Dave Does Montreal, Indeed
Salut, dudes! As I pointed out in my May 4th post, Montreal is horny for gay business – but I didn’t realize quite how horny until I heard about the 45-second video ad recently launched online by Tourisme Montréal. A scruffy, longhaired, and totally cute dude – presumably the “Dave” of the title, and yes, I am at least as cute as he is — is standing on a distinguished street in front of a horsedrawn tourist buggy.
There he is, droning on fetchingly on about how there’s so much more to the city than the fabulous gay scene. Meanwhile, behind him, the buggy starts shaking, rattling and rolling, until finally two other hot dudes emerge from under the canopy, straightening their clothes in that unmistakable way, just as narrator boy concludes, “Montreal has this anything-goes reputation, but if you ask me, I think it’s a little exaggerated.” (Click on the image above to check it out).
Last I heard, the tourism folks claim they only got a single complaint. Canada’s far from perfect, but could you imagine even New York or San Francisco getting away with this?
Let me say again: if you haven’t been, put it on your list for next spring or summer. And don’t forget to take along Gay French for Love & Hookups!
Yours truly,
The Other Dave
