June 17, 200719 yr Credit cards come out of the closet Saturday, 16 June 2007 A Thai credit card company is directly targeting the gay and lesbian community with its advertising. The commercial for Krungthai Card (KTC) shows a hip Bangkok bar where a ravishing Thai woman looks flirtatiously into a handsome man's eye. As the Thai man meets her gaze, the audience sees a series of sexualized possibilities: the woman sleeping in bed, with the man watching her; the man admiring himself in a bathroom mirror; the two dancing; and the man lounging in a sauna with a handful of hunky men. Back at the bar, as the woman leans in to kiss him, she notices that he is staring lustfully at someone behind her. She slowly turns her head to see a man seductively raising an eyebrow at her would-be lover. Then a voice-over declares, "I am...KTC Titanium MasterCard." http://www.bangkokrecorder.com/news/news/c...loset-1052.html
