Subaru's Lesbian Ad Campaign

About this episode

This episode explores the stereotype of lesbians loving Subarus and the company's marketing efforts to embrace this image.

Today's episode is a nice light-hearted look at something near and dear to many sapphic hearts - Subaru! We take a look at WHY lesbians loving Subarus is such a stereotype, what the car company did to encourage this, and laugh at some pretty saucy innuendos.
