Wait… Those Doritos Commercials Weren’t Real??!

Remember those two Dorito’s ads we liked so much? Yeah well Frito-Lay wasn’t behind them.

According to Frito-Lay Director of Public Relations Chris Kuechenmeister, the latter is true. He said the pair of ads in question were two out of 5,600 that were submitted to the company for its “Crash the Super Bowl” contest. Furthermore, the YouTube page on which the ads appear is a fan-made page, and not the official page for the Crash the Super Bowl contest. Kuechenmeister said the ads in question were not among the finalists chosen by a panel of judges, and have no chance of airing during the Super Bowl or otherwise.

Some of our QCommenters said they didn’t like the tired gay stereotype of gays being constantly cock-hungry. But if a guy on a 30-second commercial isn’t somewhat flamboyant or kissing another man, how can the audience possibly identify him as gay? A pink t-shirt? An uninvolved boyfriend nearby? Straight men don’t fare much better in TV ads—they act like ogling turds around infinitely hotter women. Just saying, sometimes gay men are flamboyant and horny.
That being said, it’s too bad that Frito-Lay won’t be running those ads. Oh well, at least we still have the Austrailian Dorito ad for their Mexican-flavor.
