I wonder if there was an outrage when Naruto accidently kissed Sasuke. :lol:
The Mencia ad was WAY more insensitive.

Yeah, it probably would be a bit disturbing to do that if you were heterosexual, which it is safely assumed the two people in the commercial are (and knowing some of the people around here, they'll find it offensive that I assumed that). Not necessarily resulting in "quick, do something manly," because that's a somewhat unrealistic reaction, but certainly in the "ok, this is awkward" realm. I know if I'm at a concert and everyone is butts-to-nuts in the crowd, I don't really enjoy that, and it is a bit awkward. Fortunately I'm able to circumvent it by doing something manly as soon as the masculine metal band takes the stage, hyuk hyuk.The part that's offensive is the aftermath where they must "quick, do something manly" because apparently, according to Snickers, its incredibly destructive to one's masculinity to accidently kiss another man.
...it's gone beyond the realm of "debate" over what's offensive into just being annoying and abrasive with some ridiculously misguided views....the assumption that a candy commercial is harmless and innocuous

On the Snickers Web site the company offered several different potential endings to the commercial, and it posted video of some of the Bowl players reactions to the kiss commercial.
In that video, one of the producers of the commercial could be heard telling Bears tight end Desmond Clark that it took 50 takes of the two men kissing for them to get it right.
"I hope they got paid a lot of money," replied Clark
