I believe it. Will you believe this ad that ran in Buttlove (or was it Butthead?) Monthly?

You will not believe this ad by Johnson & Johnson
Johnson & Johnson has placed an ad for its Tylenol PM product in the July 19 issue of The Advocate, the nation's leading homosexual magazine.
The ad shows two shirtless men in bed side by side. The text over one reads: "His backache is keeping him up." Over the other: "His boyfriend's backache is keeping him up."
Click here to see a copy of the ad. (Be warned, it is offensive)
You probably aren't aware that Johnson & Johnson is also a charter advertiser on the homosexual network LOGO. Thanks to Johnson & Johnson's committment to financially support homosexuality, it is only a short time before this premiere homosexual-based network will become a part of your local cable package (if it isn't already). While Johnson & Johnson voluntarily helps get the network off the ground, you will be forced to pay for it as part of your regular cable bill.
Johnson & Johnson says they will ignore emails from OneMillionDads.com, so your personal involvement is needed today!
Please take time to call Johnson & Johnson. Their toll-free number is 1-800-962-5357, option 5 (you may be on hold for a minute or two). Their corporate phone number is 732-524-0400 with little or not waiting time.
Tell them to stop their financial support of homosexual networks and magazines. Please be kind, but firm, when you call.
Tylenol PM is sold under Johnson & Johnson's subsidiary, McNeil Consumer & Specialty Pharmaceuticals.
Please take action now, then forward this critical issue message to your friends and family.

P.S. Please forward this to your family and friends!
Yeah, but big or little?......
Speaking of up, looks like one of the guys in the ad is starting to "pitch a tent."
Who cares? Johnson & Johnson is trying to sell pain medication. This is just targeted marketing.
This is about Johnson and Johnson making a profit.
Most of the non-gay community wouldn't even know about this if it wasn't for Wildmon promoting it.
J&J will make more money promoting this ad than they will lose by AFA boycotting them.
Heck, even the Southern Baptists say it's okay to go back to Disneyland...
I's a homosexual magazine...if that's offensive to people, I have a suggestion....don't buy it. Good Lord above, the things that get people all exorcised! It's bewildering.
This is an ad in The Advocate, whose readership is probably 99% homosexual. It's not like this ad is in Reader's Digest, or whatever.
Its a suppository for the gay communiti.
Blue Butt
"Too much Viagra is keeping him up at night..."
And let's face it. Gays are a marketer's dream. Lots of disposable income, since they don't have to spend it on kids, they tend to be more impulsive in their buying habits.
LOL...Outstanding!
Not tonight dear, I have a headache.
Do you live in a cave? Gay people buy their groceries at the same store you do.
Sure. I imagine J&J does a lot of targetted advertising. The version of this ad for Ebony probably involves a (straight) black couple, for example.
Nothing wrong with that, IMO. J&J is selling pain pills- a gay dollar is the same as a straight dollar.
Looks pretty tame to me....
I've never looked at a homosexual magazine, but I'm (now) aware of this ad. Being aware of something doesn't mean that you've immersed yourself in the environment in which it's found.
What is your point, anyway? Are you trying to belittle "the messenger"?
Thanks. As J&J stockholders as well as users of their products, I have written the company, for whatever good it will do. I've informed them that we'll dump their stock as well as never purchasing their products and encouraging as many as possible to follow suit.
This is a captalist society. Hence, the more people you market to, the more money you will make.
I believe it. Will you believe this ad that ran in Buttlove (or was it Butthead?) Monthly?
"I am the Great Cornholio. I need some Tylenol for my bunghole.
Can't civility be returned to our society?
Considering that it appeared in a magazine that is directed to homosexuals, I'd never have seen it. And the guys who DID see it probably wouldn't be offended.
Yeah, I know, Sodom and Gomorrah and all that.
