Add another to the list of gay-friendly advertisers — Chobani. The Greek yogurt company has released a romantic, undeniably hot commercial featuring a same-sex couple.
Like Wells Fargo’s recent commercial, a lesbian couple is featured, but Chobani has added a lot more sizzle.
A beautiful woman sits in bed and licks the yogurt from her spoon. She tickles the foot of her partner, whose back is to the camera, and then hops out of the bed, with only a sheet, loosely draped around her nude body. The beckoning blue sea is just outside the window.
Then comes the reveal. The camera moves in on the waking face of her partner — a woman. She’s smiles lovingly, and we see the wedding ring on her finger.
Sold. Or not.
Commercials portraying same-sex couples have drawn the wrath of the conservative right-wing. In response to Wells Fargo’s ad, televangelist Franklin Graham made a public show of closing his accountsat the bank. It was later revealed Graham’s new bank, BB&T is gay-friendly, as well, and has even sponsored a Miami Gay Pride fundraiser.
In a post on his Facebook page, Graham rails at “… the tide of moral decay that is being crammed down our throats by big business, the media, and the gay & lesbian community.”
The Wells Fargo commercial is tame in comparison to Chobani’s steamy ad. The yogurt company seems intent on pushing the envelope and has prominently displayed the ad on its website with a caption, “To Love This Life Is To Live It Naturally.”
A spokesperson for Chobani told the Huffington Post “As part of our founding mission to make better food for more people, inclusiveness is at the heart of Chobani. We’re proud that our products are enjoyed by all and we celebrate that diversity whenever — and however — we can.”
In your and my world!
HA!
LOL
#10. Yogurt is “cultured”, isn’t it? And if it is happy, so much the better for the eater.
Also makes a great spackle for small putty jobs.
Oy KC....please give us some advance warning before posting something like that. What has been seen cannot be unseen.
Pardon while i go pluck out my eyeballs....
To #18. You owe me a chicken sandwich, which I had for dinner, twice.
LOL!
I have a friend who is a prof at a local college. He was in the cafateria one day and a lesbian co-worker was passing by his table with a pear on her plate. He said......”Hey, nice pear.”
She reported him to head office.
They have NO sense of humor (and, yes, I’m a gal).
Now featuring our two newest flavors!
Tuna & Mackerel
Oh great..rainbow flavored yogurt....
...and I liked Chobani until tonight!...
Maybe they can get Benghazi Clinton to do an ad for them ... cruising a gay bar drunk and dragging a drunk Progressive college chick home for some “yogurt”.
Fixed it.
OK, bye-bye chobani. I never want that mental image again.
One or both. I've seen some super fugly lesbo couples in my time.
More Chick’Fil-A type businesses should step up their own message. Push back.
The market will decide.
Like the NAACP fraud, they may be gay-for-pay.
I had just started buying Chobani as a nice morning treat at work.
Done with that!

LOL! Perfect!
The one on the left looks like Meatloaf.
