So, remember that mayo ad I shared with you the other day?

It couldn’t be long until someone got bent out of shape about it, right? Sorry to make today all about gay commercials (plus, there’s more to come soon. Sorry again.) but here’s a tiring debate about the whole matter. As a back story, the commercial has been pulled from the airwaves in the UK.

Oh, Neil Patrick Harris. I love how you continue to defy expectations.

You claw your way out of the child star purgatory and wiggle your way into a successful prime time gig. You come out of the closet and refuse to only take gay roles, instead tackling the role of a misogynist on a pretty funny network series.

It just warms my heart is all.

On that note, take a look at NPH’s new Old Spice commercial. It’s both genuinely chuckle-worthy (which is a higher compliment than it sounds) as well as defiant of the expectations one would have from an openly gay actor.
