A "Str8" Cologne? Smells like homophobia to me...

Image...
From our friends across the pond at Queeried Magazine, we get "Str8" Cologne, or what they are calling "The Most Homophobic Piece Of Advertising Ever":

Get it? There's only one way and it's to be straight. Brilliant advertising, morons...

I wonder what "str8" smells like? Have at it, Commenters!

    All it's missing is the "No Homo" caveat near the sunset.

    I can't find any information on a company that make this stuff. Smells like hoax. Its not that hard to mock-up and photoshop up something like this.

    Why would you want to attract men if you're going for women? There might be pheromones in it to get those women worked up.

    I love that they used the 8 hahaha.

    And "No other way" could be speaking of no other way for you to choose. Women all the way.

    Over sensitive.

    Smells like hoax. Looks like a fake. Look at the price under the display. ($299 AUS$?) Total Photoshop job. Fake Fake Fake. If its not then tell me the comapny that makes it and their website.

    Oh no, some unimportant marketing people want to sell some stuff that nobody needs to some people and not some other people. We're all doomed, the sky is falling, wahh.

    I fear I might die from the awfulness of it all.

    Oh, wait - this is just like all those other marketing strategies in shops all across the world for all the other needless crap we buy.

    Gillette sells products specifically for men, Dove market soap specifically for women - sales and marketing strategies that excludes *way* more people than a straight-only fragrance. Why no outrage over that?

    Or the far, far, far, larger issue [in terms of numbers excluded] of queer publications.

    Some people seem to have a whole sawmill in their eye.
