Corp. Dependent on Families Show Contempt for Family Values (Tylenol good for gay "backaches")
Family Research Council | 07/07/2005 | Tony Perkins' Washington Update

Posted on 07/07/2005 4:04:57 PM PDT by Responsibility1st

It baffles me how some major corporations, whose success depends on the support of American families, show contempt for the values of such families. I am currently awaiting responses from two major corporations to letters I sent pointing out such inconsistencies. Wal-Mart, which has historically been responsive to pro-family concerns, continues to sell a Carmen Electra video promising a "striptease-inspired workout" that "introduces you to the striptease basics." Meanwhile, Kraft Foods has paid $25,000 to sponsor the "Gay Games" in Chicago this summer--an event known as much for after-hours sexual activity as for on-field athletic competition. And now, FRC has discovered yet another example of corporate devotion to the homosexual agenda.

A full-page ad for Tylenol PM pain reliever appears in the July 19 issue of the pro-homosexual magazine The Advocate. It shows a photo of two bare-chested men lying beside each other in bed. Under one is the caption, "His backache is keeping him up." Under the other is the caption, "His boyfriend's backache is keeping him up." Tylenol is produced by Johnson & Johnson--the same company that makes the famous baby powder. Contact Johnson & Johnson CEO William C. Weldon at 732-524-0400 or through the website below to let him know you are offended by this amoral advertising strategy.

I guess I won't ever be using Tylenol ever again, since I've never had that sort of "backache".

Either boycott the products or live with it. Your choice.

I guess only homosexuals are supposed to "act-up" when they see something they don't like - eh?

Poppycock. Get LOUD about it.

Wow, they're advertising headache medicine to gay people--don't they know gays should just endure headaches?

This is silly. Gays are here, and they're not going anywhere. As long as they keep their business to themselves, fine--battle law changes, battle normalizing gay relationships as being the equal of marriage, don't let them introduce their agenda in the classroom.

But are we so small that we don't want gays to get headache relief?

If a person were injured by the side of the road, I'd ask if he needs help--I wouldn't ask "Are you gay?" first. This kind of thing is juvenile and hateful, and it disperses our focus. We should be counter-protesting ACT UP, stopping them from teaching their crap to our kids, etc. This childish stuff wastes valuable time and effort.

Tell me again how absurd the idea is that a large chunk of America won't be happy until we live in a theocracy.

After-hours "pole vault?"

Voice of Al Michaels: "Tonight's pole vault competition is brought to you by ZIMA, yes ZIMA, the drink for following up stiff competition. ZIMA, when you want 'zomething in my ass'".

Voice of John Madden: "Al, for those viewers who are morons, the obective of pole vaulting is to vault over a horizontal pole with a vertical pole."

I'll use Tylenol when they are allowed to sell in the U.S. the more effective codeine laced versions our U.K. friends and many others are free to buy over the counter.

Um, I don't think anyone thinks "gays should just endure headaches". I think the poster's point is that this advertisement is normalizing homosexual behavior.

Ahh, but you see that is what is at issue. They WON'T keep to themselves. They keep chipping away at moral standards, and won't stop until their moral, political, ethical standards are the norm.

don't let them introduce their agenda in the classroom.

Little by little, inch by inch, the gay agenda is moving forward. This post is NOT about denying them headache relief. It's just to point out how one side of the cultural war is making progess.

Awww. You don't get it, do you? You must be about 17 years old. To us older folks, such ads are offensive. Look it up if you can't imagine what it means.
