Yellow Pages Gay Prank
This is a bizarre story of a New Zealand Yellow Pages ad that was placed for a business as a prank (or worse).
Ray Parker was shocked to open the Auckland Yellow Pages to find an ad for his gym tagging it as a homosexual fitness center.
There was a bogus phone number placed in the ad.
I don’t see how this could have been perpretrated without the cooperation of someone inside the Yellow Pages publisher.
Either the sales rep knew it was a scam, or someone in publishing was playing around and forgot to remove the ad before the directory went to the press.
On the bright side, Ray might have stumbled onto an unmet market demand for a gay friendly health club.
There are several “gay friendly” Yellow Pages published that identify businesses that are committed to providing high levels of service to gay and lesbian clients.
