Thank u. You flip off "The Man" with one hand and jack him off with the other. How cool is that? Case in point- this commercial. It's cheap. But it works. Plain and simple. You see, this vendor chose the cheap and easy way to get people talking about it. And what are we doing? Talking about it, that's what! That's what controversy does- attract attention. The real controversy here is not the same-sex kissing, but rather, the fact that it warrants so much attention. Hey, how 'bout that Alvin and the Chipmunks movie, huh? A grown man who lives with 3 teenage boys in fur coats not related to him. Now that's gay! Dear friends (and by “dear” I mean queer). Thank u.

They used to make lesbianism hot too... wish they'd get on that again. Or maybe they have... I don't buy fashion magazines anymore, the American ones suck, the others are too expensive.

However, the commission that regulates media in France said that they had reviewed it and felt that it was not offensive because it wasn't overtly sexual, and the commercial continued to air.
