I think it's funny and though I can see how some may be offended, the point here is people take things way too seriously. Yes, maybe this commercial shows homophobia, but in reality there are a lot of things that heterosexuals do that aren’t favored by homosexuals and vice versa. We’ve all seen ads where the heterosexual is the butt of the joke but you don’t see people up in arms over it. You see comedy coming from both ends in advertisements these days and I don’t think it’s fair to pick one ad out of the mass to claim that media bashes all homosexuals.

I guess a poor product will only provide us with a poor commercial. What can we really expect when the product is a handheld flashy light thingy? The ad execs were probably reaching into the bottom of the barrel for this one.

What Don from Ontario said, I agree whole heartedly!

This is clearly a cartoony production to make up for any potential pain. The cast is all cartoon types (that's probably a captain or officer, NOT a sailor). There's no violence, only a hint, but the kid's too quick to get hurt. The beard is styled to be rather delicious and hints at rough trade. How about offering a "mixed feelings" button for voting?
