That’s a cute ad, but some people are always on the lookout for something to be offended about.

I've seen the commercial and wondered what the purpose was--why did General Foods go out of its way to show an interracial couple? Were they trying to show how "enlightened" they are or were they hoping for controversy which could then be denounced as racist?

I don't think they would have shown an interracial couple where the husband was white and the wife was black. That would have gotten negative feedback from groups they don't want to offend.

Smart of the little girl to find a way to avoid having to eat the Cheerios. Not sure how long 'mom' is going to like cleaning up Cheerios off the sheets.

How dare they imply that 'dad' is going to be the one to have a heart attack. (was he black or white or asian or what?). Another case of women trying to prove their superiority by showing that men are stupid and prone to early heart attacks.
