Do you like the Gay Fido ad?

Personally I don't like it.
Why disgust the rest of us to catch the attention of less than 2% of the population?

i voted yes, hahaha, not gay though. i think its original

A market that isnt being pursued by the other companies ... why not go after it? and make money from the potential customers? There's nothing wrong with homosexuals (and I'm not gay but I do respect people) or companies adverstising and pursuing them in their campaigns ... or am I alone in thinking this way?

I feel that people can do whatever they want in their homes.
I don't discriminate against them. They are humans and their sexual choice is not their choice.

It is just that I personally don't like seeing it.

I miss the Fido ads featuring the TV President of Fido....

Oh, and who could forget the hilarious #DJ and the CityFido ads hahaha!

ahaha ohhh yeah ... regretably only from fido .... *sigh*

I like the ad. But I do miss that old guy who said "regrettably, only from Fido".

Good ad. People who don't like it can always go for Bell's gay beavers...

I do miss the Fido president too. My favourite ads from that era were the recyling of the home phones (city fido), and the free day commercial.

I bet Teddy just got jealous because *he* was not portrayed as the President.

As per your 2%, there are 132 503 405 gay people in this world, 640 000 of them in Canada. You would not be happy to know how many bisexuals there are out there either.

But don't worry, you probably disgust them too :D

Free day is excellent, and much more sustainable. They should also let you pick free hours, like 2-4 hours/day (depending on when you pick) where you get free calling. That would spread out the calling everywhere instead of having network congestion from 5PM-11PM.

A lot of the stuff I have read suggests that approx 1 in 10 people (10%) identify as being lesbian or gay. If you start counting people who identify as bi, the numbers may be closer to 2 in 10. You're making a huge assumption that people who are straight are "disgusted" by same sex couples. I have often wondered why so called "couple" plans always show heterosexual couples and ignore the fact that there are lots of same sex couples out there.

What I am uncomfortable with is that same sex couples are often a "punchline" in mainstream media. Otherwise I do like the advertisement

I don't really care about the ad about the guy being gay but I don't like Fido's image in general. Rogers seems to go after the business/professional crowd but Fido's image if very childish and fruity in general. This normally doesn't matter, but when you see a _____@rogers.blackberry.com you picture a professional businessman and when you see _____@fido.blackberry.com you think of some trendy slut who's goal in life is to pick up as many guys as possible at a club. But maybe that's just me...

I think it's perfect.

XXXXXX@rogers.blackberry.com picks up XXXXXX@fido.blackberry.com and takes her home.


:lol:

Oh wait a sec...*I* am a XXXXXX@fido.blackberry.com. :(


Well what about XXXXXX@fidohiptop.ca ??
