I’ve seen the ad - my “gay” antennae didn’t go up at all.
I just figure it’s two guy friends and one drives a hard bargain.... or likes the watch!
I vote no due to lack of evidence.
Who cares and why?
I think they’re supposed to represent two buddies hanging out, but “gay couple” was my first thought when I saw the commercial. Maybe Progressive meant for it to be ambiguous.
Were their names Ace and Gary???
Knowing the company was founded by a flaming Liberal, I would go with Yes!
There was a return on the gaydar.

It’s certainly not as blatant as Quizno’s ‘Tasty Torpedo’ ad.
I don’t know if they are gay, but they certainly are queer.
What kind of couple (hetero or homo) sell each other things? I thought it looked a little strange at first, but decided it wasn’t what if first appeared because he sold the watch, he didn’t give him the watch as a gift. And apparently I have thought way too much about this.
‘Gaydar’ did have a slight reading.....tho not an obvious one. The guys were rather effeminate.
Of course they’re homosexuals. I am sure this ad is part of the conspiracy to turn America into a homosexual nation. They are all around us, in our schools, in business, in government. There are even homosexuals who claim to be conservatives. Of course, we know that is impossible.
Ridiculus. Must be a reeeeally slow day at slate.com.
Well *that* makes me want to *go straight* to Geico...
Forget all that, what about Flo? I like the ads and she’s more than a little quirky.
“Money a BIT tight?”
That’s so Gay!
Actually we aren’t supposed to say “that’s so Gay” any more because Gays are offended when you say “That so Gay” for anything that screams out in a shrill lisp GGGGGGAAAAAAAAAYYYYYY!
I heard that on the radio today, guess what the announcer was several ocive higher than the Vienna Boys Choir!
They are gay and so is Flo. In another commercial she asked a guy to guess what she was thinking about, and he responded “tacos”.
Totally gay.
I turn down the volume and re-voice the commercial, with the guy explaining that he pulled the watch out of the other guy’s butt.
I dunno. My midtown Starbucks was promoting the sountrack from Brokeback Mountain this afternoon. I find the timing suspicious.
I kinda think Flo has long outlasted her usefulness. Not to mention, she’s probably close to being out of lipstick.
The one that barfs me is like a Best Buy?? commercial. Some guy wants a PC and his wife wants a Mac, and the commercial is narrated by this young guy with glasses and short hair... he’s about the queerest thing I’ve seen since “West Side Story”.
Man, too much estrogen from BC pills has seeped in to the water supply or sumthin... We’re freakin doomed!!!
