Unfortunately this commercial was pulled because they thought it was too homophobic, but it is hilarious IMO:

here's the best comment i have seen on the 'controversy':

someoneelse wrote:

Homophobic? These people need to get a clue. There's a difference between "effeminate" and "gay." The speed walker's waddle is exaggerated, and he's got short-shorts...they're making light of the amusing (and effeminate) quirks of the sport...but he's not making love to, holding hands with, or so much as looking wistfully at other men. There is absolutely nothing "gay" stated or implied.

i thought homos would actually embrace these ads, given the tag line snickers uses: get some nuts!

it is a mildly funny ad. he's got another one with a soccer player faking an injury (the one moose mentions above). surprisingly, the soccer players are not up in arms. yet.
