Getting Down to Business
The Munsingwear Creative Brief (zing!) is handed to the art director and copywriter:
AD: They want us to highlight the "stretchy seat" of these underwear.
CW: So I guess it gives you lots of comfort and room?
AD: Yeah, not constricting. Let's you move without binding or hindering daily activity.
CW: How about a man riding a horse in his underwear?
AD: What? Are you gay? Please!
CW: Just trying to think here, man. OK, how about a man doing some acrobatics, like tumbling or trapeze?
AD: OK, you're on to something there, but still, too faggy.
CW: Hurdles? Pole vault? Discus?
AD: No, no, no.
CW: OK. Thinking...
AD: I've got it! Wrestling! With another man!
CW: I don't know. That seems sort of...
AD: What?
CW: Oh, I don't know. Queer?
AD: You're such a homophobe. Write the copy. I'm going to scout for models at the Y.
Previously in questionable underwear ads of yesteryear.
Via.

That actually looks like my partner and I, fighting over punctuation after a couple Mai Tais at Trader Vics.
Only we were wearing clothes. And we weren't so gay about it. NTTAWWT.
