Chemistry.com ad seen on "Heroes" the other night.

Funny and effective.

1. I saw it

What a great ad. I forgot that I was watching Heroes for a minute and thought I was tuned to LOGO. It was a very pleasant surprise.

2. Welcome to DU

:hi:

14. Hi!

Welcome to DU! :hi:

3. Excellent!

Nice backhand slap at eHarmony, too, which is always a good thing in my book.

[Zuiderelle]

4. Cool, I missed that.

Thanks for the link. Great ad.

[TechBear_Seattle]

5. Please recommend

I think this should go onto the "Recommended" page. It underscores the discrimination that gay people still face; recommending will help get this clip to a wider audience.

7. done

:-)

8. Wow, that was fast! Thanks, everyone

:hi:

[Beausoir]

6. Excellent.

[MuseRider]

9. Oooh good catch!

I like this. Thanks underpants. K&R

10. You are welcome

:hi:

11. My wife and I laughed our asses off on that one

Good on 'em.

[underpants]

12. I did too

I had no idea where this was going and then the punchline.

:rofl:

I didn't ,nor need to, know that dating service on-line things didn't cater to gays as well. :shrug: They can't write a program for that???

[MelissaB]

16. They are out there.

:)

[YOY]

17. They could but the pseudo-Christians get their drawers in a wad when they see it

It's all part of their it's an "aberation and not naturual" crapola.

For all I know they may be owned by pseudo-Christians.

[Phoonzang]

18. Sure they could right a program for it

But the creator of the site is a conservative Christian. Nuff said.

Edit: Guess other people beat me to the punch! :)

19. Try finding a site that allows bisexuals

Oh, sure, you can identify as bi on some of them, but you'd better choose which one you "really" like and get off the damn fence. And if you're polyamorous? Fuggedaboutit. You're just a cheater. :eyes:

Lots of subtle ways that non-straights face discrimination that you wouldn't think about unless you were living it. It's changing, but slowly.

ETA: "Try finding a site that allows bisexuals"...including chemistry.com! :banghead:

21. Actually, OKCupid allows for it

Most of my poly family and friends are on that and there is a lot of poly and bi hooking up going on. I'm not really interested in expanding my dating circle any more so I stay away.

[Der Blaue Engel]

24. I'm on that, but I guess I need to take a closer look at it

It seems that it's only letting me seek one gender, but maybe it's just sending me the matches, and only one gender happens to be matching. Maybe I did something wrong. :shrug:

[knitter4democracy]

27. Hubby and I did too.

Good ad. :)

[MissB]

28. I did too.

Most clever commercial I've seen in awhile.

[The Count]

13. Ha!Ha!Ha!

:rofl:

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

15. I thought it was fantastic when I saw it the another night! Here's another cool one!

[Scriptor Ignotus]

22. he wasn't trying hard enough...eom

:silly:

[joshcryer]

25. Hahaha

[Occulus]

23. Ka-BLAM.

Fuck off, rightwingers.

It didn't work for the vast majority of the rest of us, either, so STFU.

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

26. But will he find his sooooooooouuuuuuulmate?

I hate their spots, I hate their service and I really hate their creepy founder. If I was looking, I'd go to chemistry.com. Thanks for posting!

29. Wait a minute. WHAT was "gay"?

The guy's words were, "Nope. Still gay."

That did not necessarily mean him. It could have meant the particular cheesy non-nude, non-porn, girls-in-bikinis-and-sneering, full-of-lifestyle-stuff-you-can-buy men's magazine he was reading, that he discarded.

Frankly, I think magazines like Maxim are "gay."

[theHandpuppet]

30. Ha-ha!! That was too cool.

Good for them.
