This ad is via South Africa.
Not the smartest strategy for a 2013 ad.
Unless homophobia just flies over the heads of South Africans, like a bullet.
Note the pink background.

The agency/client are apparently trying to do some "edgy" ads not normally seen in the category.
I've contacted Flora seeking a comment.
I will update if/when they respond.
Ad agency: Lowe + Partners Johannesburg.
