First, if the Mods think this ought to be in CS, please move it - I debated and decided that it’s more about the opinions than the commercial itself, but what do I know?
On to the topic: Has anyone else seen the Chivas commercial that shows three guys fishing among ice floes? Pretty scenery, pretty music that sounds kind of love-songish (“we can be together…”) three guys drinking Chivas and laughing. I don’t watch a lot of TV, but I’ve seen this commercial because it often airs during Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, which I DO watch. Which leads me to wonder whether anyone else thinks this commercial is a subtle (or maybe not-so-subtle) acknowledgement of gays.
Maybe I’m reading too much into it, but I really like this commercial because I think it’s quietly romantic and sweet without being “in your face.” And I do have to wonder if the fact that it’s THREE guys rather than just two is a deliberate loophole for Chivas - so maybe they could say, “No, of course it’s not gay,” if they were to get bawled out by someone with an anti-gay agenda.
What do you all think?
