How is that homophobic? You sterotyping by saying that if a man dresses in pink and looks like the man above he is homosexual. The point of the commercial was not about homosexuals;rather, you yourselves have shown how sterotypes are applied.
I’m surprised that some of you say this ad isn’t homophobic. If VISA isn’t mocking gayness, what are they mocking? Certainly not wealth or tennis ability. Plus they set him up as a contrast to all the “manly men” football players.
… i hope this makes it to digg’s frontpage so that everyone can see what a FUCKING IDIOT BOO-HOO CRY BABY BITCH you are - “oo oo, they’re making fun of gay people, quick, let’s rally the interweb and punish the evil visa corporation” - it’s some light sport - they’re not exactly portarying the gay community as a whoring mob of child molesting sodomites, marauding the streets for fresh ass to violate … in fact, i reckon most gay people would find this kind of funny, not to mention it could be viewed as poking fun at metrosexuals - unmanly does not equal gay … idiot …
wow, we have a lot of angry people around here. Chill out people and let’s have fun.
What really amazes me about human beings is that not matter what we are always trying to show that we are better than someone else. Why is that? Why is this need for being “better” than someone else? I don’t get it… oh well…
wow you people are ridiculous, I wear that kinda stuff and I’m straight. What the hell is the matter with you people? Its an anti-cash commercial, and you seem to think wearing bright colors is indicative of being gay. This is exactly the kind of stereotype you should be fighting against! What is wrong with you???

Whats the big deal, it’s a commercial for the saints?
November 8th, 2007 at 9:57 pm
Um. So I’ll buy that this commercial is homophobic if, in return, I can safely assume that all pink shirted tennis players are gay. Is that cool?

The connection to homophobia is precarious at best. It was that he tried to pay with cash.
And Driving blog and eyeball traffic based on this just gave the aforementioned company more free advertising.
