	<description>Pat Cunningham offers an unabashedly liberal perspective on national politics. A note of caution: The language gets a litttle salty on some of the sites to which this blog links. So, don't say you weren't warned. By the way, this blog's name is inspired by the Will Rogers quote, "All politics is applesauce."</description>

		<description>Yeah, it's just an incredible coincidence that Snickers has had two commericals that might be seen as homophobic and that the Mars family is a bunch of "family values" right-wingers. Come on. That ad is an exercise in gay-bashing, clear and simple.</description>

		<description>The assumption of this person being gay is just that, an assumption.

I believe this is a stretch by the homosexual community to attempt to keep the focus on themselves and their agendas.

Sorry, Pat -- I do not see it as being homophobic. 

If anything, it is a knock against speed walkers versus real joggers.

In other words, this ad is a non-issue.</description>

		<description>Whatever.  

If you're offended, then, don't buy a Snickers bar.

This isn't a conspired Right-Wing attack on our homosexual population.  It's a group of 20-something marketing department employees (at Mars, inc.) making an off-the-wall commercial.

Please.  

I'm guilty of time waste for even commenting on this.</description>
