What a nice change.
Hopefully GM won't pull it due to complaints from the night crawlers who'll slither out to condemn it as hateful or exclusionary.

Interestingly, GM has been ahead of most other corporations in pushing (and funding) Planned Parenthood and homo-everything.

THANKS for a great find!
There are so many commercials that portray husbands and fathers as just big doofusses (sic) who are clueless without their brilliant bacon-bringing-frying wives or their tech-genius kiddies...I'm even insulted by those, on behalf of my wonderful husband...this is a nice change! ;)

Well, I looked at the ad.
Plus: The dad doesn’t tolerate hats put on crooked.
Minus: The dad doesn’t know the meaning of the word “awesome”.

Minus: The dad doesnt know the meaning of the word awesome.I haven't watched to ad, but not knowing the meaning of the word awesome is a big plus. It could very well indicate he has conservative training.
Awesome is a Liberal term which describes everything everywhere, thus meaning nothing.

My admittedly unscientific survey indicates that for every commercial showing an intact family (dad, mom, kids), four are of the “Stupid White Male” type, and ten are of the “Happy, Fulfilled Single Mom” type.

Awesome is a Liberal term which describes everything everywhere, thus meaning nothing. Sometimes you hear someone say "Totally Awesome!"
I sometimes refer to things as "partially awesome."
To: NYer
I’m speechless....
I was actually glowing watching this. If more young guys saw this, and similar positive examples, we might have a chance.
It’s as good as my other favorite ad that Cadillac put out earlier this year.

It will definitely go on my rotation list of stuff I will listen to for inspiration!
If only we had a conservative TV network where stuff like this would be just a normal part of the broadcast.

These are examples of 1950s advertising. The shift towards liberated women began in the 1960s and continued to grow to where now we see men caring for children while the wife (supposing there is one) is off working.
Pendulums swing. Perhaps the above Cheerios ad, if it succeeds, will set a new trend back towards a more traditional family.

You misunderstood my post. Like many, both liberal and conservative, he uses awesome to mean, "wonderful", "great" etc.
Properly used, "awesome" is an adjective that describes something inspiring fear or reverence. It could range from the Wrath or Mercy of God to the Grand Canyon. It cannot describe a Peanut Butter Cheerio, unless one has a very severe peanut allergy.

The commercial is good; but the cereal sux.
