this ad is a Dolce & Gabbana watch ad, and above is the link for the commercial.
these two models are kissing, portraying them as being gay.
The fact that gay rights is such a controversial topic, as well as the sight of them kissing, drives home the point that they are indeed homosexual. This ad is schocking because as much of a forward thinking nation as America may be, we are still not completely comfortable with the sight of openly gay relationships, much less the use of that imagery to make a campaign upon.
This makes the ad stick out in your mind. while not everyone will agree with the means by which Dolce & Gabbana used to promote their watch, everyone will remember this ad, because it's so conteroversial, i'ts hard to forget.
