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.
