CBS Denies Gay Super Bowl Ad

Jo left early for work this morning so I've been catching up on the news.  My peaceful Sunday morning disrupted with some Gay Hate. 

Super Bowl Sunday and I'm already annoyed.  I don't even watch the game!  A former marketing guru, I tune in to the Super Bowl each year to watch the commercials.   CBS determined which controversial ads they will not air this evening. The Victim? ManCrunch

Clearly, I'm not too familiar with male dating websites, but as far as I can see, this one is no different than Match.com, except for their homosexual focus.  I will admit ManCrunch's commercial is a little racy with two men in jerseys touching hands over a bowl of chips leading to an abrupt makeout session.

But aren't Super Bowl ads typically the most divisive?

Oh wait- I forgot.  CBS did accept one controversial ad-the anti-abortion commercial featuring the mother of quarterback Tim Tebow.  So is it safe to say CBS would rather have children asking their parents about abortion rather than why two boys are kissing?
