Suppose I told you the ad showed clothing scattered across the floor like the two men were in a hurry to get undressed and get into the bed.
Substitute a man and a woman, and I would still be offended. I'm sick of the over-sexualizing of everything in our society. And now it's a laundry product, for god's sake! But that's just me. I'm against porn, unlike many of the FR posters. Tsss, call me a conservative!
I'm not big on boycotts. I haven't boycotted any of the companies (or music groups) proposed by posters on FR, but I think I'll boycott Proctor & Gamble. Their ad sounds pretty repulsive. I'm not even anti-gay, just anti having it thrown in my face.
You need to boycott Burger King now. They have a commerical that shows a man sleeping waking up next to the King. Creepy.
Suggestions that one pursue a course of change, isn't equivalent to FORCING anyone to suppress their "so-called" nature.
So you're yawning. Who cares?
BTTT
as a long time shareholder, I thank you
That's when I stopped buying P&G products. I'd bought Crest toothpaste and Tide for more than two decades, but no more. Haven't bought them in ages. No more of P&G's Millstone coffee in the house, either. And whenever I have the opportunity to steer someone away from buying P&G, I do.
Well, then I guess the same could be said for you.
Re: affirmative action
Someone may be a Republican and for affirmative action. I don't like making race the sole criteria for affirmative action. I prefer factoring in, as a factor, economic conditions of the person's upbringing, rather than race. But its not the only factor. There's nothing wrong with that, as I see it.
I really see no connection between this ad and other shady stuff P&G may do. There may be reasons to boycott P&G, but my point all along was: This isn't one of those reasons.
What I want to know is what are the repos of this fine organization doing hunting and pecking in gay magazines and newspapers? What did they expect? And maybe they have a closeted interest in pouring over the pictorals and other stuff? Hahaha.
There's no comparison.
I agree an ad like that is more troublesome to me, too.
I think it's crytal clear to most posters, that people on this forum do not march lock, step and barrel on any issue without your input.
Haha, that's a great line! I can't really say as I don't know the man. I can say there must be better uses of time than pouring over gay magazines and newspapers looking for stuff to offend your sensibilities.
I remember seeing concerned people on tv talk shows during the 80s who would discuss the vileness of porn on home video, and casually mention their long hours documenting it.
Gee whiz, people, what's there to document? There's probably one or two dozen things that go on and everything after that is just different permustations of the 'dirty dozen.'
What do they do, have meetings in one member's house, pop in a porn video, make popcorn, and all watch and jot down stuff on their notepads? Try telling me there's not something whacked out with that, huh? People like this aren't conservatives - I honestly don't know what they are, really.
Each side of the political spectrum has its share of loopies - it's just that our loopies seem to have odd sexual hangups, and that their loopies are just far more numerous! :-)
