Did McDonald’s know Lance Bass was gay?People magazine broke the official news this week that Lance Bass is gay. But count McDonald’s among those who may have suspected as much a long time ago. Check out this 2001 commercial, dug up by BestWeekEver.tv, in which the *NSYNC boys (and a nearly unrecognizable Britney Spears) play spin the bottle. It’s Lance’s turn, and as he freshens up with some Binaca, the bottle stops, much to Lance’s presumed delight, on Justin Timberlake, who clearly is not amused. Who says McDonald’s is out of touch with reality? |

In it, Lance Bass plays spin the bottle, except that B... [Read More]

Now you know why my buddy Justin broke up with Brit.

I like how they seem surprised by the fact that they spun a bottle in the middle of a bunch of dudes and somehow magically got another dude. I'm just impressed the band Ok'd this ad in the first place.

It’s not like Mickey D’s hasn’t presented gay imagery before. Think about it. There are few female characters in McDonaldland. It’s pretty safe to say there’s a relationship between Mayor McCheese and the Big Mac character.

Highjive has a point! How and when did Ronald McDonald and Hamburglar meet? Could it have been in the prison shower? Besides, we all know that Wendy's pregnant because Burger King didn't wrap his Whopper.
