First of its kind gay-themed TV ad to air in New York and LA, but not in San Francisco because the ad is deemed “too controversial”.

The makers of 'Boy Butter', the hot-selling personal lubricants, were a little nervous about launching their first TV ad campaign, so they chose markets with a high gay (and presumably gay-friendly) population. They got the OK from every city except San Francisco.

“The agents from Comcast in San Francisco declined to air our 'You Won’t Believe It’s Not Boy Butter' spot because it was deemed too controversial,” says Boy Butter creator Eyal Feldman.
 
The 30 second ad spoofs an iconic campaign from the early 90s, featuring only the hands of two men and a voice-over of playful banter tinged with mild sexual innuendo. One hand applies the Boy Butter as both men exchange a knowing giggle.

The commercial will air soon on mainstream cable networks like Bravo, Oxygen, E and Logo in New York and Los Angeles.

“This will be the first gay personal lubricant commercial on TV,” says Feldman.
     
But the rejection in the world capitol of gay culture shocked the team at gay owned and operated Boy Butter.

“Another Gay milestone is happening and it is such a shame that San Francisco of all places will miss out on the fun. It smacks of anti-gay bias and makes me feel like fighting for truth, justice and personal lubrication!” exclaimed Feldman.

You're right about CKs being on every Tom, Dick and Harry. Now they have a huge store in London it's the same with Abercrombie & Fitch  - the exclusivity has been lost. Plus, overweight middle-aged men are now wearing them and it's just not hot! I have to say that I love looking at all the underwear ads that are about at the moment. A) the pants a sexy and b) the guys are gorgeous. I'm so pleased we’ve moved away from the loose boxers. Tight trunks and briefs are the way forward and just too damn irresistible.
