Everyone has their personal interpretation of comments made by public figures like Roland. We should be petitioning FCC about the ad and the nudity exposure since it was on prime TV. Didn't FCC come out with a policy that more sanctions would be applied to commercials and ads that crossed this line? Let's not make Roland the fall guy for a having some fun during the Super Bowl Game just as we all did.

Gays must stop making everything an issue when they feel like someone is speaking against their life style. It is all about perception. Roland indicated that his statement was not about them and I believe him. I have been in his company several times and he is an honest man. CNN, this is why you hired him. He is a man of character.
