Orbitz Explores Its Sexuality

Check out this recent ad from Orbitz and keep your eyes peeled for subversive threats to society.

00:00 / 00:00 00:00

Did you catch that? See the guy in the blue polo? That symbol on his shirt is the logo for the Human Rights Campaign, a gay and lesbian advocacy group. And in the background? That’s a rainbow flag towel on the golf bag.

This isn’t the first Orbitz ad to acknowledge the existence of homosexuality. A more obviously gay Orbitz spot ran in 2003 during episodes of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. This one has a wider run though, and it’s more a symbol of support than an ad targeted at gay guys. Nice work, folks. And if you’re offended by the ad, well, you don’t have to get a check back when the price of your hotel room falls.

Thanks, Atley.

Thanks, Atley. I hadn’t realized that a gay guy with a rainbow towel on his golf bag was a SUBVERSIVE THREAT TO SOCIETY! We must remember to use tiny rainbow colored towels when we overthrow the government next week!!
