Last night I saw a TGI Fridays ad featuring a steamy sapphic gay male sex kiss, and I knew that today I had to share it with you guys - my best friends - because just wow. The two obvious gay porn stars can't suppress their lust for one another's tonsils and practically maul each other to death right there in the middle of a restaurant. This is gay porn people!
Ugh so much semen everywhere. Well. After finding the commercial on YouTube I was genuinely shocked to see that this gay kiss had created an uproar in the conservative YouTube community. Somehow not only did people not miss the .000003 second gay kiss (which for the record immediately follows a straight kiss), it also stood for something blasphemously unAmerican enough to leave chain hamburger restaurant enthusiasts outraged. You guys will truly not believe the comments being left on this video:
Dan likes to watch! I frankly thought the commercial represented such a dorky marketing attempt at wooing woke millennials to dine at TGI Fridays, and if there was going to be any point to the post I wrote about it today, it was going to be to poke fun at TGI Fridays. But YouTubers done kicked dis bitch up to a ten. Here's what the CEO of TGI Fridays had to say when the People of All Stripes campaign launched mid-November:
Our key message is that TGI Fridays welcomes everyone with open arms no matter where they come from, what they look like, how they’re dressed, where they stand on the issues, or who they choose to love … We celebrate all the people, from all different walks of life, who come together to make TGI Fridays such a unique and special place.
So to answer Eric Ortman's question above - Mmmmm why is there 2 guys kissing? Because TGI Fridays is trying to increase revenue by broadening its consumer base. Why is I now feel obligated to support TGI Fridays? Because you YouTube commenters are fucking crazyyyyyyyyyy.
