Bud tells Gays OK to be Gay.
Chad: Just be yourself, man.Ricky: What, you mean Gay?
Chad: Well yeah, we’re in a Gay ad in a Gay magazine.
Ricky: Oh. OK. But, can we move away from this big honking sweaty phallic symbol?
Chad: Apparently not. Nice tat, though.
Ricky: Thanks.

Is that Nick Carter in the backgroud? Big ups to him for coming out!
The guy in the foreground is not gay. He's from Jersey.
The guy in the background think that this is his lucky night -- he peers around the sweaty phallic beer bottle at his destiny.
Jersey guy doesn't even see his lovestruck admirer. He has a perplexed look on his face that says, "Hey, where the white women at?"
He's in the wrong bar. No gay guy would be caught dead in that shirt.
And if you can't be yourself. drink some liquid courage.
slinky redfoot is my kinda' guy... wrouf
Ranter, just aimlessly perusing Metro Source magazine like usual? Had some free time and decided to chilly chill with a crazy gay mag in hand? Not that there's anything wrong with that.
If you've got a sec, let me know how much for a year's subscription.

Chad: Did you tear those sleeves yourself?
Ricky: Yeah... it was a hell of a work out.
Chad: Looks like it. Good thing you're chilling your balls with an icy Bud

Chad: “It’s ok to post at copyranter.“
Ricky: “It doesn't make me gay?“
Chad: “No. The pink shirt you're wearing with the little silos of guys in a circle jerk does.“
Ricky: “Cool. Wanna dance?”
what are you doing reading gay magazines anyway?
Oh, that ad's been around for a while in Instinct and other gay mags. (You should see some of the other ads! I'd scan some for you, but I don't have a scanner.) And Bud Light's been targeting the gay demographic for even longer; they sponsor lots of Prides and stuff, I believe. When you've got the Coors family giving money to anti-gay groups, and you're their main competitor, why not run with it? Plus, we all know us gays look after our figures (well, *I* don't, but then I haven't had a date in two years), so we're natural "prey" for a light beer.
BTW, I'd never noticed the phallicity of the beer bottle. What would I do without you, ranter?
I sort of miss the days when we weren't a "demographic." But now we're being pursued by cologne makers, malt liquor brewers, and the garment district to the point that a subset of straight men have taken to outdoing us (and I wouldn't have imagined that possible).
So I feel a bit out of place in this strange new world, and I probably won't get up to speed until someone launches a remedial effort of some sort...
"Metro Eye for the Queer Guy," anyone?
It's not exactly the most subtle ad I have ever seen.
Like you are soooo 1990.
