Mike Arrington recently submitted an ad (see below) for the newest “Crunch” site to CBS for airing during the Super Bowl. CBS chose not to air it. I do not agree with this decision. It smacks of homotechnophobia to me, and I don’t like it one bit. Mike should be applauded for bringing homosexual men into the tech community. Apparently it’s fine to be a lesbian in tech, but if you want to be a gay technologist, no go. Look at poor Owen Thomas, he was driven out of tech and forced to get a high paying prestigious job with a real company. That’s just not right in my book. Think of the cross linking possibilities lost with CrunchGear. This is a real shame, and shows just how closed minded the media is when it comes to homosexual technologists. I’m only hoping that Mike fights this with all the vigor he has, he took on the Video Professor, he can take on the breeders.
I see nothing wrong with this commercial. It’s adorable and completely Mike’s sense of humor.
