261. Mars co. and their advertising company have baited Americans with this ad.
Edited on Tue Feb-06-07 08:20 AM by liberaldemocrat7
Just like the Republican party baits Americans with their twisted, distorted view of economic and social issues. I did not see the ad but apparently it appears very divisive based on what people have described here.

Yes, Mars wants people's attention and they play upon the theme of approaching someone of the same sex accidently to get attention and it works because it evokes big reactions. If Mars could show an ad of lions eating Christians and get attention and get away with it they would run the ad if it sold chocolate bars.

If you want to stop such ads, stop buying their products and complain to them.

Also, there appears a nasty divisive social climate fostered in America by this Republican party over the last 27 years and if you want to put an end to the Republican party stop buying from their contributors and complain to them as well. We need to get rid of the Hooverite, christofascist political party seen as the Republican party of the late 20th and early 21st century. If you cut off their money it will happen.

It does not appear enough to complain and it does not appear enough to boycott silently. You have to do both.



Let each person live their lives the best that they can and stop the hate.
