Super Bowl XLIV: CBS reportedly reviewing potentially controversial gay dating service ad

"Tim Tebow’s ad may not be the only controversial commercial shown during the Super Bowl," Austin Knoblauch writes, adding, "According to Fox News, CBS is considering running an ad for a gay dating website during the game. The ad is from ManCrunch.com, which promotes itself as a place "where many many many men come out to play. The ad was reportedly submitted to CBS on January 18, and it remains under review, according to a network spokesperson. Fox News reports that the commercial features two men excitedly watching a sporting event on television before brushing hands while reaching for a bowl of chips. The two then begin to make out, much to the shock of another friend sitting nearby."
