Last evening, as I watched the Superbowl with my nine year old son, I became extremely annoyed at the MARS Corporation and their advertisement for Snickers which showed two guys locking lips. I can't even fathom why somebody thought that this would be a good advertisement for that particular product and why they chose to air it during this event, especially when they knew children would be watching. If their aim was to draw controversy in the hopes of increasing sales, then I sincerely hope they missed their mark. I hope that, instead, they lose sales because of their idiocy.
I called in and registered my strong disapproval this morning at 1-908-852-1000. (If you call, when you get the phone tree, just press "0")
Our family will not be buying MARS products ... Products that MARS makes/distributes: M&M'S, SNICKERS, MARS bars, Milky Way, Skittles, and TWIX.
To the extent that you are unable to fully appreciate my comment and join me in being disgusted that others are disgusted with others being disgusted with what is being dicussed I offer my sympathy and truly feel sorry for you. There. I apologized. Sort of.
The rate for the spots was so high that none of the companies had any money left to actually make a good commercial.
Sorry ... Its supposed to be 1-908-852-1000.
And Chevy is setting profit records lately??? They need to hire a new marketing team.
I hope that's supposed to be an "800" number.
I don't call "900" numbers. I know what the bill winds up being.
cool. you could be the next american idol.
I guess that says it all.
Isn't shaving chest hair a homosexual thing?
Missed the commercial but there has to be a fudge packing reference somewhere in there.
FYI - All along the watchtower was written by Bob Dylan.
You are right about the lack of lip synching, when Prince pushed over his mike stand, you heard the pop when it hit the ground. His guitar work also appeared real.
The number is supposed by 1-908-852-1000.
Admin Moderator ... could you please correct the area code in my post? Thanks in advance.
Yea, that's what I'll do...give them more money via a 900 number to tell them I didn't like their commercial..
Didn't know that, but did not need to, to know he is no homo. Scoring Christie Brinkely requires more than a bit of strong hetero attraction, I'd think.
But, but, but, I am offended. I deserve money!
Because they knew that everyone, especially people like you, would be talking about it the next day.
....or MOOOOSE Johnson?............
He makes 30 cents off each call.
maybe there was dancing on his/her tv.
my tv showed Billy Joel sitting at a piano playing and singing the national anthem- but with all the high falootin' out of this world gadgetry they got going on now-a-days, who knows, maybe some tv sets now include a dance routine with every show?
It was beyound gross.. I will never eat a snickers..
They're mookie sticks..
i HAD TURNED MY HEAD AND MISSED IT, i SAW THEM DO THE MANLY THING AND PULL THEIR HHAIR OUT OF THEIR CHEST, AND HEARD THEM SAY THEY JUST KISSED
sounds too groos for me, wish I could erase parts of a dvd
. . . "against," as Ann Coulter put it in styling the NJ supreme court the worst in the country, "some stiff competition."
