Kindle Commercial

Last night, watching Chopped, as I'm wont to do when given unfettered access to cable TV, a commercial for the Kindle Paperwhite came on. It was cheesy, a man sitting on the beach, using his iPad, when an attractive woman sits next to him. She's using the Kindle and can read on the beach without glare! He talks to her about it and she explains how much better the Kindle is for reading, at which point he buys one with his iPad. He then turns to her and says "We should celebrate," perhaps somewhat suggestively as though he were hitting on her. She smiles and says her husband is bringing her a drink. Then the man says, "So is mine." They turn and there's two men at the bar who wave back at them.

Whoa wait.

What?

WHAT?

Did a nationally airing commercial for a major consumer electronic device just have a non-cliche married gay couple?! I buh...

America? Fuck yeah?

EDIT:

Apparently it's online, which is totally obvious that it would be in retrospect and I am dumb for not thinking of that.
