I wonder if a lot of people missed this, because I hadn’t heard anyone talk about it. I only noticed it because it set up a funny debate. In the Mini Cooper commercial, they had some butt-ugly butch woman standing in front of the car saying: “It’s a gay car.”
The following ensued between Franco and my best friend, Dave:
FRANCO: “Hey, they just said that was a gay car in that commercial!”
DAVE: “No they didn’t.”
FRANCO: “Yes they did!”
DAVE: “No they didn’t!”
FRANCO: “YES, THEY DID!”
DAVE: “No way...no way!”
FRANCO: “I’ll bet you five bucks they did.”
DAVE: “No way, you’re on!” (handshake)
(Host rewinds broadcast, replays the commercial. Commercial says “It’s a gay car.” All mouths gaping. Dave pulls five dollar bill out and hands it to Franco.)
Unbelievable.
And here we thought all the gays drove Subarus, LOL
well, is it a gay car? :)
I went out with a guy who drove that very car. He got so mad at me when I joked, “I can’t be seen in this car! I’m a Teamster!”
Like NARAL with the Doritos commercial, I was offended by the Mini Cooper commercial because it “humanizes” homosexuals.
