    I didn’t think the Heineken one was especially gay…the two guys just wanted the damn beer.
    Unless you mean to say drinking Heineken is gay. Which I could see.

    As the ad execs always like to point out; “GAY PEOPLE
    BUY STUFF TOO!”

    I haven’t seen these ads, but I’ve been more surprised at the acceptance of gay couples on The Amazing Race. Living in a Red State as I do.

    I always knew when I saw guys drinking Heineken that they were playing for that team. It explains so much.

    Ugh, can we put a moratorium on this “red state/blue state” nonsense?
    The truth is, most people in any state are generally accepting of gay couples – it’s only a very vocal minority that’s not.

    Who brought up whether people are accepting of gays or not? The point is now that Heineken is trying to corner the Schmitts Gay market.

    Red/Blue…it’s all ridiculous from this Canuck’s point of view.

    Who knew Schmitts had a gay market? That’s some
    funny stuff right there.

    Now that you mention it, I think Kingdom of heaven had a gay market too.

“The true punk film of the festival.”
~ Romain Blondeau On Claire Denis’ Les Saluds in Les Inrocks

“It’s also defined commercially by the difference between a colorful, Hawaii-set comedy starring George Clooney and a black-and-white, prairie-based old-age odyssey featuring a straggly and unkempt Bruce Dern. All the same, Paramount Vantage should be able to ride accolades for this very fine Cannes competition entry to respectable specialized returns in fall release.”
