Well, I'll tell ya, that's a very specific, eight-inch plus demographic they're trying to reach. And I admire their precision tactics.

Dude 1: ...and it was a very wet, slippery motherfucker, too!!
Dude 2: Yeah, I'll bet.

the only thing interesting about these is the novelty of them being gay ads. the ideas themselves are pretty lame.

Yeah I think promoting homosexuality is against laws of nature. Fundementally its wrong. That's just my opinion though obviously. Freedom of speach and all that.
In all seriousness if they were done like these: http://www.collegehumor.com/picture:3326 I reackon they'd be socially passable. At the mo there's too many homosexual antics going on. 'Gay is the new Straight'. More woman for meeeeeee

I remember seeing those ads. They're pretty good, and much more fun than these ones.

I'm not sure that these are promoting homosexuality (it's not a product), more advertising a "gay friendly" holiday destination.

With the amount of folk who still think it's an "abomination", they probably welcome a few days without having to hear that kind of thing.

Doin' it for the points

Would work better as a two-page ad, I don't like how oddly Key West is cut off.

Jet Propulsion Lab's picture 10602 pencils

But then, MAYBE that's part of the idea. The fact that it's so cut off from the rest of the continental U.S., that they need this kind of advertising to lure more visitors to the archipelago.

cheza's picture 100 pencils

Okay... That's not what I'm entailing, but sure.

krautland's picture 2465 pencils

hahaha, those guys are SO talking about wangs.
I love this ad. finally someone embracing campiness.

phoamcor's picture 1183 pencils

Art direction is not the greatest, but the idea? HA! HA! I give it 2 HA! HA!'s.

cullers's picture 334 pencils

hahaha. Very on target for the key west demographic. Looks like the boy in the gray shorts doesn't know how to handle his pole though.
