Is it ‘gay’ to have sex with a talking oven? [video]

“Put it in me, Scott.”

A talking toaster oven asking a Quiznos employee, Scott, in the sandwich company’s latest TV ad. Gay bloggers are not sure what to make of the weird ad which seems similar to famous Hal, the talking computer of ”2001: A Space Odyssey.” But the male voice emanating from the flashing oven, and the fact that the male employee seems to look down at his crotch while holding the foot-long ToastyTorpedo gives the spot a bizarre sexual twist.
