Cottonelle Defends Gay Ad After Homophobes Smear It

Cottonelle recently dropped an ad featuring a gay male couple that has some conservatives promising to drop the brand. But the toilet paper brand, which encourages users to “give your booty a confidence boost” by using the product, responded to antigay consumers threatening to boycott by doubling down on its support of LGBTQ people.

The 15-second spot features a squeaky-clean bow tie-clad guy prepping to “meet the parents.”

“Down there care from Cottonelle … down there because today you meet the parents,” the voice-over says as he nervously sits and waits.

“So before they sit you down, give your booty a confidence boost with cleaning ripples that remove more at once for a superior clean and make you feel like the kind of guy he takes home to mother," the ad continues.

Good for them, but I still prefer Charmin.
