Too Sensitive

Last week I saw that there were numerous Super Bowl ads that had people in an uproar demanding action. One was a GM commercial showing a robot jump off a cliff because he messed up on the job. Suicide activists are claiming this makes fun of depressed people and such. Oh please. Another commercial that raised eyebrows was a Snickers ad that showed two men momentarily kissing; critics said it was homophobic. I'm not sure how many people responded in print to the Snickers ad but the GM ad got 250 responses from some stupid people who must not have anything else to do with their time. Some of the people with problems with the GM ad claimed that because of it, they would never by a GM vehicle. Oh my God, like GM is going to hurt if these losers don't by from them. What these people need to understand is that everything in this world, and I mean everything, is disliked by someone. If everyone got a chance to get rid of one thing they don't like, there would be nothing and no one on this Earth. If you don't like what you see on television, change the channel. If you don't like what you read, turn the page. If you don't like a song, turn off the radio. Hell, I personally don't like country music but you don't see me calling my congressman trying to get CMT and all the country stations taken off the air. These too sensitive people in my opinion need to be boxed away so that they will never have the chance at being offended. To all of those people and anyone who believes that just because they don't like something it needs to be eradicated, get a life and a clue.
