It's funny but why isn't the LGBT community screaming?

You would have to be hard core hate to find that anything but funny.

I would imagine gay people would find it offensive.

The LGBT community probably gives this about as much thought as a heterosexual rape commercial

That's to say 'Meh, that's not me - who cares?'

I don't understand why you think a gay person would be offended. In what way to you see anything negative about gays?

Fist even you aren't that dense. Here's the message:

"If you don't call us for a bail bond you could end up in prison with a homosexual."

How about you tell me what's NOT negative about that message?

Maybe instead of getting worked up and angry the homosexuals are planning how to be put in jail.

Now that was in poor taste.

Doubtful. Rape isn't sex - and, while I can't quite put my finger on it, there's something about prison men that is a huge turn off...


Btw, this thread had me mistaking the main dude for a lesbian part way through, while I was trying to figure out why I should be outraged.

After reading through the thread and watching the vid again, I suppose it is mildly offensive actually. Not really high up on my list though.

I don't take myself or that commercial serious enough to be offended by it.

I laughed, so what?

PS: I am however offended by the bagders age and fatness

Probably because 99% of the population hasn't seen it.

But i'm not surprised this thread got Fisted.

So what it should have said was "if you don't call us for a bail bond you could end up in prison with a straight guy." ?


/outrage! angry

Well I stand corrected. It's obvious from all of your responses that this is not offensive to the gay community.

A lot of same-sex prison rapes are committed by guys who wouldn't consider themselves gay. It's just about what is available.

I figure I'd last about three weeks in jail before I'd go gay. I think that's pretty heterosexual.
