Have any of you seen the new Holiday Lexus commercial's? (VANITY)

I have seen the ads yesterday and now today! One is two gay men and the other is two lesbian women. This is a car ad folks and it is nothing more than a car for for gays and lesbians! I'm totally disgusted and goin to tell Lexus I will not ever buy any of their products!

Disgusting!

[tje]

I think you read to much into the ads. I've seen them and I don't draw your conclusions.

[xcamel]

funny... I've always called that brand a "sexless"

[nwrep]

You have any links? I agree though, all car manufacturers are trying to foolishly target gays and lesbians under the mistaken assumption that they are rich, when in fact, they are usually struggling artists or waiters or municipal workers.

I think I know the ad you are talking about. I dont think they are gay characters

Thanks for the info. Now please join me in a boycott of Lexus this Holiday Christmas Season.

Are you dense?

It seemed very apparent to me that the people in the ads were neighbors unsure of which spouse gave them the car as a present.

The two guys walk out of two separate houses and neither of them knows whether or not his wife bought him the car. (It's the same thing for the two women.)

[trumandogz]

If you promise not to buy a Lexus, I will not buy one either.

I saw the one with the two guys and I turned to wife and asked her if it was a queer ad. She said yes.

I mean, c'mon. It's one guy buying a car for another guy...who's going to clean out the garage.

How gay.

[Halls]

did you see the one with the women? The one woman is looking the other up and down! I don't see how you couldn't have gotten that when Lexus has come out saying they would have gay and lesbian ads to appeal to their gay buyers. This just proves it!

[mware]

I dont know about that commerical but I'm not going to buy a chevy truck after seeing that commerical "This is Our Country"

They ran the hippy one in our area, the video of the fires, katrina, protesting, etc.

[spectre]

I'm not a lesbian and my husbands not gay :(

What to do, what to do...??

Maybe your "gaydar" needs to be adjusted?

[LdSentinal]

You've got to be kidding me. Seriously, is this a joke?

[sinclair]

funny isn't it?

[SunTzuWu]

It seemed very apparent to me that the people in the ads were neighbors unsure of which spouse gave them the car as a present.

That's the same impression I got when I saw it.

>>>...Lexus has come out saying they would have gay and lesbian ads to appeal to their gay buyers. This just proves it!

Somehow, I doubt that a media buyer would place ads targeted to a gay audience during an NFL game. Crikey. Sometimes, a cigar is just a cigar.

[xcamel]

maybe not...

no I'm not dense and there is no reason to put me down. The ad may appear to be about one thing but is totally obvious another. My hubby has watched both commericals and agrees with me. Just because you disagree about the content of the commerical doesn't mean you should be calling me dense. So rude!
