bullet Summary of the eRumor The eRumor is from the American Family Association and says that Procter & Gamble has published a print ad that shows two men in bed after an apparent sexual encounter. The email encourages a boycott of Procter & Gamble for the ad and for other statements in support of homosexuality. Another email campaign urged protest against Procter & Gamble for advertising on the "Will and Grace" television show as well as "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy.".

bullet The Truth The ad is real. It is for a Procter & Gamble product called Downey Wrinkle releaser. It's a two-page ad that includes a picture of a string of men's clothes on the floor marking a trail to a bed in which two men are shown embracing, but under the covers. Procter & Gamble says the ad appeared in a Canadian magazine several years ago but was pulled. The ad has been archived by The Commercial Closet, an organization that keeps watch on gay advertising. According to a columnist with The Commercial Closet, Procter & Gamble has been venturing into advertising in the gay community and targeted to gays. In June, 2001, a Procter & Gamble Head & Shoulders dandruff shampoo ad ran on a gay website showing two attractive men saying, "He's one" and "So is he" then the caption "They are, too!" But the punch line was "Proud Head & Shoulders users." The Commercial Closet also says Procter & Gamble ran another ad for their Physique hair care product that asked, "Can you keep it up for hours? Try the new Physique Styling Stick."

Procter & Gamble has also put advertising dollars into "Will and Grace" and "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy," according to the Commercial Closet.

Oh boy....no wonder they dumped Glenn Beck!

[Fast Moving Angel]

Exactly what I was thinking. Okay, from now on, it’s check the labels and boycott P&G.

[Islam=Murder]

I’m not gay enough for Proctor + Gamble.

I should probably stop buying ALL P+G products immediately.

[USMCPOP]

Well, release my wrinkle.

[gathersnomoss]

PG is looking for another place to store the soap.

[minip]

Checking labels from now on. No Proctor&Gamble in this house, EVER AGAIN!!

I just went to their site and sent the following e-mail:

I am thoroughly disgusted with this company, and will no longer buy anything which you produce. In my sincere view, you are guilty of trying to destroy America through the infiltration of the homosexual agenda by putting an ad on television which is so morally offensive that I will no longer allow any of my children to watch anything you support. You can take your Downy Wrinkle elsewhere.

In addition, I have begun a personal campaign to see that your business doesn’t benefit from this corruption.

I sincerely hope that you find your business one of the many casualties of the Obama administration. Many, many times, there are monetary consequences of evil moral decisions.

Let’s see if P & G can base their profits on pandering to such a tiny percentage of the population. They aren’t getting my money!

[Morgana]

Good for you!

[Republic]

Good email. Nailed.

Reilly slams Romney on PAC activity
Attorney General Thomas F. Reilly yesterday criticized Governor Mitt Romney
...alleging that the governor is focusing too much attention on his national ambitions and not enough on the issues facing Massachusetts.
Reilly, who has told colleagues he will seek the Democratic nomination for governor next year,
specifically cited the Procter & Gamble takeover of Gillette Co., the Boston razor giant, saying the governor
allowed the acquisition to take place right under his nose without putting up a fight.

Voting with my pocketbook. No problem.

[pray4liberty]

Oh, Good Lord!

[fso301]

Competitor should come up with an ad campaign:

Don't gamble with sex! Protect your proctor!

[MCH]

Gives “Procter and Gamble” a whole new meaning!

Yeah, P & G = Proctology & Gerbils
