100. Rosie voiced her disappointment on Tuesday's "The View."
Edited on Wed Feb-07-07 12:05 PM by JackBeck
She was pretty pissed about the depictions of violence. And she said that when she first saw the commercial on Sunday that she "knew there would be lawsuits flying." She was not happy and also commented about how she's getting tired being the "gay police" on the show.

As for your other examples, I would have to say that, for me, the reason why I'm so outraged over this ad campaign is because it deals with a much bigger issue: homophobia is allowed to run rampant and unchecked in American professional team sports. Gay athletes come out only after they retire from playing on a team because they fear being "taken out" on the playing field. This is not "a mountain made out of a molehill" because it speaks to an institutionalized acceptance of athletes who are allowed to gay-bash at free will.
