This Cheerios Commercial Featuring a Gay Couple and Their Adopted Daughter Is Adorable

So those little “o’s”...symbolic for something else now... Who’d want a bowl of floating butt holes?

[longtermmemmory]

so there are only 2% who are homosexuals (and homosexuals include the prison population)

of those 2% less than 10% even have children in any manner. (late life decision to engage in homosexual conduct etc)

so general mills is pandering to a less than a FRACTION of 1% thinking the other 99.9 percent are not going to hurt their sales?

I mean the cops that have to root them out of the bushes at rest stops and such; they have an insight into reality (that could never be shown on TV) unlike many others.

[UCANSEE2]

For example I like chef boyardee canned spaghetti. Not too long ago I decided to buy the cheaper store brand canned spaghetti instead in order to save some money. It turned out to be horrible in comparison to chef boyardee.

I have noticed this with some products. My guess is that (to make it cheaper) they leave out the SUGAR.

When WE were all much younger, sugar wasn't prolific in our food. Then came the huge sugar cane plantations. Manufacturers started putting tons of sugar in EVERYTHING.

The 'trick' was to put a little salt and a lot of sugar into food products. You couldn't taste either one, because they cancelled each other out, but MAN, the food sure 'tasted' good, and for some reason you just couldn't get 'enough'. If you take them both out, most foods would not actually be as palatable.

And there seemed to be a little more sauce and less spaghetti too.

TRUE, as you say, depending on which store and where they get their product.

NOW, they not only give you less 'product' inside the can, but they are making the cans smaller.

Bleach comes in half-gallon now. 2-liter bottles of pop are down to 1-liter size bottles. Bars of soap are notoriously small.

We are getting cheaper crap in smaller portions and paying more.

Wow, our economy is just growing and growing(/s).

It’s hard to believe that so many of these cereal companies got their start in the 1800s as religious organizations.

So did most of our Ivy League universities, in the 1600s and 1700s.

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.

And then Christie signed the bill preventing children with unwanted same-sex attraction to receive therapy for it in the state of New Jersey. This is an improvement?

[PenguinM]

No longer Cheerios...they are now hom-o’s.

[UCANSEE2]

It’s like showing cannibals in Tuxedos eating at a properly prepared dinner table.

Like watching GAME OF THRONES.

[Buckeye McFrog]

(sigh)....I miss the days when they would market Cheerios by putting Roger Staubauch or Reggie Jackson on the box.

[alexander_busek]

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.

Well, obviously, the "Selection Effect" would mean that the police would always have a bad opinion about any group you asked them about.

Their narratives always begin with: "___ [insert name of group] are horrible people! Everytime we are called to a domestic dispute scene involving ____, they're shouting abuse at each other, they're heavily alcoholized, etc."

The police simply aren't called in when the perps are sweet, well-mannered people.

Maybe I’ve missed it, but I have not seen anything suggesting a connection between the new plague descending upon us and our ever accelerating moral descent.

Sarcasm? To what "new plague descending upon us" are you referring? Ebola? You can spot a "connection" between cases of Ebola in the U.S. and the morality of the American people?

I know of several really good rest stops on the interstate that had to close because of “crime”. The real story was they were overrun by homos, so few people stopped there anymore, preferring a nasty filling station restroom rather than running a homo gauntlet.

[all the best]

A country that increasingly embraces moral and spiritual filth will, one way or another, knowingly or unknowingly, consciously or otherwise, embrace physical/hygienic filth. Embracing moral disease opens you to physical disease. In short, this country has been asking for it. Darkness is darkness. Yes, I was referring to ebola. Thought that was obvious.

[kearnyirish2]

It is; our former governor was evasive when asked about “romantic trysts” with strangers after he was elected.

Christie is no saint, but he is much better than the alternatives.

[kearnyirish2]

No, their graphic descriptions of what they come upon would sicken you. They won’t even touch the perps out of concern for their own health; it is messy business to say the least.
