If the oil industry can be this deeply out of touch with so many movements at once, it kind of begs the question what else they don’t have a clue about.

I think “Choose Canadian oil because we don’t kill homosexual people” is actually a great slogan.
Do you know who doesn’t think that’s a great slogan? Apparently the target demographic for this ad.

Why couldn’t it be both?
Would you ever look at an image of a young woman kissing a young man and think *look at her, she’s clearly a lesbian!"

It doesn’t matter anyway. I once watched a musical where a gay actor played a straight man and had some extremely bad chemistry with the woman he was supposed to be romantically interested in. Some of the people I went with thought it was “too obvious he was gay”. I thought it was too obvious he was a bad actor.

From the next board of directors meeting:
CEO: Well, that lesbian thing bombed
Director 1: And how!
Director 2: We need to come up with a new slogan. A Dashtag.
Director 3: I know! Let’s emphasize all of the jobs the tar sands create, pulling that nice, black oil out of the ground.
Director 1: Yes! And talk about how it’ll affect the lives of these people to be put out of work… We can call it… OilLivesMatter!
Director 2: Dashtag OilLivesMatter!
Director 3: No… “Oil” as a word, polls badly. Maybe something else.
Director 4: Oil is black… How about “Cashtag BlackLivesMatter!”
Director 2: It’s “Dashtag,” you idiot!
CEO: Great idea. “Bashtag BlackLivesMatter” is our next slogan! Meeting adjourned!

Same thing, isn’t it? Symptom: too obviously gay. Cause: too obviously a bad actor.
I know the person who posted this, Robbie Picard, he is a facebook troll, he lives on facebook. This is far from his first time posting something like this, its just the first time it got this much attention. He is no longer associated with the ‘Pro-tar-sands’ groups, and he does this shit for laughs on his own. The group it was aimed at is the general group of oil workers in Fort McMurray, which is overly 25-35yo males with too much money, a jacked up pick-up truck, and white oakleys.
It wasnt posted as a serious argument.

The phrase “crime against nature” comes to mind.
Um…well…um…geez. I think we are being trolled. He is being outrageous like Trump so that we will all spread his meme around the proverbial water cooler. We have played into his hands. Watch out for those grabby hands.

True, I just think that the former (too obviously gay) sounds a bit like it might be importing ideas about an essential divide between gay and straight. You can cover an inability to act by being actually like the character you are supposed to be playing (to some extent), but if someone is good at acting (which sort of necessarily requires the skill of understand how other people feel) then it doesn’t really matter if they are personally similar to the character. That applies to people playing soldiers, playing single mothers, playing the president, or playing someone who is really interested in having sex with a woman (since, let’s not forget, the point here is pornography).
I’m sure some actors who appear in films in which women have sex with women genuinely enjoy having sex with women and for others it isn’t something they particularly like. Even among those who enjoy doing that, they don’t necessarily identify as lesbians or even anything other than heterosexual (there are some parts of my job I enjoy, but I don’t identify with them in any way, except maybe making spreadsheets). I imagine that someone who genuinely likes having sex with women is going to have an easier time selling that on camera, but it’s all fiction, and not being enthused about it isn’t a complete barrier to being convincing as an actor.

i like how they’re unabashedly fetishizing lesbians but then have the gall to throw out the word ‘equality’.
tar sands are both sexy AND noble!
The fuck?
Idiocracy is here.
