“Hot Lesbian” Ad Gets Canadian Oil Sands More Publicity Than It Deserves

n possibly one of the biggest marketing blunders of the millennium, a Canadian Oil Sands group has managed to alienate groups from almost every walk of life with their recent Facebook meme that prompted people to choose Canadian oil over Saudi oil—because, as the meme read, “In Canada, lesbians are considered hot! In Saudi Arabia, if you’re a lesbian, you die!”

The ad went on to query, “Why are we getting our oil from countries that don’t think lesbians are hot?”

You might be thinking that the Coke/New Coke marketing blunder was bad, but the hot-lesbian ad, particularly in today’s politically correct day and age, is sure to bump some of the worst marketing blunders off their top spot.

You think that is the norm? Or the exception to the norm?

Clearly it’s the exception that proves the rule.

LOL. I once dated a hunky guy who’d had a series of lesbian roommates.
The experience led him to conclude that there’s really no such thing as a lesbian. Every one of them ended up crawling into his bed when their lezzie girlfriends weren’t watching.
He said they always started out insisting that a male roomie was just for safety and security, to protect them from rapists.
You know, kind of like a good guy with a gun, to protect them from all the other bad guys with...uh...guns.

I don't know. I would like to know though, as all these women were friends of mine.

And I'm far away now.

Hot lesbian:

But, yeah, on the whole they're not really.
