this is the Logo for the ads

[edzo4]

the ad is here:

these are the lyrics to the TV ad:

There's a rainbow around my shoulder
And a sky of blue above
And I'm shouting so the world will know
That I'm in love

There's a rainbow around my shoulder
`Cause I'm in love

It sounds like a promo for those classified ads appearing in the back pages of various alternative newsweeklies.

Similar titles have included “Consenting Adults” and “Entre Nous.”

I live in Massachusetts. Politicians in and from this state suck. Laws and regulations in this state suck. Taxes in this state suck. Homo marriage in this state sucks. but, I do not see any problem with the sign

[Seaplaner]

Actually, I plan to vacation in Massachusetts.

(It's on my "to visit" list, right after Beirut and Chad.)

Methinks you’re reading a little too much into it.

Mind you, I think Taxachusetts is a pretty gay place to take a vacation, but . . .

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Soon to be followed by a rainbow-titled add for New Hampshire, recently invaded by Massholes.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

LOL! I can just hear another song promo: ..........”voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?”

[anniegetyourgun]

“It” is all there, alright.

[Melinda]

Yep, the double entendre is pretty blatant. Almost worse is watching the kid jump into Boston Harbor with the Mystic River Bridge behind him, LOL. Yeah, it's supposed to be a beach, but it's just too close for comfort.

watch out for your west flank, vermont is MA without the economy

[Migraine]

Methinks you’re reading a little too much into it.

I dunno; I kinda think the creator of the ad campaign has "the eye", too.

[DTogo]

Q: what’s all there?

[edzo4]

only if the village people are not available

[SeabeeDet01]

“It’s All Queeah”

[SnakeDoctor]

Its a rainbow. So what? I’m not sure when a color spectrum necessarily became a gay statement ... but I see no problem with this.

My daughter draws rainbows all over the place — do you think she might be a GLAAD operative?

I was expecting something much worse. Not a word about being gay. In fact the listings are very normal. Not a very good commercial I will give you that, but not the scary ghost either. I was nervous to look at first...lol. No telling what these crazies would put on the TV. It is very tame.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

That state went down long ago.

[massgopguy]

My friend lives right at the complex where the kid is jumping in. That’s the view from her balcony. It’s at the convergence of Chelsea Creek. Get that kid a Tetanus Shot.

[edzo4]

Just because you are naive about the rainbow being the symbol of gay pride, doesn't mean you have to get negative.

[KosmicKitty]

At least when such information is up front, it’s easier to know what vacation spots to avoid.
