associated website and bigoted comments by players from the Super Bowl teams pushed it way over the line of satire into hatred.
This was a good win for the GLBT community, and the efforts of those who so strongly spoke out against this defamation should be commended.

I saw the commercial, although I missed the kiss. Bummer that. We thought the commercial was stupid. Beyond stupid.
