I saw that Wanda Sykes PSA

[npmommie]

about not using the word gay for something
it was good commercial

I haven't seen it! Can you tell me more about it?

 

[MemoToMe]

I love that ad, too. We see it on Logo periodically.

Here's a link to it on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWS0GVOQPs0

The setting looks like a diner type restaurant, there is a booth of teenage boys goofing around talking, and wanda is in the booth behind them her back to them,
they are saying things like "thats so gay" and laughing

she gets up and comes around to their table, and i forget exactly what she says but its about how its wrong to use the word gay to describe something you don't like or think is stupid,
she picks up the pepper shaker and says its like her describing something she doesn't like such as the pepper as " that is so like a teenage boy with zits on his face"


I am probably getting the words all wrong, and its definitely better the way she said it because she is funny no matter what she is doing!
but thats the gist of it,

the first time i saw this I just about bust a gut laughing. I love Wanda Sykes. So glad she finally came out. That being said, lord knows when/if they'll ever be able to get people to stop saying "that's so gay", I have gay friends that say it too. Oh wells.

I hate that phrase. I love the Ad! Wanda did good.

 

[MsLeFever]

My husband loves that ad - the downside? Now he's always refering to things as "16 year old boy with a cheesy moustache"!

Thanks for the link - I love Wanda! Saw her perform live - nearly laughed to death

My nieces drive me nuts with that...."That's so Gay!"
