"Bye bye, turkey neck." [View all]

I like Ellen DeGeneris but I am puzzled by her being a spokesperson for a skin care product. I think of her as a comedienne and wonder if these ads are a breakthrough for gay women.

I'd like the opinion of other DUers here.

I am very supportive of gay men and women. I want to think of this ad as a good thing for everyone and welcome the product even more strongly because of the ad.

Welcoming other DUers opinion here...
