Remember that Pepsi Max ad we didn't like? Guess who else hates it?

A couple of days ago we showed the above ad for Pepsi Max that just started airing in the UK. We were less than impressed, but most of you who commented didn't have a problem with it.

The ad takes place in a pub where two guys are trying to help their friend gather the courage to make his move on someone who's "giving him the eye". After chugging some Pepsi Max he ventures out, past a mousy girl, a bimbo, until he finally settles on a hot hunk at the end of the bar. His friends stare at the proceedings in disbelief, with a look of obvious disgust on one guys face.

So the message of the commercial is that ... Pepsi Max will turn you gay! Actually, the message is probably that the soft drink will give you the confidence to go after what you want, etc.

Well, the always sweet-natured American Family Association has weighed in, and announced that they are not pleased with the ad either, saying it "promotes the gay lifestyle".

Which totally makes us reconsider our opinion.

We'd like to hear your thoughts on the ad. Do you like it? Do you hate it? And if you do hate it, does knowing that the AFA hates it too make you want to give it the benefit of the doubt?

Oh, and reader HobdaGoblin came up with an excellent point: Why the hell is the American Family Association protesting a UK commercial? What, is the U.S. gay agenda not enough for them anymore? Now they have to spread their phony outrage to the rest of the world? Look, as an American, I'm willing to take responsibility for unleashing Paris Hilton and Stuffonmycat.com onto an unsuspecting planet, but I am not taking the blame for this!
