Um...this is fully (and obviously, I might add!) intended as an ironic twist.

Are you sure you aren't half-Republican? ;-)

[fluidicmethod]

lol this is awesome i can't believe some of you people don't understand SNARK, IRONY, and HUMOR. This gets snark++++ and two kitties!

Some think it's funny, some think it's stupid.

It all comes down to personal opinion these days.

How is this encouraging them to be tolerant?

I don't mean to be a jerk but it seems to me that you guys are laughing at the simple idea of the ad and not thinking about what it actually is saying.

"Make An Effort"? How is swapping partners with someone before the big bad republicans see you "making an effort"?

Instead of everyone saying "I'm gay and I think it's funny" or "you need to get a sense of humor"...tell me why this is a good ad that delivers on any level.

Please.

Then it wouldn't be funny! Pointing out their failings and phobias is what is funny. Encouraging them to be tolerant is a community service message.

Were the toilets at the Minneapolis Airport busy during the Republican convention? Was Larry Craig there?

[LittleMiss007]

lol it is funny. but i'm a bit unsure if these people were alittle serious or not.

i'm sure hoping not cuz theres nothing i would rather do then to make out with another girl infront of the negative republicans :D

[EngineerFromGermany]

rofl, this is funny. I have a lot of gay friends though i'm not gay myself i can relate to that...

[Tulapeiwa]

LOL! That made me giggle disturbingly. I'm gay. My girlfriend and I have to walk more streets than I can count NOT holding hands. You wanna know what? I think this commercial is HILARIOUS! Good one, guys!

[Tulapeiwa]

Someone missed you when they were handing out senses of humor, didn't they? It's a joke and, as a lesbian who has had to be subtle with who she and her partner are seen with, I find this hilarious. So. If you wanna do some good, go talk to people who actually think that gays should be persecuted and stop preaching to the choir.

[apokolips71]

Some of you need to look up IRONY in the dictionary.

There's nothing ironic about this. It's just lame.

[apokolips71]

It's borderline offensive.

I guess we should all pretend to be someone or something we're not to please some old white guys who think they rule the world.

Pretty lame.
