A new advertisement for the gay social networking site Manhunt was recently put on up a billboard in Los Angeles. Within a week, it had rocked the boat.
A local mom, Kelly Cole, says she doesn't want her kids seeing such images of “blatant porniness” and she said that it is regardless of whether such material is of the “homo- or heterosexual” variety.
Manhunt's CEO Jason Harvey thinks that Cole’s statement is untrue, responding "gay sexuality is still scary and controversial for many people.”
It is also interesting to me that I have not read anything about Michael Kors' new L.A. ads, and the Beckham’s Armani shoot was far from “offensive”.
Overall, the advertisement works for Manhunt. And that’s the bottom line.
