Paradise Bay Ad on Fan 960

[GKDarts]

So, a couple of nights ago I'm driving home from work around 5:50 PM and am semi-listening to the Fan 960 when an ad for Paradise Bay Hot Tubs (or something like that) comes on. The ad is going along Ok when suddenly, I swear I hear them say something about "a gay little ball." Well, I figure that with my mind preoccupied with work I probably just imagined it. Turns out I didn't...it was on again last night about the same time! Has anyone else heard this ad?

I'm the last person to be overly PC but, I couldn't believe that they would air an ad with that line in it .... If not Politically incorrect, its at least in poor taste and juvenile, no?

Thoughts?

gay - happy
little - little
ball - party...
(I know you know this, just being a dork) edit*

lol, I see what you mean, but it doesn't do all that much for me, I I was laughing under my breath yesterday in class about "homo-economics"

Has anyone seen the billboard on Glenmore and Center St. (just East of Macleod) from the Garbage Guys?

"Do you need a good Dump?"

Hilarious!! We all need a good dump every now and again.

I heard that spot too. I am very surprised that it is on the air. After a few complaints it won't be.

The Fan960's sponsors include a porn shop and a casino. Adult Source Video, has spots on the "Paris Hilton" video. Classy. Reminds me of John Candy on SCTV - the porn shop owner with "a snake on his face".

Also, Frank Sissons Silver Dollar Action Center, for "family fun". And great musical acts like Gary US Bonds and "Victor and Friends".

If one were truly "politically correct" wouldn't their mind be open to the fact that "a gay little ball" meant happy party rather then some sort of homosexual erotic get-together. Instead of automatically assuming everything reads or portrays the negative, or not even negative, but inappropriate topic?

When you hear the context of it it's pretty obvious what he means. The whole commercial is dumb and hardly falttering to the client.

BTW did you get that PM wookie?

Ahh apparently there is a PM, I never look since I rarely get them "how exciting"

OH, I've never heard the commercial, i was just sort of bantering because I'm in the process of wasting my day at home. Doing jack-all. I have no idea why, just can't seem to do anything today other then hit refresh..
