What a gay Christmas ad!

An ad in this week's Philadelphia Weekly

What is that for, I saw something about gardening?
How absurd!

I like how they have morphed a formerly offensive moniker into a term of endearment.

Apparently, whether it is offensive or not now depends entirely on who utters it.

Puts a whole new spin on the concept of plowing deep furrows, anyway...

Yeah. And the week after that is the New International Garden Gnome Exposition and Raffle.

This is why Wolf loves HB.

Too fucking clever.

I thought the ad was funny as hell, but someone could easily take offense to it. I was surprised that the Weekly let such an ad run...though I suspect a lot of gays read the Weekly, so maybe I shouldn't be surprised.

Yes, the Garden-and-Yammer crowd loves these things.
