Whenever I see positive commercials like this one, or equally-positive ones featuring, say, interracial couples or gay couples, my thoughts drift off to visions of the holier-than-thou hypocrites having a cow, and I fantacize about pulling their damn chains until they bust!!!

It's amazing to me how many folks get upset and angry by the sight of an interracial couple in a commercial. I see this happen on Facebook ads all the time in the comments.
I came across this commercial on Reddit recently where people talked about commercials they hated. It's a bizarre combination of homophobia and Puritanism that people can't seem to shake off. The guy in the commercial looks great, in my opinion.
I saw that same reddit discussion and couldn't believe the amount of hate towards a man in a speedo! You're right its just bizarre and weird. They were calling this guy creepy and a pedophile of all things. Absolutely rediculous.

I saw the ad and his suit was not that much different than what my father wore to the beach and pool in the 80s and 90s and it was never an issue in Mexico where we lived.
In many parts of the world these are just swimsuits, even a bit conservative in some countries.
Yeah, the amount and types of comments for wearing them is eye-rolling.
