What is Digg?276 Comments
- dunezone, on 10/12/2007, -3/+335When I watched the half time show and call me crazy if you must, but I saw a man holding a guitar and playing a song.
- felchdonkey, on 10/12/2007, -13/+335The complaint:
"It was obscene to show Prince, a HOMOSEXUAL person through a sheet, as to show his siluette while his guitar showed a very phalic symbol coming from his below-midriff section. I am very offended and I would preffer not to have showed it to my 4 children who love football. One of them has hoped to be a quarterback and now he will turn out gay. I am actually considering to check him for HIV. Thanks CBS for turning my son GAY."
I want to believe this is some kind of joke, but I'm afraid this really isn't very unusual for middle America. Every day I wonder how wise it is to let stupid people have the vote... - fantasticFlan, on 10/12/2007, -7/+209Wait, Prince is gay?
- merr, on 10/12/2007, -7/+202"I can't believe this would be allowed after what happened with Ms. Jackson."
Andre 3000 made her daughter cry? - Sangatious, on 10/12/2007, -8/+161"I am very offended and I would prefer not to have showed it to my 4 children who love football."
Yeah, cause there is nothing homoerotic about football, you know showing together, ass slapping, putting your hands under another mans genetals... - sideshowRAHEEM, on 10/12/2007, -4/+121Who new, I've been a Prince fan all my life now I find out that I've also been gay all my life just because I like the song "Purple Rain".
- Simplogic, on 10/12/2007, -2/+96Complaint Summary: "I find it highly unacceptable to have a family watching sporting event only to find Prince stroking, manipulating and fondleing his guitar behind the curtain. This image only made him look extremely large which made the rest of us feel small, and unable to preform this evening."
LOL - AWBoy666, on 10/12/2007, -0/+87There was a much funnier one also talking about the silhouette:
"This image only made him look extremely large which made the rest of us feel small and unable to perform this evening."
ROFL - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+86I'm surprised by how many got upset by the Snickers commercial.
"He then, using the Snickers bar in his mouth, simulates an erection next to the face of his co-worker."
Oh, really? I didn't see it anything like that. Is the Snickers bar supposed to be a penis they're both munching on or is that your own dirty thoughts being projected?
I swear. Some people get so uptight when they think they see something sexual when in reality the blame is on themselves if they turn it into something dirty. - dmason, on 10/12/2007, -1/+69... and according to Chapelle... he rocks at basketball and making pancakes.
- barneytoe, on 10/12/2007, -0/+65My favorite Calvin and Hobbes quote comes to mind here:
Calvin to Hobbes:
"Sometimes I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us". - vertinox, on 10/12/2007, -2/+65Strangely enough, Prince is not gay. He has gotten more female booty than all of posters on Digg combined.
- kuhlmeye, on 10/12/2007, -2/+56"Their lips meet, their tongues obviously entwine... at that point I turned it off..."
Wow, talk about out of context. These people didn't even watch the entire commercial! Lets stop being so offended by every thing and learn to enjoy ourselves for once.
I'll start:
I thought that Snickers commercial was funny... oh no, now I'm gay... - goeatsmsht, on 10/12/2007, -2/+55From # 2 - "The sheet? that was the backdrop seemed to be (stained?) with something (semen?) My children were watching and now I have to explain to them what a wet spot is on a cum covered sheet. Thanks CBS."
Just explain to your kids that those are their lucky brothers & sisters that will never be brought into the world and subjected to your stupidity.
Oh yeah, and the spots?
Try rain *****
I swear Americans (of which sadly I am one) are getting dumber and dumber by the SECOND. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -6/+57If you don't think the phallic imagery in Prince's performance was not intentional, then you clearly have no ***** idea who the hell Prince is.
Personally, I think it was genius. - dmason, on 10/12/2007, -0/+50I should have filed a complaint. "Commercials were un-funny.. Didn't mind the Snickers commercial, but I expected more boobs and beer. Oh, well... there's always next season."
- Aliasing, on 10/12/2007, -0/+49If watching Prince turned people into homosexuals, you can better believe there wouldn't be a straight woman over 30 alive.
- ThePict, on 10/12/2007, -7/+53Thanks. I always wondered how hyperlinks worked.
- davdev, on 10/12/2007, -1/+46Not to mention, that Prince isn't a homosexual. Guys been bagging hot chicks since the late 70's. Got to give him props for that
- circa1015, on 10/12/2007, -13/+58"Gay men can be quarterbacks..."
Jeff Garcia, plays for the Bucks, took the Eagles to the playoffs last year. - DreKor, on 10/12/2007, -1/+45That's the only complaint that has an validity in my mind since it shows that actual harm was done.
- fordicus, on 10/12/2007, -7/+46there are a few of those complaints that are jokes I'm pretty sure (the ones posted on TSG)
- connor2k, on 10/12/2007, -6/+43I can hardly believe that there are that many simple minded people in America who can actually read or write.
What a bunch of morons. - SnuKs, on 10/12/2007, -0/+34I swear that has to be a joke, if not, then im ashamed by the ignorance by some people!
I love how homosexuality would be the a valid reason for parent to have their kids stop watching football or any sport rather than all the other crazy crap that's going on ie: steriods, off field violence, and other bad role model examples.
Lighten up people. - Popdmb, on 10/12/2007, -4/+37Probability that the son is also the husband? 400%.
- understudy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+32
Dear Whiner,
Prince isn't gay, he just plays guitar better than you do anything in life.
_ - akzidenzgrotesk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+27um... well i'm pretty sure just about all of prince's songs are about having sex with women...
in fact, i think he might just be the straightest man on the planet. he's just so incredibly secure in his sexuality that he's not afraid of the color purple or ruffles. or phallic guitar shadows. - CkMaverick, on 10/12/2007, -0/+27If turning gay was so easy as to just require one exposure to something 'homosexual in nature' then I am pretty sure the human race would be extinct by now.
- merr, on 10/12/2007, -2/+28@ilyag: Exactly! Who watches a halftime show featuring Prince without expecting something like that? Actually, the phallic guitar is pretty mild for that guy.
- rolosworld, on 10/12/2007, -1/+26Snickers:

Prince:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=EffEF7fNLTQ - mortigon, on 10/12/2007, -1/+26Small Percentage of America: "Hey, Is that Prince behind the sheet with a guitar?"
Rest of America: "NO!!!!!! IT'S A GIANT PENIS!!!!! I'M SO OFFENDED!!!!!!" - DeeVoc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+22I need to write in and demand more *****-erotic innuendo in next year's super bowl . . .
- CarlosReyes, on 10/12/2007, -1/+23The snickers commercial made me laugh, my parents laugh, and my 10 year old brother laugh.. how can it PROMOTE homosexuality if they scream in disgust and yell "DO SOMETHING MANLY?"
- rickdigger, on 10/12/2007, -1/+22I wonder what his wife thinks about him being gay????
- benitojuarez, on 10/12/2007, -0/+21yeah i dont know how their tongues entwined...WHEN THEIR MOUTHS WERE FULL OF SNICKERS!
I didnt go through all of them but there was some flack over that GM commcercial because the robot had a daydream of jumping off a bridge and all these anti suicide groups got all butt hurt over it. - CraigJ, on 10/12/2007, -0/+21And you all thought Idiocracy was a comedy. I propose that it is, in fact, a documentary. Stupid people multiply faster than smart people. We are doomed.
- CletusJones, on 10/12/2007, -1/+22Most entertaining comment:
"my son will now turn gay. I am considering checking him for HIV"
(with what, your finger?) - MAdaXe42, on 10/12/2007, -0/+21I saw a man at th store looking at bananas - I had to stab him in the head, as he was offending my sense of morality, but I think that the BLATANT PHALLIC IMAGERY put forth by this SUB-HUMAN FAGOSEXUAL has turned me GAY! i now have AIDS!
- CletusJones, on 10/12/2007, -1/+22"My husband rushed in to see the men kissing."
What a queer.
I think there might be something her husband isn't telling her. - goeatsmsht, on 10/12/2007, -3/+23Just make the votes call-in. We can all vote a crappy singer to stardom (American Idol) but we can't seem to vote in a decent president. (Dem or Rep)
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+20"Actually, the phallic guitar is pretty mild for that guy."
Two words: assless pants. - flippedcracker, on 10/12/2007, -1/+20@dmason:
that's actually according to Charlie Murphy. - Kallius, on 10/12/2007, -0/+18"Thanks CBS for turning my son GAY."
Come on, everyone knows only SPIDERMAN can make you gay! - layeroffrost, on 10/12/2007, -0/+17prince hasn't exactly been majorly in the spotlight in the last few years, but i hardly think he's a "one-hit has-been" ...
- goeatsmsht, on 10/12/2007, -3/+20WHERE'S MY BUDBOWL!?!?!?!?
- bobothn, on 10/12/2007, -1/+17Next year they should just have a huge orgy in the middle of the field. i mean if people are going to complain give them something valid to complain about. Or better yet get rammstein to play. they always have some family friendly entertainment.
- Nightfall, on 10/12/2007, -2/+17I have to agree. After reading some of those complaints, I have to think a couple of them are fake. I mean, they have to be right? I know I am gullible, but some of these take the cake. The Snickers bar simulating an erection? Their tongues entwine in the Snickers bar commercial? Did I miss something here? Prince and the penis comparison is even a stretch, but I could see how it could be thought of. Still though, their kids being turned gay? Semen on the sheet backdrop? Come on!
Sleep well knowing that these people are voting for our future leaders! Comforting isn't it?
Goes to show you that common sense isn't so common these days. :P - vannoy, on 10/12/2007, -7/+22Not everyone in middle America is stupid or homophobic keep that in mind.. Speaking as someone from the Midwest, I have no problem with gay or lesbian people and I feel pretty confident in my intellectual and voting abilities. I am also almost positive that there are stupid people living on both coats and they don't seem to magically gravitate to middle America.
Lame and stupid comment on your part. - megabytehl, on 10/12/2007, -2/+16seems almost like we should all get offended by something non-sexual, take it in a sexual light, then submit complaints...possibly showing the lunacy of the system?
- deuceswilde, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12Sad as it may seem, someone smart enough to make that a joke probably wouldn't have been as good at misspelling every third word, only a real idiot can do that.
