Of what possible importance?

[Pharmboy]

The first time I saw it...nothing. The second time, however, they looked most defintely gay.

[MrB]

ok, that was over the top...

[svcw]

Who cares?

Forget all that, what about Flo?

‘Gaydar’ did have a slight reading.....tho not an obvious one. The guys were rather effeminate.

“There are even homosexuals who claim to be conservatives.”

Homosexuals want to turn every organization their involved with into a dating service.

If there are homosexuals in the conservative movement they are only in it for the purpose of flipping it.

Even more than the two guys in the Sonic ads?

See post 32. As most Sonics tend to be in red states, somehow I don't think the cain is going to go out of their way to alienate 98% of the audience in the hop of attracting the other 2% even more.

At the very least, both are metros.

Are they or aren't they? There's been chatter on the Web, and in YouTube comments, about whether the two guys in this Progressive commercial are supposed to be a couple.

Wouldn't be surprised.Progressive is a notorious RAT contributor.

Oh, gawd. I’ll take a look.

Hey the GEICO lizard is obviously gay! what straight lizard would appear in public with a lime green suit.

Gay is not the issue for me.

For me the issue is the name and philosophy of the company. Why do you think the name is “Progressive” and what does it mean?

It means “liberal” or socialist and how much money does the company funnel to socialist and hard left causes?

Just like Hollywood gives your hard earned money to lousy leftists who hate America, so does Progressive Insurance.

Find somebody else to insure your car and house. Avoid your own suicide.

Why would a guy bring another guy with him to buy insurance?

Irish, Gerald Fitzpatrick and Patrick Fitzgerald.

Hey the GEICO lizard is obviously gay!

And he's a Brit....oh, same difference.

Who cares about the guys - the chick is “HOT”.
