well so did Jack and Ennis!!

the lighting, the jacket and hat that the one was wearing, how he turns his head...all really evokes Jack to me...even the tone of his voice.

maybe an 'inside' joke? maybe someone on the ad team is a brokie!!

I dont see it as being homophobic though....

they are taking a slam at IHOP...

What? I dont get it? It doesnt' have anything to do with BBM.

I saw the commercial on TV.  Never once made me think of BBM.  IMO, it was just a commercial using archetypal  characters to represent tough, serious and macho men and juxtapositioned them with cartoon/kiddie pancakes for humorous effect.

so did I, Del.  The gloomy discussion over breakfast in a seedy diner looked like a stereotypical Western image, not related to BBM.

It actually made me think more of the movie Country with Sam Shepherd if you ever saw it.

     It reminded me more, of the others saying that it makes fun of IHOP.  Their silly fruity and sweet breakfasts.  They
are saying that they are manly men, wanting a more manly choice for breakfast.  But on the other hand when faced
with the hard fact.  They want do diddles and etc on their sweet treats.   I have seen that commercial several times.
It never brought BBM to mind until this post was made.
