OR[edit]

I e-mailed the company some questions. Will forward what, if anything they send me. DragonFire1024 (Talk to the Dragon) 01:28, 2 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Is this all because of the "put it in me" line? It seems like speculation and/or wishful thinking. The sources are all YouTube, blogs and the Ken Hoffman editorial. You better get something concrete that says it was gay-themed, or at least change it to ad was perceived as gay-themed. --SVTCobra 01:52, 2 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
E-mail correspondence with Quiznos sent to scoop. DragonFire1024 (Talk to the Dragon) 20:29, 3 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
RE SVT: I sent the mail to scoop. Asked then straight up if it was gay-themed. I suppose I could change it to controversial. Though they do state that the goal of their commercials are to appeal to a 'diverse' audience. Some of the ads are edgy and provocative, but they're well within the confines of the Quiznos brand character. Also: we tailor our commercials to be relevant and appeal to our diverse customers - all of whom are watching different kinds of programming. - DragonFire1024 (Talk to the Dragon) 20:31, 3 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I've read DragonFire's OR on scoop and confirm that it is as he describes. --Killing Vector (talk) 23:00, 3 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Change of wording in first paragraph ?[edit]

I really don't like the "some argue" (it has gay theme, whatever), in the first paragraph - I'm unsure though whether changing it to eg "Bob Sassone, a writer for TVSquad.com argues" is not such a substantive change as to be inapropriate this late after publishing - Comments ? P.S. While I really appreciate that reviewing articles is no mean task, a quick "publish" to the comment is well worth the effort it saves later contributors I would think.

Minor change[edit]

{{editprotected}}

For the last two sources, I believe that {{video}} should be added. --The New Mikemoral ♪♫ 20:30, 17 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
