Another Freeper-Type Outrage: Quizno's....
http://www.artsjournal.com/outthere/2009/03/does_the_q_in_quiznos_stand_fo.html

There's a video of a new Quizno's commercial that has some soft porn overtones to it, but the Freepers have labeled it as gay propoganda.

It really and truly must be interesting to be a Freeper- they see (GASP!!!) HOMOSEXUAL SEX everywhere!!!!!

1. And I always hated them for their carnivore agenda.
I guess they can't win. :rofl:

2. If wishes were horses,
beggars would ride, or so the old saying goes.

And if freepers could just get laid - by anything, or anyone - they'd calm down and feel ever so much better.

Self-abuse, I think, will only get you so far, and after that, the presence of another, living person in the room when you have sex is a necessity.

Poor things. They're probably imagining what they could do to that warm - oh, yummy! - sub..................

8. I was kind of put to mind of Space Odyssey, too....
And yeah- it's suggestive... But I really have difficulty with seeing a toaster as male or female- regardless of what the voice sounds like. And anybody who DOES see a toaster as masculine or feminine is in dire need of therapy and real, honest-to-goodness SEX. Both, actually....

This coming from a gay man, BTW. Hold on to your hats, Freepers: This commercial did NOT make me want to run out and have unnatural relations with a toaster!!!! zOMG!!11!!

4. There's a ton of steamy...
...heterosexual sexual references and scenes- in countless ads.

Why can't there be some suggestive homosexual scenes too?

What's the big deal?

I think it's kinda cool--because it demonstrates that people are less bigoted. You'd never
seen an ad like this ten years ago.

As a married, hetero woman--I say it's progress!

6. Toaster: Put it in me, Scott.


This is hilarious. I can hardly wait for the pundits to grab this story like a hot salami.

7. People see what they want to see
When you are a devout Catholic, you see Jesus and the Virgin in toast marks and water stains.

When you are True Believer in aliens, every weather balloon and high flying airplane is a government conspiracy working to stifle the truth.

When you are a hate-filled homophobe, every sexual inuendo is proof of the Gay Agenda.

12. It's the only "fast food" I eat
because the greens are not iceberg lettuce.

13. Maybe I'll have to see what they're like....
I generally avoid fast-food salads because they're usually just awful- awful tasting and/or for your health...

As for iceberg lettuce... It's proper place as a salad lettuce is cut into a wedge, with fresh bleu cheese dressing.

:hi:

15. They already changed the commercial
"Put it in me" was changed to "I'm waiting for it" and sexy was changed to passion.

17. I just didn't get a "gay" vibe from it....
Yeah, the voice was male and the Quizno's employee was male but.... I dunno- the concept of man on toaster relations is SO far out in left field that it went past the point of being sexual and into silly territory.

But as a commercial, it was memorable and funny, so technically speaking it was a good commercial.

19. I love that commercial!
I saw it during "Manswers" on Spike, and I just had to record it.

The oven is right, of course. Who wouldn't want Scott to put his tasty torpedo in him?

20. OMFG - that oven needs some estrogen
Poor girl, she a little hoarse - almost sounds like a guy. Of course that foot long sandwich could also be a little horse.

Now just imagine if the oven sounded like scooby doo or Natasha or Boris or Alvin the Chipmunk.
