Sheeesh... people should lighten up a bit. I didn't think it spread hatred.

I think some people like to get their knickers twisted about anything.

I'm usually of the mindset that the general public is overly sensitive, without seeing the ad & going by the below description from the article, I think it was done in poor taste and am glad that it was removed.

The ad that said eating a Chicken McBite was less risky than petting a pit bull enraged pit bull owners and their defenders.

I can understand the pit bull owners being upset given the stereotype about them.

But I find that JCP commercial with those stupid, screeching women to be far worse

Agreed. In fact, I find most of TV to be stereotypical and dumbed down.

Give me AxMen or Gold Rush: Alaska anytime!
