Ad from Argentina

Mar 09, 2009 12:44

This ad is apparently a couple of years old, but is making the rounds on various GLBT blogs.

Why don't any US companies ever make ads like this? This would make ME want to use this bank!

Wow! You're right I would be thinking about changing to a bank with an open mind. This is a beautiful spot. Thank you for sharing.

glad you enjoyed it. Seems like the only time gays show up in ads in the US is when they're being ridiculed, like that stupid candy bar ad at last year's superbowl.

I'm in an admittedly sentimental mood tonight, but yes! Well done that bank... *g*

hey there - at least the UK has had some gay friendly ads - we don't get much of that here in the USofA.

Aww, I HATE when you make me cry while I'm at work! That is a lovely spot and yes, why don't we have more ads--ANY ads--like that? Thanks for sharing that one, Cat. I find that the most liberal, open minds are among the very young and the very old.

Along with boycotting Limbaugh on her Senior Care bus, mom has been enlightening her group about homosexuality and that they should all be in favor of gay marriage. I'll be the only mom getting notes sent home about her mother, lol!

Wow...that really is a great ad.

Love such ads...and companies that are open-minded and talk about it.

it is a nice ad, isn't it? a great message. Do you have any gay friendly ads airing in Deutchland?

Hey, Cat....I think many a business are losing out on new clients. The Gay agenda as some of my gay friends call it, could be big business. It matters to me. It matters to them. I certainly would be more supportive of more progressively thinking companies.

I've been meaning to get back to you....sorry
Psssst....We are doing ok. Trying to laugh our way through it and hope for the best outcomes

Hope you are well, too.

Glad to hear things are OK with you and your family. That was a real scare you had there.

Love that icon (although it makes me think of Halloween).

Check out mine - this is CJ the Wondercat on vacation with us at Christmas. Isn't he gorgeous?
