these are horrible stereotypes. so, just to sum up people, gay men don't gut fish, play baseball or know anything about cars. so, straight guys, you should just push that point even further and buy the straight jeans. gay men, don't buy the jeans, you'll send out the wrong message.

they´re just trying to use "straight" jeans to make analogies.. I can think of many many others that wouldn´t segregate people. Why go the easiest and nastiest way? not good advertising.

Actually, it's for the promotion of some event in NYC for the gay and lesbian community but you can't tell that because the copy on the bottom is really small.

They aren't homophobic. They're funny.

if that's true, and you aren't winding us up, then yeah, it is funny. one of those local ads that get lost in the shuffle of not knowing what it's about... thanks!
