*Following complains by LGBT civil rights groups, Mars Inc. has pulled its controversial advertising campaign featuring a gay kiss. The commercial, which aired during CBS’s Super Bowl this past Sunday, showed two mechanics eating from opposite ends of a Snickers bar and after their mouths touch, ripping out their chest hair in an attempt to “do something manly.”
However, in a statement to the New York Times, Alice Nathanson, the spokesperson for Mars, refused to apologize for the campaign or admit they were wrong to show it: “Our goal was to capture the attention of our core Snickers consumer, primarily 18-to-24-year-old adult males…Feedback from our target consumers has been positive, and many media and website commentators on this year’s Super Bowl ranked the commercial among this year’s best.”
