Internet bloggers are calling Quiznos'
new gay oven ad “disturbing” and even pornographic.
Said one blogger at TVSquad.com:
“The new Quiznos commercial is probably the closest we'll get to a
gay porn flick in a mainstream sub shop ad.”
The new ad features a sexy male oven
asking a male sandwich maker to “put it in me, Scott.” The oven
is begging for a second go around with Quiznos' foot-long torpedo
sub.
And when the Quiznos worker initially
rejects the oven's proposition, he looks down at his crotch,
ostensibly saying the box was too hot for him.
“It's either a tasteless exercise in
homophobic humor or it's camp genius,” wrote Jim Edwards at
Bnet.com, a blog
dedicated to the ad biz.
“[Y]ou'd be hard-pressed to forget
the point: That Quiznos has foot-long meat tubes just waiting to be
jammed in the hotbox for you,” wrote David Griner at AdFreak,
an Ad Week blog.
The spot was created by Quiznos' new ad
agency, Nitro.
