Gay Commercial: Gay.com

Coinciding with National Coming Out Day in 2005, Planet Out's Gay.com launched a new ad campaign with the tagline "More Than Meets the Eye" which fixates on the apparent relationship between foot size and...well...you know what. Along with a promotional online video in which a guy plays footsie with men of all different foot sizes until he finds foot-measure-breaking Mr. Bigfoot, there were print and outdoor ads.

I remember that one. Very silly, and lots of fun. :-)

OMG Elisa!!

That is hilarious and you are right the soundtrack is perfect!

Made my day. For sure you find the best ads ;-)

It's perfect since it makes you laugh but at the same time smile since he finds Mr Right BigFoot... Elisa

Such a cute ad. I've seen it before. I could watch it again.

Yes, it's old, but always funny. Elisa

You see when he "rejects" Mr Pink Pant? His feet seems to say "NO WAY"! Elisa

I had to watch it again because I didn't see the pink undies till you mentioned them. I thought he had rejected the guy because he was wearing shoes that were too big. LOL... truth is not in the advertising. ;-)

I believe that in the end he chooses the most "naked" feet, means the one who is simple and normal, Mr Good Boy Next Door. If I have to find another meaning is that usually eyes are distracted by "ornaments", and don't see the real man beyond them, but if you are naked, you can't avoid to see him. Elisa

Yes! Who would have thought you could show so much with just feet?

The actors are really very good, and I'm not joking. Elisa

Yes plain black with really BIG feet. The exact opposite of Mr. Pink

In this case plain is better ;-) Elisa
