A new Snickers ad is getting a lot of play on the web and not for all the right reasons. The ad -- featuring Mr T firing a Snickers-Gun at a speedwalker  --  is blatantly homophobic according to some.

Advertising Age's Bob Garfield wrote an open letter condemning Omnicom Group (and its president John Wren) for creating the ad. "Stop the dehumanizing stereotypes. Stop the jokey violence. There is no place in advertising for cruelty. Pull the campaign. Do it now. ... How could you be so insensitive, how could you be so shallow, and how could you be so mean?"

Last year Omnicrom's TBWA, New York, created another ad for Snickers where two auto mechanics accidentally kiss. Disgusted they prove their manliness by ripping off a strip of chest hair (is that what straight men do?). However, an alternate ending had one guy attacking the other with a wrench. Now that's not nice.

The Sword argues people are over-reacting: "Can't we get over ourselves? First of all: It's an ad for a candy bar.  Second: Speedwalking has always been super queer.  And yes, in this instance, we mean 'queer' in a bad way ... Cleanse every instance of mild cruelty out of every TV show, movie, and candy bar ad and we'll be left with a lot of episodes of "7th Heaven" and a bunch of mild, humorless hippies lying around hugging each other."

You'd think that a law with the words "child protection" in it would have to be good thing, wouldn't you? WRONG! The Child Online Protection Act (COPA) attempts to ban from the Net  "material that is harmful to minors" that is posted "for commercial purposes." The real intent: to censor the porn we all know and love. This week a panel of the Third Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals affirmed that COPA is "impermissibly overbroad and vague" and therefore Unconstitutional.

COPA's history goes way back to 1996 when the US Congress passed the Conmmunications Decency Act, designed to ban "indecent" and "obscene" speech from the Web. Sound Unconstitutional? The Supreme Court thought so, too. Congress did not relent, and soon passed COPA, which was essentially a watered down version of the Communications  Decency Act, in 1998.

COPA has never been enforced due to a court order that allowed for the law to be challenged. It has spent the last decade wending its way through the court system and the federal government has lost at every turn.

The Justice Dept. now has the choice to continue its crusade, seeking leave to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court. We hope they let COPA die as it deserved to. More at AVN.

Like him or hate him, you cannot deny that Zeb Atlas is physically impressive. Even his muscles have muscles. And for those men who like watching built straight dudes getting worked on by built gay dudes, Falcon has a bit of a treat for you: non-gay Atlas has shot a scene with the equally impressive -- though much more gay -- Matthew Rush.

Falcon is calling it a "clash of the titans" creating "a holy communion of Matthew’s hungry mouth and Zeb’s eager body, with cocksucking and ass-eating action so intense and so fierce, it can only climax with two explosive eruptions."

The scene is part of the video "The Bachelor Party" to be released in September. However, Falcon has made this one scene available on their site for download now.

You know, Mr Atlas, this is how all those Randy Blue boys got started. First there's a little sucky-sucky, then a little fucky-fucky, and then ... well, maybe it's time to kiss your cherry goodbye.

Move over J-Lo; a man in Britain has just had his bum insured for £1million. The 54-year-old Graham Butterfield works for Silentnight bed manufacturers in Barnoldswick, Lancashire as the official bed tester. 

"I have increased sensitivity around the buttock area and can feel the difference in the materials used in beds," he told the Mirror. "I am very proud to be the owner of a £1million backside."

The next Superman? "I want to make it clear that my bottom's super-powers are quite natural. I have no need of a special care regime," he added cheekily. Well, hopefully he's at least using soap.

There's a few porn star asses we think should be insured ... you know, for the good of mankind and all that.

Janet Jackson's breast-baring wardrobe malfunction on CBS during the 2004 Super Bowl halftime show will not cost $550,000 from an indecency fine leveled at the station by the Federal Communications Commission. A federal appeals court has thrown the case out stating the FCC "acted arbitrarily and capriciously."

An estimated 90 million people watched as Justin Timberlake reached for Jackson's bustier and accidentally pulled it open revealing her boob.

FCC Chairman Kevin J. Martin said he was "surprised by today's decision and disappointed for families and parents. ... I continue to believe that this incident was inappropriate."

"Like any agency, the FCC may change its policies without judicial second-guessing," the court said. "But it cannot change a well-established course of action without supplying notice of and a reasoned explanation for its policy departure."

"The court agreed with us: the FCC's inconsistent and unexplained departure from prior decisions leaves artists and journalists confused as to what is, and is not, permissible," said Andrew Jay Schwartzman of the Media Access Project who filed a brief to the court concerning the case.

Tim Winter of  Parents Television Council attacked the decision. "If a striptease during the Super Bowl in front of 90 million people — including millions of children — doesn't fit the parameters of broadcast indecency, then what does?" Winter said. Breasts scare him.

Let's hope this opens the door to more wardrobe malfunctions, preferably below the belt. But next time it's Timberlake's turn.

Three residents of the Aegean Sea island of Lesbos are licking their wounds today after an Athens court rejected their complaint that gay women were monopolizing the term 'lesbian.'

"The word lesbian has been associated with gay women for the past few decades but we have been Lesbians for thousands of years," Dimitris Lambrou, one of the complainants, said.

The court, however, countered that the term "lesbian" neither defines status nor personality; thus the islanders had no case.

Lambrou promised to appeal the case. The man really needs a hobby.

Lance Bass has a brand spanking new boyfriend, named Sebastian Leal. And the personal trainer is already married ... to a woman.

According to the ever reliable New York Post's Page Six: "Leal, who is Italian but was born and raised in Brazil, married US citizen Jessica Gannon nine years ago - and never got a divorce." They are separated, however, due to 'irreconcilable differences.'"

Could those differences have anything to do with Leal's love for cock? Just wondering ...

Calvin Morett of Saratoga Springs, NY was a bit of a dick during his high school graduation ceremony last year, held at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center. The 19-year-old wore a 6ft penis costume and sprayed attendees with Silly String during the event.

This week a judge ordered the young man to take out an ad in the local newspaper to apologize for the stunt. He was also ordered to complete 24 hours of community service and was fined $100.

You'd think the community would want to pay Calvin for adding a little spice to another otherwise boring grad ceremony.
