CBS unsure if they will use gay dating site commercial

A website named Mancrunch.com is claiming discrimination because CBS won't accept their Super Bowl ad.
A spokesman for the company said they were told ad space was full, even though that isn't true. CBS now says they need more time to review the ad.
Any decision to keep the website's ad off the air will be compared to the decision to allow Tim Tebow's pro life advocacy spot. The Mancrunch ad features a harmless and somewhat jokey makeout session between dudes in football jerseys.
We were hesitant to post this for reasons other than the inevitable inappropriate comments that will have to be deleted. (Be nice, please.)
Every year around this time, we hear about companies that have ads rejected from the Super Bowl. They are often just looking for free publicity, and it works like a charm.
According to the New York Post, a final decision has yet to be made about Mancrunch's ad.
