A magazine ad pushing fabric softener to homosexuals refocuses attention on Procter & Gamble.
A Procter & Gamble print ad that once appeared in a gay magazine featuring two men in bed together has refocused attention on a growing boycott of the company's products.
We won't reproduce it here, but the sense of the print advertisement is that Downy can even help with wrinkles that come when gays are too eager to get out of their clothes. It first appeared four years ago in a Canadian magazine.
"They're using the excuse that it was a long time ago and it was a mistake," said Phil Burress, president of Citizens for Community Values, who lives in Procter & Gamble's home town of Cincinnati.
As a long-time observer of P&G, Burress doesn't believe it was a mistake.
