Ad man fired by agency over "transphobia"
Heroic truth-teller, McInnes above
Gavin McInnes, chief creative officer of Rooster in New York, has been asked to take an indefinite leave of absence following the publication of a transphobic essay.
Published earlier this week on Thought Catalog, "Transphobia is Perfectly Natural" has at publication received 2,082 comments. It has also sparked a "Boycott Rooster" movement, with Tumblr and Twitter accounts asking followers to let Rooster clients—Vans, Red Bull, Fox Sports and others—know they will not support companies that work with McInnes.
"Gavin's views are his own and do not represent those of the company or its members," said a Rooster representative. "We are extremely disappointed with his actions and have asked that he take a leave of absence while we determine the most appropriate course of action."
McInnes co-founded Rooster in 2010 as an agency that would make ads for people who hate ads. He has appeared in the shop's work for Vans, most recently as the man who explains how to do absolutely everything.

That his comments were correct seems to have been ignored. I have put his essay up on POLITICAL CORRECTNESS WATCH

This guy is on Red Eye pretty often, isn't he. I like him, a lot. In the... urhm, non-trans way. I've been thinking about setting him up for at least vice president. I'd love to see him make prez, they are letting anyone in these days. But I don't think the toasters* are quite ready for him.

Have to feel sorry for this guy.
Saying a trans fake vagina looks like a cheese blintz.
Cheese blintzes look like roller-up Mexican burritos.
Maybe her operation hadn't happend yet and he is pissed because he ened up with one unknowingly.
Yes, that IS it!
Ok, everybody can laugh at him now and point fingers cause he may have picked-up AIDS from that TRANS wantabe.
Warn the women!!! ASAP!
