Not So Good Ad
Bad Astronomy talks about the ad that bugged Phil Plaitt. It was from Fed Ex, involving a moon base, and the abuse of science facts.
Whatever Your Saying, It's Just Wrong, Ad
AMERICAblog talks about the Snickers ad, where 2 guys kiss over a Snickers, ala Lady and the Tramp...two guys accidentally kiss, and are disgusted. Not great, but Idon't know how much it worries me. Still it is an interactive ad, with 3 possible endings. First, a very gay enters and asks to joing. Not showing a basic sensitivity. Second, they drink toxic mix to clean up. Death before dishonor. Last, they physically bash each other. Uh...
They aren't helped by the fact that the Mars family is a major contributor to conservative candidates and causes.
Human Rights Campaign and GLAAD are up in arms.
Since now the Mars and Snickers companies have promised to pull the ads/ Also the web version and not run them any longer.
