Only 3-4 women CD’s on the list, brilliant, no wonder its a hockey ad culture here.
Here’s what the Globe had to say about the spot:
On May 20, more than 40 creative directors will gather at Rooster, the post-production house in downtown Toronto, for the eighth annual local Portfolio Night, a sort of professional speed-dating event held in 38 cities around the world in which ad industry hopefuls spend a few hours pitching their samples, and themselves. The promotional spot for this year’s Toronto event tells the bittersweet story of a young man from the sticks who, after telling his parents he is “gay for ads,” is kicked out of the house. (In a flashback, his former girlfriend relates how she once dressed up in a restaurant’s chicken costume to sing him a pre-coital commercial jingle.) In the end, happily, our wandering adman finds a welcoming community of similarly marginalized creative types. So much for the bigots who say legalizing gay marriage will lead to people shacking up with donkeys. Advertising and chickens, sure. But donkeys? That’s just weird.
