SEX "I'm here to snake your drain."
Posted by Dan Savage on Tue, Feb 28, 2012 at 9:44 AM
The new Liquid Plumr ad:
Guess what? Religious conservatives aren't happy. "They are attempting to use sex to sell a product to unclog drains," fumes the American Family Association. (Someone alert ad execs: sex can only to be used in ads that actually sell sex.) And you gotta love this: "It may be a coincidence, but the man in produce is standing besides cucumbers with a price sign behind him reading 69 cents." May be a coincidence? You think? (Via JMG.)
