Watching Super Bowl Can Make You Gay

FCC Complaint: Parent Thinks Super Bowl Will Turn Son Gay

Posted Mar 5th 2007 6:50PM by Michael David Smith

The Federal Communications Commission received about 150 complaints regarding the Super Bowl broadcast on CBS, and The Smoking Gun has compiled the best of them. Most of the complaints centered around the idea that the broadcast was promoting homosexuality:

As one viewer noted in an e-mail, the "pro-homosexual theme" of this year's event, telecast on CBS, was "disgraceful." The writer added that "just because 6% of the population is gay," porn did not need to be included in the broadcast. Another purportedly offended viewer was concerned that the halftime show would have an unfortunate lasting effect on his son, who "hoped to be a quarterback and now he will turn out gay...Thanks CBS for turning my son GAY."


What's fascinating is that although most of the complaints were implying that it was a pro-gay broadcast, in the immediate aftermath of the game there were complaints that it was an anti-gay Super Bowl. It should be noted that if the FCC heard from 150 Super Bowl viewers, that means about one out of every million viewers lodged a complaint.

Screw the gays, no pun intended, I don't think that the super bowl should have to appeal to any one group. Whether it be the gays or anyone else, I don't think it's right to bring in an anti-gay or pro-gay scenario into the whole thing. It's football for god sakes, not a runway pageant.

Im sorry if i affend anyone on this board. But i dont understand why the gays want to make this whole deal about coming out of the closet and telling there teamates. To me that just makes it worse, because now your teamates would be weirder around you. I mean how would you feel if you had a gay guy staring at you all practice. I dont know but i think they should just stop making the whole deal about it.

If a kid sees to kids smoking in a commercial, he may want to do it.

However, if a kid sees to guys kissing, he isn't going to run to school asking people to smooch him.

What is wrong with these people? :roll:

[gbpackfan]

Ballhawk,

What is the kid smoking? Pole? That sounds pretty gay to me (not that there is anything wrong with that!)

[BallHawk]

Oh, and I love the one about someone calling two guys kissing porn.

I've been to Miami tons of times and South Beach has a fair number of gays, and if seeing two guys kissing is porn, than I'm one messed up pervert.

Well the halftime show was Prince. What were they expecting for God's sakes Christian lullabies?

They also thought Prince, behind his shadow curtain, was making "sexual references."

Jesus Christ, Family Guy was right. Soon the Dick van Dike Show is going to be bleeped out. Can I go out on a limb and say some Americans are just a little bit oversensitive?

[CaliforniaCheez]

It is none of my business what they do in their own homes. I don't pry.

But Frankly, I don't like the militant types waving their lifestyle in my face and call me a hater if I do not want to touch their lifestyle with a 10' pole.

.................some Americans are just a little bit oversensitive?


I think there's some cream you can get for that.

That's what I mean. He's had that guitar since 1983, what were they thinking was gonna happen? Yes, people are oversensitive. If watching the Prince halftime show can make your son gay, then there's something he wasn't telling you in the first place...

At first I thought "Good god, if watching a commercial is going to cause major lifechanges, what the hell is wrong with you?"

Then I thought, "How amusing would it be if people were actually influenced in major lifechanging ways by commercials and other bits of incidental pop culture?"

I mean, you could sue Geico when your children forget about fire and the wheel.

It's kind of interesting listening to people complain about the overreaction to the super bowl marketing. If you are one of the ones bitching about how stupid this whole thing is and you are a liberal, congratulations on your hypocrisy. If it wasn't for the liberal mindset, we wouldn't have to worry about shit like this. The "everyone is a victim because of the evil rich white man" philosophy appears to have come full circle. I sure hope anyone bitching about this isn't a liberal because I sure would hate for you to explain how you didn't know this was coming with all of your "gay rights" appeals...

This crap kills me. WTF makes ANYBODY think a gay guy would be "staring" at anyone else all the time?? If you're a heterosexual male, do you "stare" at your female co-workers ina way that makes them so uneasy they'll complain? I bet not. Do you run around at work and try to bed every woman there, even the ones that are not interested in you? Do you harrass them and stare and bother them? I doubt it. Hell, we had this whole conversation ten years ago about female reporters in the lockerroom. Now it's fairly common practice (in Detroit we have female reporters covering the Pistons, Wolverines, and Spartans beats) and nobody's too bothered by those nasty women checking out the guys. People do their jobs.

For the record, I started this read because I thought the story about a guy afraid his son will become gay because he saw the halftime show was funny. Of course, it's possible the guy was just joking too. Lighten up everybody.

Dang Fritz, you had me on at least half those questions! :twisted:
When The Odds wrote their song 'Heterosexual Man' I thought they were talking about me!

I wanna make every woman I see
I wanna make every woman I see
Do you know what's the matter with me?
I'm a heterosexual man
just a heterosexual man

Here's the only test you need to determine gayness

One by one - here we go:


This crap kills me. WTF makes ANYBODY think a gay guy would be "staring" at anyone else all the time?? If you're a heterosexual male, do you "stare" at your female co-workers in a way that makes them so uneasy they'll complain?

Only if they catch me doing it.

I bet not. You loose the bet

Do you run around at work and try to bed every woman there, even the ones that are not interested in you?

Repeatedly. It's my job as a man to "spread the seed" I even go to other peoples work for the same purpose.

Do you harrass them and stare and bother them? I doubt it.

No harrassment but I do like to look, again - repeatedly.

Hell, we had this whole conversation ten years ago about female reporters in the lockerroom. Now it's fairly common practice (in Detroit we have female reporters covering the Pistons, Wolverines, and Spartans beats) and nobody's too bothered by those nasty women checking out the guys.

That is slightly different than having a homo teammate. A hetero guy who is self confident would actually encourage women to check them out.



Here's the deal - guys are guys regardless if they are gay or not.

What I mean by that is that we all know that men put out. You cannot argue that. We all know that the instinctual drive for all men is to put their manhood into anything they personally find even remotely attractive (and depending on their level of drunkenness - even the unattractive). Nature of the beast. It's part of being an animal.

Here's a scenario to ponder:

A hetero man has a sex change operation. Now he gets to use the womens shower at the gym with all the other women. He's still hetero, he's looking at every woman in his daily life and now that he can see them naked, his drooling is over the top. If the other women in that shower do not know that he is a hetero man who had a sex change operation, they probably are indifferent to it. But once that knowledge gets out (coming out of the closet) and into the heads of the women using the same shower this is what happens:

1. There will be someone who feels violated and/or dirty as a result of unkowingly showering with a man (sex change or not)
2. The usage of the aforementioned shower will decline - especially when that "sex change man" person is at the gym.

I could go on - but there would be a level of "uncomfortable-ness" maybe not from all the women, but certainly from many.

I'm a self confident guy. My ladyfriends have repeatedly told me how their male "gay friends" find me attractive. Now if I suddenly found out that one of my teammates that I play sports with is gay and has been for some time, I would certainly be uncomfortable with that. I do not believe it's too radical of a concept to understand.

Think about it.
