I have seen the ads yesterday and now today! One is two gay men and the other is two lesbian women. This is a car ad folks and it is nothing more than a car for for gays and lesbians! I'm totally disgusted and goin to tell Lexus I will not ever buy any of their products!

Disgusting!

I AM OUTRAGED! I'm not sure quite about what, but holiday boycotts seem to be all the rage these days on FR. Just count me out of society altogether. Thanks.

If this offends you, then don't ever leave your house again. Who knows what your eyes might see.

Dude, that was not the point of the commercials at all.

If the two women or the two men were a couple, they would not be confused as to who just got a car for Christmas.

The point is that they are both hoping their spouse bought it for them, with the implication being that the spouse who didn't is going to look bad by comparison.

Maybe dumb television commercials are a bit too advanced for you.

Lexus joins growing list of automakers seeking gay buyers

"Being gay myself, I'm aware of how critical the market and its income are. I've got all that hardwired into me," he says. "There's a predisposition in our community towards luxury goods, so why shouldn't Lexus be among them?"

Yeah, I did see the ladies... And I thought that odd... but the second time I saw it I noticed one woman put her hand on the car and the other was eyeing her as to say 'get your hand off my car'. At least that's the way I took it..

thanks for posting that! That is what I'm trying to say! The commercial may be somewhat normal to some of us, but in reality it is pushing homosexuality and the owner of Lexus is gay and said he was going push advertisement for gay and lesbians.

Exactly.

But I'm not buying a Lexus either, due to other considerations that aren't in my bank account.

"Brian Bolain, Lexus' national advertising and media manager outlines the process that led Lexus into the market in a Gay365.com interview. Being gay himself, Bolain elaborated on how and why Toyota rolled out Scion to the gay community, and how such lessons are being applied to the company's upscale Lexus brand."

The two guys walk out of two separate houses and neither of them knows whether or not his wife bought him the car. (It's the same thing for the two women.)

Right. And at the end of the women's commercial, each woman says she has "something to do" back in her own house. Personally, I think the commercials are just totally dumb. But that's just me, perfectly happy with my 2001 SUV.

I don't know how anyone can look at those commercials and see this.

The people come from different houses, the car is in a spot on the property line where you can't tell which house it belongs to. The characters speak abut their respective garages.

Also both characters act as though they are unsure of the vehicle's ownership, if they are homosexual, then obviously one of them gave the other the gift.

One must not be very perceptive, or see a gay boogeyman behind every corner to come to your conclusion.

And before you saw this commercial you were planning on buying a Lexus?

Can't buy a Lexus, they market to gays. Can't buy a Ford, they market to gays. Can't buy GM, they market to liberals. Can't buy a Honda or a Toyota, they put Americans out of work.

So what do you drive, a Schwinn?

That doesn't surprise me.. Corporations are rife with 'diversity training' and this is what you get. But, as to the two commercials in question, I don't think they are targeted at gay people.
