RE # 18: I boycott them too

[Modernman]

Looking back on He-Man, he had about as many gay tendencies as Liberace.

Seriously, other than a gay S&M club, where on God's green earth is this an appropriate outfit?:

I don't care where companies try to sell their products. The argument that if I sell a Ford to a lesbian must mean that I "endorse her lifestyle" to me is loony (I don't sell Fords, I don't endorse her lifestyle, for the record).

But the ad is horrible. It's just...bad advertising.

Gays won't like it, on aesthetic grounds at least. And, it's clear pandering. Jeesh.

Not to mention, couldn't they have gone for an ache or pain somewhere else besides the...back?

[HereInTheHeartland]

Sick...

[opinionator]

is an "in your face" phenomena in every sector of the media

Perhaps, you should pull your "face" out of these gay magazines.

[TheBigB]

I think it's the extra-long sword that puts it waaaay over the top. ;-)

[Squantos]

So Tylenol is makin suppositories now ?

[squirt-gun]

Okay. Even if true, what does that have to do with an ad for Tylenol in a gay magazine?

Everything.....Because people need to know that the steady errosion of "civility" that has taken place in all media venues for the past four decades will ultimately force normal people to be immersed in what passes for acceptable advertisements, productions, and pictorials in so called "gay" magazines.

Hmmmmmm.....

I don't know if "civility" is the word you really mean. I mean the guys aren't being rude to each other; they're not at each other's throats (yet, so to speak); they're being civil to each other in the broad sense of that word.

Oh my!!! You miss the issue entirely with your cute cut.

Pls see 68......Its a societal issue that most normal folks....particularly those with children..... understand.

For those in Rio Linda, "normal" means people who aren't deviants.

If ads like this started popping up in Time or Newsweek, or whatever, people would be free to stop buying such magazines.

Nobody is forcing you to look at these ads.

[squirt-gun]

I don't know if "civility" is the word you really mean.

Perhaps civility may not be the best word...But the issue has nothing to do with rudeness or the like..... It has to do with such things as the vulgarization of manners,the decline of kindness to others, the loss of courtesy, and all the other things that make humanity worthwhile.

[LoneRangerMassachusetts]

I believe gay people get headaches too.

And sore throats and backside aches!

[TheSpottedOwl]

I thought that pic was a joke, when I saw it on another thread. Just damn...

How do you manage to boycott Johnson & Johnson?

[conserv13]

For those in Rio Linda, "normal" means people who aren't deviants.

'Normal' is a setting on the washing machine.

[stinkerpot65]

Those little aches and pains won't seem so important when they are spending eternity in hell.

[squirt-gun]

'Normal' is a setting on the washing machine.

For some folks with limited capacities what you say is surely true. For those people, words such as "two" and "too" and "to" all mean the same thing as well.

[sheik yerbouty]

Perhaps a stool softener...
