Overstock.com...
Is it me...or are these commercials covertly sexual?
"The BIG O"...then you have the chick on there that is talking in this very sultry voice, and she is half naked, wearing short skirts...I dont know what the hell is going on, and I dont know what to make of it?

Someone called him Big Gay Al, and his title is rim master. Maybe he is bothered by women who can wear shorter skirts and longer heels than him?

Yeah ok well that still doesnt answer the question of what do other people think about it.
Its a commercial about a website taht sells ****. So why is there a girl that sounds like she should be on the other end of a 1-900 number.
Shes hot btw, but I just found it odd...sorry if thats "gay" to you to ask a question about what other people think.

I wouldn't say "covertly" Al... they made it sexual intentionally. It was their only way to possibly do better than eBay's corny "and did it eBay" commercials.
The Big O commercials have been around for a few years now.
