I just had to again say thank you for making my "legal" folder in my RSS reader so much more interesting. I love these ads. Thanks for the post! Laura.

It's really cool to see this little project of mine making its way around the web. I run past one of those awful ads every day and I too wonder about the placement of this campaign in a predominantly non-white, immigrant neighborhood that also borders on the gay village. Additionally, I've read on another blog that the uber-straight "Your Dad Was Not A Metrosexual" ads have shown up in the bathrooms of one of the most popular gay bars in Toronto. It makes me wonder if its even worth protesting these ads if Canadian Club is going to demonstrate enough stupidity to make their bid for a bigger market share backfire without any help at all. Billboard alteration is something I've never considered, of course, but if I had, it would have required money I don't have at the moment. But if anyone else wanted to print out the ads or make their own and take some photos of their handiwork, well, of course I would never endorse that, but I would sure like to see the results. Wow.
