Chow Doritos Works to Lose Gay Peruvian Consumers
Posted by Dan Savage on Tue, Feb 24, 2009 at 8:18 AM
How else can this ad be explained?

Dan, maybe they are trying to get the Peruvian Lesbian consumers? gay men never eat doritos anyway, they are more the chex mix kinda folks

I guess beer companies are trying to lose gay customers as well, with all their fiercely hetero ads. Right? That's the only way it can be interpreted.

Touchy much, Dan?
Bi male with boyfriend.
First thought: Hot.
Second thought: Wouldn't that lead to a yeast infection?
...
It wouldn't be as hot if it were a person bending over with a dorito blocking their chocolate starfish.

I'm lost at figuring out what Dan is trying to say. Is he saying that because the ad is (supposed to be) attractive to those who enjoy women, then it is conversely disgusting those who don't enjoy women?
Or perhaps he thinks that only gay Peruvians don't like the taste of pussy flavored Doritos.
Any other thoughts?

@3, gays are way too enamored of their longnecks.
...Come to think of it (heh), an awful lot of "straights" are, as well.

Dan Dan Dan--- please stop thinking that just because YOU don't like pussy, all other gay men don't like pussy.
Being gay is NOT about disliking pussy. What is with you sometimes?

Whoa. Mystery numbers are disappearing without a trace. Now, we're getting into some serious 1984-type shit.

From the way he's described his preferences over the years, he doesn't dislike it, he's just not the least bit interested in eating it. I feel the same way about weiners.

ding ding ding. Why does the word "gay" only refer to males? I thought it was just polite slang for "homosexual". I mean, "Yep, I'm Gay"-Ellen

@20 I don't know what you have been reading, but Dan has disctinctly said them thar pussies are revolting to him (canned ham dropped from a balcony or something.....).
My major point is his inconsistency and ilogic in his analogy and arguments.
Sexual acts, body parts or past experiences do not define sexuality.
Deciding that there is only one plausible explanantion for an advertisement that uses sex to sell something is pretty myopic. But it doesn't even make sense to say that gay men would be repulsed by a suggestive female crotchshot because gayness is not defined by repulsion of female crotches.

hartiepie-
He always said that he likes canned ham. I don't think that these ads would be turn all gay men off Doritos, but I doubt it gets the same response from straight and gay men. I'm still trying to decide if Dorito flavoring is something I'd want to run into down there. Probably overthinking things...

How is this anti-gay Dan? Have you ever tasted pussy? It's better than foie gras (so I've been told. I have only had pussy).
If I had money I would go buy some Dorito's and milk right now.

The most annoying thing about gays like Dan Savage is that they aren't really even "persons", they are a robotic cliche of "gayness".
Who are you? "I'm gay." Yes, but who are you really? "I'm gay!" Ok, you are gay, we get that, but who are you? "Gay!!! My whole being is about being gay! I am gay, therefore I am!"

When I went home to Minneapolis a few years ago, I ate at a restauarant near the U that had some meals named after recently successful school athletes. There was a good three cheese burger named after a female basketball player, but here's how it was listed on the menu:
Lindsey Whalen's Cheese
It ended up being the catchphrase of the night. Thanks, ill-named dish!

I always find it hard to believe that there are so many people who don't realize when Dan is mocking them.
