Thanks for the homophobia, Guinness.

LOL happy st patricks day yall! too funny!

I didn't like the commercial, not because it's homophobic, but because it doesn't reach out to my demographic, but with that said, if you are trying to find the 'gay bashing' in this commercial, perhaps you should play it again... and then again. It touches on the subject that men as a whole have difficulty with intimacy, and that would be ANY male, gay, bi or straight. I think we're trying to find something to fight for... let's fight for LGBT rights to marry & toast w/ a Guinness when we win!

Great Ad!!!!

[kmanfitz]

I'm gay and I didn't find this offensive at all. Not even one bit. It isn't homophobic at all. It's poking fun at how it's difficult for most men to display emotion to each other. It has nothing to do with homosexuals at all. I'd be willing to bet that none of you idiots complaining are gay. Fuck off and drink some god damn Guinness.

@kmanfitz

Yeah just because you're gay and don't think something's homophobic doesn't mean it isn't. How is this not homophobic? Oh no! How do we hug without letting our pelvises touch? Because that would be gaaayyyy....which is BAD! We wouldn't wanna look GAY because being gay means you're not a real man!! (see: "man-hug").

Yes some men have trouble displaying emotion and physical affection...because they're afraid of appearing gay or too feminine (so add some sexism in there too).

[kmanfitz]

@myfeetlitup 1. Would you want your pelvises to touch if you're just giving somebody a hug? I wouldn't.

2. Even very openly gay men have trouble displaying emotion, not because they're afraid of appearing feminine, but because it's simply not inherently easy for men to do this. Look through the rest of these comments. I'm not the only gay person here who thinks this.

3. I've got 21 thumbs up. Let's see how many you get.

[myfeetlitup]

@kmanfitz

Sigh.

1. There's a difference between intentional pelvis touching and accidentally bumping hips.

2. Lots of people have trouble displaying emotion; it's not something inherent to only males. I think it goes a little deeper than being unsure of what angle at which to hug someone; if that were a case, why is there no instructional video for how to hug a woman? Let's not be disingenuous here.

3. Just because something's popular doesn't mean it's right. Homophobia, for example :)

[fhofho00]

@myfeetlitup Apparently Wipeout Homophobia On Facebook page thinks this is not homophobic. I think it is, but it is just an opinion isn't it? :)

[SurfistaCopa]

They are doing EVERYTHING they can to ridicule and stigmatize male homosexuality!!!

[markjohnsonpirate]

how is this homophobic? the crotch thing is funny and doesn't have anything to do with homophobia--it's about public vs private displays of affection and space

those who are quick to judge are probably latent homosexuals themselves, clinging to faux morals in the age of political correctness

funny's funny---and this, coming from a homosexual commenter

[immaculateboy]

I'll make a point of it never to drink Guinness beer. mindless, homophobic and frankly a waste of 33 seconds this ad was.

[entoris]

Cause god forbid someone might suspect there is the slightest chance of one guy having an interest in another bloke in any even remotely sexual manner. Such homophobia is very 20th century.....grow up Guiness.

[300ZedEx]

@entoris How I miss the 20th century.

[MitchKadenz]

not cool. good thing I don't purchase guinness.

[rozz01]

Dude... Really?....

[theJaston9]

this is incredibly homophobic

[G1980As]

well-done send up of 'look around you'. glad to see guinness get back to this kind of weird humor, frankly....

[j03h3d1ng3r]

look around you guinness

[hickmanj88]
