What if the same ad had been created depicting a men-vs.-women basketball game, and the crotch area of a male player was right in front of a female player, or vice-versa? Wouldn’t the caption ”that ain’t right” have been equally appropriate?

You could literally think up dozens of images in which two people doing something innocuous were positioned to look like they were having sex, and label the images ”that ain’t right.”

Just for kicks, how about a schoolboy standing immediately behind a female teacher who’s picking something up off the floor? My point is, I don’t think this was a gay joke so much as a joke about how sometimes, people inadvertantly find themselves in positions that look sexual.
