IKEA took the top
honor at the Commercial Closet Association awards,
celebrating the best gay-friendly ad campaigns in mainstream
print, broadcast, and Internet media. The winning spot
was IKEA's "Living Room" ad with
a gay couple resting on the floor with their daughter and
dog. The narrator asks, "Why shouldn't sofas come in
flavors, just like families?"
Other winners
include Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams, Subaru, and Nokia.
The Clean-Up-Your-Act Notice went to DaimlerChrysler Group
for their Dodge Caliber commercial in which a muscular
man taunts a female fairy with the words, "Heh, heh,
silly little fairy." In response she turns him into a
pastel sweater-dressed man walking four Pomeranians
on pink leashes, after which he reacts with a
squeal. The narrator then says the new Dodge Caliber
is "anything but cute." (The Advocate)
