Homophobic? Really?
Ok, i havent seen the Ad myself, but i get a really good idea from the article (Btw nice job on that) so i want to discuss, can this really be considered homophobic or sexist? I honestly think not. As i have said I have not seen this ad for myself (a link to it would be apreciated)but I will put my argument this way, if no men are waiting or bar tending, its sexist. therefore using this logic (the same logic of the people who say this ad is sexist) then unless there was a waiter or bartender of every ethnicity, then i can call the same ad racist. See the issue with this? Advertisers dont want to get actors of every race, sex, or sexuality. Why? first off, it cost more money. Second off, they dont have large amounts of ad space for that many actors. I believe these are the true reasons behind there choice of actors for this ad, not because there sexist,racists, or homophobic.
All this aside i truly do believe that this has happened solely because the world is getting over-sensitive about things.
Thoughts? (also if this is true i guess we can shut down all the hooters out there O.O)
