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.

“TV is not reality.”
Thanks for bursting my bubble; all of those scenes of racial harmony and stupid white men were giving me hope for the future...
One aspect of reality I DO see on TV: On English-language channels, commercials completely in Spanish are starting to appear. They’re not even hiding the demographic nightmare anymore...
That poor child. Talk about starting out in life with the deck stacked against you.
I love that “untreated mental patients.” You are a smart cookie.
I guess I will have to go back to Kellog’s OKs. Oh wait, they haven’t made that in years!
I’m going with Joe’s O’s (Trader Joe’s). I like ‘em.
grossssssssssssssssssssssssss we don’t need the mental image here. Give it to those oh so important independent voters that Karl Rove brags about. I GET IT.
Two things...yes,the girl is adorable.Most kids are.But will she be adorable after 15...20...25 years of having seen her “parents’” depravity? And second,I thought that it was well established by American Marxists that white people were absolutely,irretrievably,unqualified to raise black children.Or is the exception to that rule when the white people are filthy perverts?
Corporate American is into MAKING MONEY, nothing else. If they can hit a "new" market or rev up an old market, they will do so.
Their ONLY agenda is MAKING MONEY. Nothing new here.
Besides, they know that too many Americans are spineless fools who are 100% afraid of saying anything to anyone.
OT,
But the insurance ad with the old guy with a dollar bill on his fishing pole cracks me up! Maybe the two girls in the ad are lesbos?
Life doesn’t imitate art, it imitates bad television.

But the generics for the most part, taste like cardboard.
No damned advertising brought me to Cheerios anyway...except maybe back in the fifties.

Sadly, most of the store brands are produced by the same company as the major brands. I received a tour of the Stokley company and saw cans of string beans whizzing by so fast, all you could discern was the green color of the labels. Then, without pause, the labels turn red. 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.
Thanks; I genuinely pity them aas such (and their loved ones who have to deal with it), but have no interests in letting the lunatics run the asylum.
To get a realistic view of how sick they are, talk to cops who deal with them; you’ll be disgusted - and realize how absurd the “normalization” campaign really is. Here in NJ we had a past governor afflicted with this (with a “normal” family and all), and it opened a lot of eyes when he resigned.
You’ll notice a difference; I don’t know how far up the chain General Mills reaches (or if they are just another customer of the same supplier).
How can you say that? Look how well Obama turned out...oh...never mind.
You know what’s really upsetting? The toothpaste is out of the tube. Gay mRriage is here to stay. But still the push push push as well as the freaking glorification.
These guys didn’t do anything heroic. Our troops do. But GM wants to be seen as cool.
Companies other than GM make comparable products.
