CGiii Comment

This should make many, many people very angry indeed...and, married women will feel an icy wave of paranoia wash over them...

Over 50% of our customers are married (i.e. straight), maybe more...

Why these two numpties (John and Joe) agreed to do this in the first place is (and will always be) one of the worst decisions either of them have ever made. Then again, neither of them come across as especially bright...affable but dim...and, yes, all that free advertising. Not that dim! But - certainly - stripped of all dignity.

First and foremost, gay saunas are not mysterious places...as the blurb so excitably states. The 'sauna' is a euphemism for a 'knocking shop' - they are - simply and usually - a grubby little place, down some backstreet, where men go to get their rocks off...with other men.

Then...why oh why was this narrated by a woman...? Unsurprisingly, women know absolutely nothing about a gay sauna...other than what they have been told!

Obviously, the intended audience were women!

John and Joe have been a couple for years...they don't have sex with each other, they do indulge with their clientele...and, they are about to get married. Perfect ammunition for the dissenters of same-sex marriage.

You can hear them scream: Mockery, sham, immoral!

Keep your private lives to yourselves boys...you've done more harm than you could possibly imagine. But, think about all that advertising! Money, money, shag, shag. Life is bliss.

And then there's straight-boy James, the cleaner...! And that's all we have to say on this particular topic.
