Filed under: Gay Gay Gay > Hilary Duff > Zportz > ADoration

Yet Focus On The Family got airtime?! NOT cool!

The Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network PSA featuring Hilary Duff was not given a spot during the Super Bowl this year making it the second gay-oriented ad to be rejected after gay dating website ManCrunch.com was also denied.

What the eff?! This is unacceptable!

Check out the fantastic ad above highlighting the "Think Before You Speak" campaign!

      ugh people need to stop over-reacting about this. words can have two meanings. stfu and get over it. nobody would care if everyone said "dude that's so straight" to mean something is stupid. it's just a word. don't let it offend you.



    2. 2

      Well, it IS their right to choose what they air. Deal.



    3. 3

      now this is…so gay



    4. 4

      While im for equality cbs is a business , they can deny what they see fit .who are u to insist they allow a view not there own?



    5. 5

      Mancrunch I could almost understand. This, however, I completely acceptable and in good taste. FU Super Bowl!



    6. 6

      Mario the entire universe does not revolve around gayness. Sorry to burst your fairy bubble.



    7. 7

      Shut up Perez…



    8. 8

      I agree with your whole statement, but to be fair, the advert was really bad, cringe worthy in fact.



    9. 9

      That's a great commercial. I don't understand CBS…the non-profit was willing to pay to have the ad aired, CBS is in it for the money. something smells fishy over there.



    10. 10

      So, Mario, I'm confused, should I go back to saying, that 'queer' really knows how to decorate? 'Gay' is bad now?



    11. 11

      Love this ad!! It's so true and I wish it aired. People know not to say that phrase around me. It's the one thing that I find most annoying



    12. 12

      I don't know why there is so much focus on people's sexuality… Who cares what you do between the sheets or in random bathrooms with strangers…



    13. 13

      I see your point, but is the Super Bowl audience really the demographic they are going after? Most of the people that use that term are teenagers. They would better use their time on kid and teen-oriented shows.



    14. 14

      ybe you should have used those words of wisdom when you ran into the Black Eye Peas a while ago, hey mario????



    15. 15

      what a private business wants to air or not air is up to them - and the day that that right is taken away, you should all be very afraid.



    16. 16

      Wow thats so gay.



    17. 17

      LOVE HIL DUFF



    18. 18

      I have to say I liked the ad. I actually laughed and it sends a good message. why not air it?



    19. 19

      They wont show tobacco ads either and I am pissed about that–you dont care and I dont care about this gay shit–even?



    20. 20

      I don't understand why they wouldn't run this ad. Its not inappropriate for anyone to view. This ad educates people about a word that identifies a culture that is commonly used in a offensive way. Shame on CBS.



    21. 21

      it's a good ad that (hopefully) speaks to this clueless generation. and really, "that's so gay" is about the dumbest phrase I can think of.



    22. 22

      i dont care whether it was aired at super bowl or not seriously one time a year? thats pathetic.

      but i really like the ad, i think it got the message across really well. i wish they would air it here in australia.



    23. 23

      reallY guess that everyone forgot that the word meant HAPPY,, not that they meant it like that but girls will say stupid shit … get over it….. we all know that the gAYS dress better anyways :)



    24. 24

      PSA suggests to me that the GLSEN wasn't trying to BUY time but get FREE time? can you clarify this part…it's certainly not fair if you are bashing CBS over paid time (Focus) and free time (GLSEN), if that was the case…..



    25. 25

      Perez, this commercial is from 2008. 0_o



    26. 26

      These commercials are annoying as fuck. It just wreaks of self-righteousness, which pisses me off.



    27. 27

      That ad is old and so gay! (GAY means- Happy, Carefree, Silly and Lame)



    28. 28

      ok for the first commercial…MANCRUNCH couldn't pay for their ad..CHECK YOUR F'N FACTS PEREZ!!! i love you but cbs couldn't give mancrunch the space if they dont pay for it.



    29. 29

      this PSA is at least a year old! Used it for a project I did last year in my diversity class!



    30. 30

      I can't say I'm surprised. Must be a "good Christian" company. I'd expect that behavior from Fox.



    31. 31

      I LOVE THAT COMMERCIAL



    32. 32

      Well i like the whole think before you speak, but "girl wearing the skirt as a shirt" thing was sort of stupid, the message was important and well given and i think its something that everybody should change *saying Gay to something ugly, etc*



    33. 33

      Re: idaknow – and that is where those commercials are often seen! GREAT POINT!!!….also with nfl programming united way controls most of the psa type air space and the rest is first come first serve…you never know this could have been a "floater" commercial

      The Mancrunch ad was denied because they couldn't pay. The company had no credit rating, and all requests for proof of credit to pay for the ad were met with prevarication on the part of the Mancrunch business offices. Through your bitching and moaning you've given them nothing but free publicity when they couldn't pay for the ad space they "wanted". Furthermore the Mancrunch ad was denied because it displayed a passionate kiss. A passionate kiss even between a straight couple wouldn't have been approved for an ad during the Super Bowl gay or straight. And guess what? There wasn't one ad with a passionate kiss during the Super Bowl. All the hoopla has done exactly what the Mancrunch executives wanted: free publicity (from idiots) for an ad that even if it featured a straight couple would have never aired. So until this organization has demonstrated that they could have ponied up the $3 million necessary to purchase a Super Bowl ad, realize that the only thing you're doing is falling into the trap they've set for you.



    35. 35

      these commercials are so stupid. they come off as being too preachy. they do not help the gay cause at all. they just make people angry and make things worse for gay people. the worst clip is the one featuring wonda sykes. she just comes off as being mean and nasty.



    36. 36

      Re: zobiana – "good christian" their ceo is a jew like most of the entertainment industry



    37. 37

      God, that ad was so Gay!



    38. 38

      It was stupid!! Thank God they rejected it! There are bigger problems to address than that!!!!!!!



    39. 39

      I'm so sick of this. I'm a time traveler. And back in the 1600's, the word "ejaculate" meant to speak over someone in a loud manner. And the word "gay" is obviously Happy. Now in the 20th century gay is a reference towards sexual preference. In technicality calling someone a homo would be the correct term, sense the word homo has meant and will always mean "the same" hence why HOMO sexual is equal to true sexual orientation. Get over yourselves because that's GAY! (not meant in a sexual way) P.S. I've seen da future Perez Hilton dies of diabetes in a motel room penniless FABOOSH!

      40

      stupid, cheesy BADLY acted ad! Thats all i see.



    41. 41

      Unacceptable? But its ok for non-italians to reffer to themselves in a racial slur?



    42. 42

      that ad is so f@gg0t



    43. 43

      This ad is so gay.



    44. 44

      I'm a gay person, proudly I might also add, that I LOVE using that word, get over it perez, your such a retarded gay person. GWAD your just so gay.



    45. 45

      this ad is over a year old, you even posted it on your site in 2008…

      isn't the whole point of the superbowl is to show NEW commercials.

      that being said, they SHOULD have showed the mancrunch ad or at least be honest about why they decided not to show it… but like someone said, it wasn't really the right demographic. it isn't like they are going to show me bud light commercials when i am watching lifetime.. that is what ads are about, targeting a key demographic.



    46. 46

      I completely agree with this ad and Hilary is awesome :) I can't believe they wouldn't air this, I mean I can understand their point of view but people need to know that the word gay is not a synonym for stupid!



    47. 47

      What the fuck, it got rejected?! There's nothing in this to deem it unacceptable! Although, it's a pretty bad ad, I respect the meaning behind it… I hate my friends saying "that's so gay" or "you're so gay" around me.



    48. 48

      That clip is sooo gay!



    49. 49

      Wow Perez 'Gay' is a problem for you, but you don't mind flicking the word 'retard' around do you? Seems pretty screwed up.



    50. 50

      I wonder where my comment went!



    51. 51

      I like this commercial. Its too bad that they didn't show it, the rest of the commercials sucked this year.. I have no tolerance for people who are intolerant. It makes me sad that people are soooo closed-minded.



    52. 52

      i like this cuz u aint gay and shouldnt say your gay perez is gay



    53. 53

      The Ad is great but it would be more appropiate on the VMAs or something..



    54. 54

      STRAIGHT PEOPLE ARE FEELING SO THREATENED, IT'S PATHETIC! LIKE IT OR NOT, WE ARE HERE TO STAY AND MAKE A BIG EFFING DIFFERENCE, GET IT?



    55. 55

      when something sucks, we should all start saying "thats so perez" cause, well, perez sucks.



    56. 56

      Know whats unacceptable? When all you freakin gay people get your little ass cheeks in a tight clench because Focus on the Family got airtime. What was all the fuss about when they did not mention ANYTHING about abortion or being gay. There is no diff between their add and a beer comercial.GET OVER IT.



    57. 57

      People need to stop overreacting when it comes to this stuff..There's never been too many PSA's during the Superbowl..Commercials have always been funny..I don't want to watch this shit during the superbowl..and they werent rejected because of the message..they were rejected because they suck..theres no discrimination here folks, stop making mountains out of molehills



    58. 58

      Maybe CBS pulled it because Hilary is so ANNOYING in it?



    59. 59

      how lame. It's because their main viewing audience is testosterone filled heterosexual males. Now if you put up some commercials with lesbians in them how fast do you think that would be put on??



    60. 60

      this commercial is soooo bad. and it's super old, dane cook had a joke about it during the summer when i saw him.



    61. 61

      They just didn't want that Gay stuff interrupting that sweaty man-on-man action.



    62. 62

      this commercial is retarded. oh wait. can't say that either.

      i'm for equal rights. not censorship.

      CC



    63. 63

      I say 'that's so lame' but I suppose I shouldn't say that because there are people who can't walk and all. So I don't really know…I guess 'I don't like it' or 'that's not so great' would suffice.



    64. 64

      "dumbest phrase I can think of"

      I can't tell if you were using the word dumb to take the piss out of this advert or not…hmmm…



    65. 65

      There you go again, Mario, eliminating half of a story to fulfill your own agenda. You completely omitted the fact this PSA is 2 years old and was rejected because they were trying to get airtime for FREE and couldn't pony up the 3 million it costs for a super bowl ad.
      ______
      You kinda forgot to add that part when you put up this hysterical and oh so inflammatory post, huh? You shame the homosexual community who fight for their rights in a calm, fair and truthful manner. You are simply pathetic.



    66. 66

      honestly, this commercial is gay.



    67. 67

      They need to stay out of politics. These hate groups need to mind their own business and let everyone live their lives. They snoop around on others to keep the spotlight off them. Everyone is human and we should all be allowed to express that independently without our telivision being involved.

      Oh please. My gay daughter and her gay friends use the expression, "That's so gay." Whatever.

      naw I'm a straight male and I KNOW this is bullshit, its time to stop hating. One of my best freinds just came out and is going through a hard time and I don't love him any differently.

      GAY=Straight, smae thingin gods eyes and it should be in ours



    73. 73

      I wish they had given Hilary a better script to work with, but the point got across. Some gays don't mind it but others do. "That's so straight" isn't really offensive at all because that's how people want to be looked at.



    74. 74

      I totally agree Perez. People should think before they speak. BTW, what did you call WillIam after you got stooge-slapped?



    75. 75

      Re: shittin_condoms – A name like "shitting condoms"…..I think you are gay….ahaha….Not that there is anything wrong with it…you just seem in denial..



    76. 76

      this is an old ad……



    77. 77

      Straight people are finally starting to wake up and realize that our fathers and grandfather had it right all along: two men sucking each other off, ramming their junk up each others' a$$es, or dressing up in womens' clothing and injecting silicone in their chests is completely unnatural and repulsive. Claiming discrimination every time someone acknowledges this obvious fact does not make it any less true. I don't hate homosexuals. Not by a long shot. Heck, I'm not even interested in telling them how to live their lives… but they need to keep their deviancy behind closed doors because there's nothing natural about it and I don't want my kids seeing or hearing about it.



    78. 78

      My Perezcious would like everone to stop using gay in a pejorative fashion. Instead of this, one should say "Oh, that's so f**king f**gotty!"



    79. 79

      PC gone mad!!

      The word GAY has many meanings, like many, many other words.

      and missourimedic , please be quite you ignorant twat.



    80. 80

      Not to start any shiz, but why do we need "gay" ads? No need to advertise, it's not like anyone is recruiting. Retarded!



    81. 81

      that ad sucks, maybe thats why



    82. 82

      Haha this is the gayest ad that I've ever seen!



    83. 83

      LOLLOLOLOLOL NFL dont like the gheys

    84. galli says – reply to this


      84

      congratz cbs……. totally agree with the network!!



    85. 85

      Re: missourimedic – - oh but i bet you dont mind homosexuality when your wanking over two lesbians huh?? youre pathetic…..



    86. 86

      Oh for God sake. STFU. These ads are stupid. Not the message, but the people delivering them. The analogies are stupid. God, get over it Mario. NOBODY FREAKING CARES.



    87. 87

      FUCK YOU,CBS………..

    88. Visa says – reply to this


      88

      Way to go CBS. I'm am so tired of everything Perez does revolving around Gay Agenda. Gays are a very small % of the American population. Those against it have as much rights as those for it. I can care less either way, doesn't effect my life one bit, but I am getting tired head of having it shoved down my throat.



    89. 89

      Mancrunch I could understand, it's a pretty cheap and pretty low budget to say the least.
      This one though is acceptable and in good taste with a great message! Seriously Super Bowl… WTF!?



    90. 90

      HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA



    91. 91

      The reason they didn't air it is probably because IT IS AN OLD COMMERCIAL!! 2 YEARS OLD!



    92. 92

      that was true… though the commercial is not convincing at all ppl will just laugh at it…LOL



    93. 93

      "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but WORDS WILL ALWAYS HURT ME!" The most powerful thing in the world are words.



    94. 94

      THIS blog is SO GAY! There! Said it!

      The originial/true definition of GAY: happily excited: merry



    95. 95

      that is wrong. i also love love hilary duff so thats is a bummer too. if u wanna see the PSA it is availble on her offical itunes podcast though



    96. 96

      WHO CARES



    97. 97

      Um, hold up. I'm GAY, and I found the MANCRUNCH ad to be DISGUSTING and INSULTING. I'm HAPPY it was banned from the SuperBowl commercial line-up!



    98. 98

      This AD encourages the use of the GAY word!



    99. 99

      fuck cbs. bunch of homophobic, woman-hating assholes.



    100. 100

      i know, so gay!

      just kidding!
