Kudos to the creator(s)for coming up with a sophisticated and thought provoking way to sell tightie whities. Too bad the decision makers(read pussies)at Hanes not only canned it, but also felt compelled to apologize. Do they think gay men are so fucking PC, humorless, uptight, and/or dense to miss the point of the ad? I can't help it, but I see some irony in this. Not yet sure why, but I do.

I do not feel that "faggot" here was used in a hateful way. It is a moniker in a collage of the various exciting and challenging, sometime difficult, and beautiful things about being sexually different. I love how the "normal" looking person is dragging this beast of history and identity behind him. Its just a beautiful statement. I wish they would put this ad into the public sphere, but alas, i doubt we're ready for that.... I also found this ad to be a rather deep and beautiful, more like a piece of art.

There is nothing wrong with the ads. What’s lame is that they apologized at all. There is nothing wrong with the ads.

I'm sorry it offended people who didn't read deeper. It was a really smart, challenging ad. I’m sorry it offended people who didn’t read deeper.
