Think Before You Speak - Cashier

These commercials are stupid and annoying. I have gay friends who don't get offended when I say "that's so gay" or something similar and they even use it themselves. It's like if they were to say "that's so straight" I wouldn't be offended. People get way too butt-hurt over everything these days and they need to understand commercials like this aren't going to encourage people to stop saying it but rather will likely encourage them to use it more.

i must say, that is the best way i have seen it put in a long time. very clever. :)

That's so American! In other countries right now people are telling their kids "Now don't be a jerk... no one wants to be an American" and "Don't hit other kids for no reason, you don't want people to think you're an American do you".

I thought the phrase "thats so gay" died in the '90's but I've been noticing a resugence lately, but I had no I dea it had gotten this prevelent.

Unfortunately, I don't think this commercial is going to accomplish anything but to encourage otherwise absent-minded imbiciles who only ever say "that's so gay" out of habit to start going out of their way to intentionaly say it.

And its a little preachy. It makes me want to say it more and I'm sympethetic.

The meaning of words changes all the time Gay- happy 2 gay homo 3 gay not cool. I also like free speech too.

Take responsibility for your mouth. It isn't a government conspiracy, it's just how things are. My god...

"Your rights end where my feelings begin!"

The word "gay" was around for hundreds of years before a certain group of people decided to hijack it. Now they want to get all offended when it's thrown out in a non-threatening manner? There was a time that segments of society that were different were burned at the stake. YOU knock it off!

You guys are talking about freedom of speech which I can understand.But do you personally want to be rude?Come on have some respect.

i've never met one gay person who got mad when i referred to something shitty as being gay... everybody is too sensitive these days
