This Cheerios Commercial Featuring a Gay Couple and Their Adopted Daughter Is Adorable
Slate ^ | Oct. 3 2014 | Mark Joseph Stern

Over the past few years, General Mills has positioned itself as something like the anti-Chick-fil-A, celebrating LGBT pride and vehemently opposing Minnesota’s proposed gay marriage ban. All of that is very nice—but come on, this is 2014. If you’re a food company and you haven’t made an adorable ad featuring a gay couple with their children, you’re just another face in the pro-gay corporate crowd.

Luckily, General Mills has now decided to get with the program, releasing a commercial with a gay couple, their adopted daughter, and a bowl of Cheerios. And the ad is just as impossibly cute as you might expect.

The product is often the same...HOWEVER..the “name” brand is paying the freight for advertising; hence the lower price on the generics.

So, if people switch to store brands...even if the product is made by General Mills it will “temporarily” hit their profits. Of course, they will just pass along the costs thus increasing the price of the generic versions within a few months. Can’t have the “shareholders” suffer a loss due to a revolt by the gauche peasants.

There is no real way to destroy or to compete with these behemoth companies..they own us (and more importantly, they own the Politicians).

Interesting, I am not sure where in my post you see I support the homosexual lifestyle. I am surely not a hater as indicating by many of the posts. But my thought are honest- special needs children in the foster system have very low odds of ever having a normal life; special needs raised by a homosexual couple will have social troubles too (ref Dr Robert Oscar Lopez). If you where the state, where would you place the children?

Are the men even gay or is this like the “handsome” lead in the show about the homos that “normalized” such lifestyles?

Are they actually a “couple”?

Is that really their “daughter”?

Or is this all a bunch of “let’s pretend” like the notion of same sex marriage is altogether?

Maybe Houston’s Mayor Anus Pucker can appear in the American version of this ad.

“When I asked what happened, the tour guide said they switched to a private label. I asked: “Same beans?”. Answer: “Yes”. Clearly, store brands could be different, but often aren’t.”

The same thing goes for clothes, and many other non-clothes items. It probably will make highbrow shoppers upset to know this, but, many of those “high-dollar, “Brand Name” clothing items they pride themselves on come from the same pile as the lesser-priced ones. Prior to labeling. Personally, I think Satan exploits the proud in this.
