Responses from the Super Bowl Commercial Controversies

I just received the following reply from one of the businesses whom I contacted regarding their offensive Super Bowl commercials. 

As you may or may not know, Snickers has removed their commercial, but not because of any of us contacting them and complaining.  They removed their ad because some pro-gay and lesbian groups had protested that the commercial was homophobic!  My family will continue to boycott Snickers as their reasoning is just as offensive as the commercial.  I'm considering contacting them (again) and praising the removal of the commercial but to also express my concern as to their reasoning.  I did not leave my e-mail with Snickers the first time, so I do not have a response from them.  Below is the response for the other one.
