I actually saw this ad on TV, and I don't really like it. It features an all-male pit crew dressed in drag changing out the tires for race car driver, Danica Patrick. The current general theme of Boost advertising is "You think this is wrong? I'll tell you what's wrong...." The commercials usually feature some sort of unusual, attention-getting content.

I dunno...on the AdWeek newspage, a commenter claimed to be both a drag queen and a Nascar fan and enjoyed the video, but for some reason, I think most cross-dressing ads are tacky and disrespectful to the trans community. I'm probably being overly sensitive, but trans issues aside, I generally think this is a bad commercial. Your turn to sound off!
