All the sports betting ads, ED ads, pharma ads, the Hegseth fascist military ads, the unhinged political ads, it’s all fucking enough already. 

EDIT: I'm glad we can all agree on something, flairs notwithstanding.

Yet I bet any Ad with two guys holding hands will get the most ire from some populations.

I mean, why do you think the sydney sweeney ad is the one people take most issue with? I don't think a clearly-but-not-really shirtless woman is as scandalous as people want to believe it is, even if the advertising people know exactly what they're doing. but I'm also a woman, so I think women's bodies are whatever. worthy of the pearl-clutching? no. but I assume most of the audience is conservative, so it's not like they wouldn't have found some other thing to be mad about
