Super Bowl Ad Resorts to Gay Stereotype

New York Times advertising columnist Stuart Elliott breaks down the Super Bowl ads beyond the Tim Tebow-Focus on the Family controversy. The gay reporter says that slapstick ads in particular were "overused," a reflection of Madison Avenue's reluctance to take risks in difficult times.

The ads panned by Elliott include one from Motorola that featured two highly effeminate-looking men slapping each other in an apparent lovers' quarrel. His verdict? A tired tactic.

"Other sponsors revived several other overused Super Bowl ad tactics aimed at younger viewers," writes Elliott. "Doritos, KGB and Motorola, among others, tried slapstick violence."
