Nike ads pulled, WatchDog ponders picture predicament

Nike has dropped a controversial new ad campaign that involves guys dunking in other guys' faces, which some deemed homophobic, and others deemed an insane overreaction.

I'd post a picture of it, but we just got our latest directive about crediting photos, and if I followed all the rules, I'd have no time to write my newspaper column or walk the poodles or eat.

The world needs an enema. 'That ain't right' homophobic? Come on Nike - show some balls. It's the person who takes that ad to be phobic who is the real phobic.
