Boy Butter Lube in a Tight Spot in San Francisco
The makers of “Boy Butter,” the hot-selling personal lubricants, were a little nervous about launching their first TV ad campaign, so they selected markets with a high gay (and presumably gay-friendly) population. They got the approval in 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,” said 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 bit of a giggle.
The commercial -- the first personal lubricant commercial targeted to gay men -- will air soon on mainstream cable networks like Bravo, Oxygen, E and Logo in New York and Los Angeles.
Who would have thought San Francisco, of all places, would reject the ad?
