Title: Kindle has gay commercial
Post by: Irongrip400 on March 03, 2013, 04:26:11 PM
Have you guys seen this? Dude is hitting on a girl, she says "my husband is getting me a drink", and he says "so is mine".  Have TV commercials come to this? Glad I got a nook.

I read ebooks on my Galaxy

One thing I do admire about the Muslims, is that they don't tolerate this "anything goes" attitude that the west has.

They deserve the rights and respect that any other human has.

Gay people don't have kids. You don't see third world countries clamoring allover themselves to improve the rights of gays do you?? Is it a wonder they have such healthy birth rates?

Homosexuality is but one more reason for the declining western birth rates. Along with feminism (women in the work place) and birth control pills so western sluts can whore around with multiple partners and have "freedom". What they don't realize is they've become "cum buckets" and that's it! Sorry to be so crude but isn't it the truth??

Population control is more important than you think.  

Despite what you think, the world's population is growing faster than ever before.

Natural resources are becoming scarce and the worlds food supply is already stretched thin.  

Most people take water or granted, but the worlds supply is decreasing.  

Here's the chairman of Nestle discussing the dwindling water supply.

I know it is growing fast, but not in the West. That was my whole point. Go read what I said. What use will it be if we have massive third world populations?? We need to see a real serious effort to curb their population growth. Perhaps all the gays in the West can be sent there to corrupt them??!!

I'm fine with there being less white people in the world because it makes us more important.  

The biggest threat to the white man isn't the black man, but the Asians.  They're emulating Western culture and have a growing middle class of smart, civilized people.  What made the western world so special, the Asians will be able to duplicate or do better in the future.

Agree but it must not be shoved down the throats, no pun intended, of Muslim countries because they are generally traditional societies and need to become ok with it at their own pace if ever. We in the west like to get on our high horse but it was t long ago we were doing some pretty horrible things and gay marriage isn't even legal here.

Funny how blacks in the USA and other liberal white countries gained political power with small numbers because they were called underrepresented and we needed to make quota so as not to discriminate against them. Then when they are the majority and whites are the minority as in South Africa they call for more blacks in political power to fairly represent their larger population and whites have to step aside because they are just a minority that don't represent the country as a whole.

This is the reality whites will face in countries where they become a minority. They will not be given special rights or privileges as blacks have enjoyed in western countries in the last 50-60 years as a minority.

What you call sticking your head in the sand as positive I call negative. It is a much more positive outlook in life to get your head out of the sand and see the reality of what is going on around you. Homosexuality is an abnormality no matter how many times you tell yourself its not.

That being said I don't believe in discriminating against homosexuals. It does not matter to me if they have equal rights or not.

What I do notice however is this push to make it appear the norm and the downside to that is the lowering of birth rates.

However women in the workplace and birth control have a bigger lowering effect on birth rates.

I have no problem with lower birth rates. Look around you, this planet is overrun with humans and it is killing it and eventually us. There is no downside to lower birth rates other then the world economy is built on an ever increasing population and consumption, I don't view this as a positive circumstance. Sometimes less is more.

Many people have issues with seeing the big picture. Instead they focus on personal concerns, such as which ethic group is reproducing and which is not. People are people and we all have the same human needs and desires. The differences between us are less significant then the similarities.

My head is definitely not in the sand. One doesn't have to buy into other folks negativity to accept reality. Hanging on the the past seems to me more in tune with sticking one's head in the sand then looking at the future in a positive light.

And who are they and what would that agenda be? Gay people are consumers the same as straight people. Smart corporations realize this and thus appeal to all  markets.

You cannot make someone gay. No amount of gay adds will turn people gay. One either is gay or they are not. The absence of gays in advertising will likewise not make people straight.

Some runners are gay, some runners wear Nike brand shoes or might chose them. For Nike to ignore this in their advertising would not be a wise business decision. It has nothing to do with pushing an agenda. Gay people use cell phones, drive cars, wear clothes....in other words they are consumers just as are straight people. Advertisers sell products to anyone who will buy them.

You're right, over population is an important issue.  The problem is that these low birth rates are only affecting civilized people.  Savages should outnumber the civilized by 2040.

Primemuscle does not understand that point because he is still PC - give him time.

I agree with PM that the world population is too large but disagree that the ever shrinking white population should decline even more.

Primemuscle, don't you know about the "Save the White Race" drive?? It's on par with save the Whales and Tigers. Get on the program and stop telling us we are all part of one race, the human race. Humans are a species with different races - not one race. Ok?!

So why did you turn straight and get married then homomuscle? The cock not enough for you? STD scare?

I hope that you have a vested interest in your question because I am going to attempt to give you an honest answer to you it.

I am gay or bisexual, depending on who is defining it. First of all, I did not turn. I do not believe one can "turn" anything. We are who we are. Furthermore, I cannot speak for other folks so my experience is unique to me.

I met my future wife and we became irrevocably connected for the rest of our lives. To this very day, neither of us understand the tight connection we have after 48 years of marriage.

I can say with complete certainty that our heterosexual marriage had nothing to do with being scared about STD's.

To answer your second question, about cock not being enough, I think this really speaks to the disconnect between male sexual gratification and emotional needs. I could probably suck a thousand cocks and never give this anymore significance then peeing a thousand times; it is not so much an emotional thing as a physical one. To put it more succinctly, it is not so much who you've sucked or fucked as who you love or have been loved by.

I definitely do not profess to know what the future holds for us. What would you say if you suddenly found out that Caucasians were not the superior race who would inherit the earth? Like you, I am Caucasian and would be very pleased to know that we have survived all strife against us.

I know many people have different ideas on marriage and relationships, so clearly whatever you do works with being married that long.

My wife and I have a very traditional marriage. I have no desire to stray outside my marriage at this point in my life. It is not a matter of what my wife "lets" me do, but what I want to do. We are a very loving couple with mutual interests who enjoys spending a lot of time together. This doesn't leave much room for either of us to become bored with the other. Each of us also have separate interests and pursuits outside the home. She meets with a group of her old work cronies about once a month for lunch. I am a union and political activist. I chair a non-profit. I also have a couple of friends I lunch with on occasion. My wife has never  been interested in exercise and so does not go to the gym. I have always been one to stay fairly fit. I think we have a good balanced relationship.

I have no problem with homosexual people, but shouldn't traditional ways / roles be respected?

Aren't we all better off, and shouldn't people at least be encouraged to do what's been traditionally considered "normal"?


Some people will be gay, some people will have probably been born the wrong gender, etc...  They're the exception

How are traditional roles not being respected?

People should be encouraged to be the best they can be. Remember that your normal may not be the same as someone else. One definition of tradition is a long-established custom or belief that has been passed on. Traditions are not always right or good. If you are suggesting people should be encouraged to be straight, I guess you don't get that sexual preference is not a choice one makes like what color suit to wear, what color hair you want to have or whether to be a mechanic or a doctor.

I once read a book titled the 6th Man. The premise of the book was that one in 6 men are gay. So yes that being the case, homosexuals are a minority. Transgendered folks are probably even more in the minority, I don't really know.

I finally saw the Kindle commercial that inspired this thread. From my perspective, it seemed rather humorous. The focus certainly was on the benefits of a Kindle. The few seconds in the end where the women thinks the guy is hitting on her only to discover that he is not was catchy and makes the commercial memorable. My wife thinks it is a funny commercial and she's definitely straight.

Have you guys seen this? Dude is hitting on a girl, she says "my husband is getting me a drink", and he says "so is mine".  Have TV commercials come to this? Glad I got a nook.

So why is he hitting on her if he is gay stupid commercial, and kindle is a piece of shit so who gives a fuck. FYI if you cannot afford an ipad then all i can say is too bad.

What's wrong with gay people?

They deserve the rights and respect that any other human has.

What's 'wrong' with gay people is not the issue here, it's the fact that media is agenda driven and forces a very marginalised lifestyle upon the majority with sickening repetition and volume, that is completely disproportionate.

He isn't hitting on her. She imagines that he is because he is being nice to her. Now this could be an "agenda" worth talking about.

How is one line in a commercial disproportionate? I realize now that I had seen that commercial before and never paid attention to what he said until someone brought it up here. Maybe what is disproportionate is some getbiggers reaction to it and not the actual commercial. The lifestyle you speak of is not as marginalized as you think.

If you are speaking about me, speak to me please. My "knowledge" about marriage is experience, my and my wife's experience. Every marriage is different. I have no special knowledge to spread. My sexuality should be of no concern to anyone on Getbig. In fact, it concerns no one but me and my wife when all is said and done.

I noticed you included a $ sign in your post....did you want to send me money for advice?

Everything is in perspective. I may be an old fella to you, but to someone in their 70's, I am young(er).

I have no problem with homosexual people, but shouldn't traditional ways / roles be respected?

Aren't we all better off, and shouldn't people at least be encouraged to do what's been traditionally considered "normal"?


Some people will be gay, some people will have probably been born the wrong gender, etc...  They're the exception




I agree 100% that traditional ways should be preserved and respected.  Right now they are flat out under attack by Democrats, Hollywood and the gay lobby.  Most of their ideas are totally fucked and I couldn't disagree with them more.  As you probably know I'm pretty conservative in my politics.  

However, when it comes to homosexuals I think we should allow them equal rights.  Marriage, and all that.  I've gotten to know quite a few queers and lezzies over the years and they are super cool people.  Most of them don't have a choice in the matter.  There are a lot of gay people is the USA and I think that not giving them equal protection under the law is wrong.  Also, they tend to flock to leftist ideas as a reaction to feeling rejected by the mainstream of society.  I feel giving them equal rights will get them re-invested in the country and stop them from looking at politics through such a narrow perspective.  If they don't have this stuff to bitch about anymore maybe they will start to see the big picture.

Cool, good post...  I like your point of view on this.

I know exactly what you mean.  I wouldn't want to hurt anyone, I just think like you said traditional values are under attack and have been for some time.  Not that there isn't room for everyone's values, but I think we should respect the way our grandparents lived.

I'm also a fan of the gays I know.  Every one of them (that I know) is hardworking, and contribute to society.  The thing that strikes me about gay people I know is that they're considerate which is rare today of anyone.

Coming from an old bisexual man who has been married to the wonderful woman for nearly fifty years in a traditional marriage, here are my thoughts on this: traditional values are passed down from one generation to the next. This is what my wife and I passed on to our children. Take two people who are completely different when it comes how they were raised; their religious indoctrination, their parental experiences, economic backgrounds, and finally sexual orientation, bring them together through love, respect and commitment to one another and you have a formula for success in pretty much every traditional way. The proof in the pudding is that our children are both in traditional, long term successful marriages.

I agree that a lot of gay folks are more considerate and forgiving of others shortcomings. Perhaps this has something to do with the fact that they have experienced more of the hurt people inflict on each other for no apparent reason.

It is sad the things that agitate the minds of supposedly heterosexual men on a bodybuilding website when they are not commenting on pictures of supposedly heterosexual men tanned and oiled in ambitions shoelaces.

I find it surprising that some people actually believe that seeing a couple of gay people on a commercial will make their kids gay.
oh a gay queen with a kindle waving at his boyfriend, now little timmy wants to suck a cock!!!  ::) ::)

You have astutely identified the absurdity of some peoples homophobia in your reply here. I cannot help myself, so I am going to say this, the fellow in the kindle commercial hardly fits the "gay queen" label. One of the reasons the commercial works is because he is believably heterosexual until he mentions that his husband is bringing him a drink. Thank goodness, they didn't go with some stereotypical "queen" in this ad. The truth is many gay men are very masculine acting. Unfortunately to the uneducated or naive, gay men are all queens.

yup. Most gay people i know, friends and/or co-workers, are "normal" acting.
but don't tell me that little wave at the end wasn't flamer as hell.

I don't know. I haven't been in a situation where I would be acknowledging my husband (never had one of those). If the advertisement had been different and it was the woman who had a wife and the man had a wife that he waved at, would it seem "flamer as hell" as you put it? Do men not wave their partners and if they do is it a gay gesture? Sometimes it seems like there are all these rules for how one should act to be seen as "manly" and it seems to me if a man has to think about he every move being judged as such, this actually emasculates him some. It seems manly to me when a man is not overly self-conscious about these kinds of things.
