So I heard about this video the other day from a teammate and then found it across the web on various rugby blogs. It is certainly an interesting video with plenty of stereotypes…basically it’s a quiet bar and then the LOUD rugby players come busting in and start causing a ruckus. There are a few other people in the bar and they are highly annoyed by this disturbance.
Drinks start flowing and then one of the two women who are surrounded by the loud rugby players receives a call on her Bluetooth. The point of the commercial is that as soon as she plugs the Bluetooth into her ear, everything goes silent and she hears the crystal clear phone conversation. Unbeknownst to her though , there are two men kissing behind her.
Some of the controversies are that Todd Clever and Dan Payne (USA Rugby members and players) are in the video. Some of the controversy is because it is two men kissing. Some of the controversy is the stereotyping of men rugby players. Even more of the controversy is the effect this video will have on youth…etc etc etc…what are your thoughts?
And no I will not be providing the video for your viewing, use half a brain and find it on Youtube, it has almost 100,000 views.

The Bluetooth only covers one ear. How does that block out all the sound? Unless she’s deaf in the other one.
