CBS Bans Gay Dating Site ManCrunch Ad from Super Bowl
Submitted by DeepDiveAdmin on Jan 29, 2010
CBS says it will not televise an ad from ManCrunch, a gay dating Web site, during this year's Super Bowl broadcast. The network says the spot "is not within the Network's Broadcast Standards for Super Bowl Sunday."
CBS also released the following statement: "After reviewing the ad - which is entirely commercial in nature - our Standards and Practices department decided not to accept this particular spot. As always, we are open to working with the client on alternative submissions."
What do you think? Was CBS right?

this ad would not prompt me to check the website because it is a terrible ad. There is no imagination or cause for an attraction. The only remotely funny part about it is at the end when the third guy is looking at them in disbelief.
But even if it were a good ad CBS has no backbone. One of the reason they are always number three in the ratings for the big three .
