Silly little fairy

[drewan]

Looks like Chrysler is getting a little heat for their "Too Tough" ad, the one with the fairy flying around making everything cute... except it doesn't work on the new Dodge Caliber. The poor fairy gets thrown against a wall, where a passing tough guy walking his dog utters "Silly little fairy!". In frustration she turns him into a preppy guy walking a couple miniature dogs. Basically... to me, the fairy turned the punk into a fairy.

I can see why this might be taken by some as bad... but I really laughed when I first saw the commercial.

I thought he looked more like a stereotypical yuppie than gay, really. I can see why some might take that as a gay stereotype, but I really don't see it being offensive. She made him 'cute', like she made the building and train 'cute' (the whole point of the ad).

I, too, thought he looked stereotypically yuppie. Like drewan, I laughed when I saw it.
