The ads are not homophobic, it's as simple as that. Why is it assumed that the person doing the slam dunk is a man in the first place? Doesn't everyone know that the shoe company in question makes shoes so good that even frail women can thrown a slamdunk over the heads of men?

They <em>do</em> participate (see jcubs comment), but choose to do so sarcastically and not particularly honestly either. Great post btw. I can see a theme emerging here: 'what's really bugging Farhan this week'... It’s actually worse than that, believe it or not.
