Shannon Larratt is Zentastic

You know, while I totally agree with the sentiment in the left ad (both in terms of vibrating razors working well, and in terms of the sexual allusion), and I have no problem with ultracock, these sure are dirty ads for mainstream companies to put out:

That said, I don't think though that these ads are being used in the “straight” market — these are from this year's increasingly corporate Toronto Gay Pride. Now, there are a lot of companies that have different ads in different markets, and I understand how that makes sense, but it really annoys me when corporations or political groups think they can get away with stuff like this:

…a far more evil version of being nice to someone's face, but then slagging them behind their backs.

The belief that spending a few bucks on advertising somehow makes up for being part of a political party that has gone out of its way to restrict, hold back, and even threaten to roll back gay rights, is delusional. Same goes for companies that donate to these parties or have discriminatory internal practises, but I hope it's a long shot assuming they they can trick the queer community into giving them a stamp of approval just because they hire some ad agency to make them look queer-friendly.

I really hope that people haven't become so clueless that billboards speak more loudly than action.
