One Million Moms Vs Taco Bell

Just in via email:
Taco Bell is following a trend in crude commercials. While a few fast food restaurants are cleaning up their ads, Taco Bell decided to air a new ad named "Flash" to advertise Chickstars. The ad shows an elderly couple eating Chickstars in their car when the woman lifts up her shirt, implying she is showing her bare chest to the man. Showing a female flashing a man during a television commercial is completely inappropriate. This act has nothing to do with the food product.

Even if the couple is supposed to be married, this ad is in poor taste. It would be something children would duplicate. Everyone knows children repeat what they see. This disgusting advertisement is airing during primetime when children are likely watching. TAKE ACTION: Please contact Taco Bell (Yum! Brands) through our website and ask the company to pull their current Chickstar "Flash" ad immediately! Also, encourage Taco Bell to be more responsible in future marketing campaigns. If Taco Bell wants our business, it must no longer air sexually explicit ads.

Taco Bell: We Didn't Make That Gay Ad

Taco Bell has denied producing the commercial posted here yesterday.  Gawker has their statement: "We didn’t create this ad, but we can see the people who did share the same Live Mas passion for our brand—and our breakfast—as we do. Although we cannot condone unauthorized use of our intellectual property, we are impressed with their work and would be open to meeting with them."

Taco Bell Ad Stars Gay Couple

This "leaked" Taco Bell commercial was posted to YouTube ten days ago. Has anybody seen it aired anywhere?
