Commercial Closet’s Nancy-Friendly Nominees
Commercial Closet – the non-profit “non-watchdog” group dedicated to celebrating and chastising pro and anti-gay ads, respectively – has announced their nominees for the 2007 Images in Advertising Awards.
Among the nominees, concerned consumers will find ads from, yes, Dolce & Gabbana, Marc Jacobs’ bear-y friendly bear hug adverts, and the always gay friendly.
Meanwhile, Holiday Inn, NBC Universal and Sony Playstation have all been nominated for the dreaded “clean-up your act warning” – um – award.
so in looking at this — the commercials that are kind of funny and show some imagination get zapped, while the boring stupid obvious ones get praised…who the hell are these watchdogs and why do they want the world to be so freaking stale and dull?
