A J&B Blended Scotch Whisky commercial from Spain is "bringing people to tears with its message of love and acceptance," Today reported.
The description of the ad on YouTube — via Google Translate — reads, "At J&B we want everyone to be able to celebrate at Christmas, without anyone being left out. But, sadly, on these dates, many people from the LGTBIQ+ collective feel uncomfortable or rejected in their own families and cannot celebrate with them. For this reason, we have made this Christmas story starring a grandfather and his family."
What are the details? The ad begins with the grandfather trying to learn how to apply makeup to his face without his wife finding out as a version of the song “She" plays in the background, Today noted.

After multiple attempts, Today said the grandfather finally "studies himself in the mirror, sporting a full face of expertly applied makeup."

"At first, it seems like the commercial is about the grandfather exploring his own identity — but then comes the emotional twist," Today continued.
Family members soon arrive at the grandparents' house for Christmas dinner — including 26-year-old "Alvaro."

The grandfather motions for Alvaro to come with him — and the pair enter a bathroom, after which the grandfather locks the door.
With that, the grandfather "uses his newfound makeup skills to lovingly transform his grandchild’s look, applying a beautiful, bold red lip, blush and winged eyeliner," Today said.

Finally, Alvaro and the grandfather emerge from the bathroom — and "Alvaro" has become "Ana" and is "appearing to come out to the family as transgender," Today added.

"The family is surprised at first, but a second later, Ana's mother stands and embraces her, moved to tears, and the rest of the family looks on with love and approval," Today said in its description of the commercial.
The ad's only clear connection to J&B is a shot at the end showing a bottle on the dinner table along with family members drinking it.
She, un cuento de J&B youtu.be
How are folks reacting to the ad? Today said the commercial — which was posted two weeks ago and has received 1.7 million views on YouTube as of Monday morning — has "deeply touched many viewers."
The program noted the following comments:
“What a twist at the end — I couldn’t stop crying. If only there was this much love and acceptance in all families and around the world.” “I literally cannot get through this without bursting into tears. I am sobbing, this is such a beautiful message.” “I would have given anything to have received acceptance like that when I was growing up. I’m so glad the world is evolving!” But not every commenter saw it that way, as among the newest reactions include:
"Disturbing." "Absolutely disgusting." "I wish companies would stop with this crap."

Well that should help their sales... NOT
Gag me with a spoon.
Message is mother and grandma can’t do makeup? Takes a man.!?
Message is grandpa is buggering his grandson?
You and/or society can program a developing child into any mold through validation...
It’s sad but true.
Skipping the alcohol and getting straight to the vomit.
Brings anguish that our society has degraded to this level. I suppose folks could drown their misery in a bottle of booze.
“bringing people to tears with its message of love and acceptance,”
I was listening to a young woman who had transitioned to being a “boy” and then detransitioned to a woman again.
She said that all of her friends and family except for her grandfather went along with her being a boy. Grandfather was respectful, but still used her birth name, called her “her”, etc.
She said once she came out of the trans-cult she realized that she could only trust her grandfather as the one who loved her enough to say what was true and right.
Have they ever considered spirit attachment by a spirit of the opposite gender?
While it is not the norm, I have encountered it in the past.
Grandson is well along the path to a career stealing peoples’ luggage at airports.
I was really looking to buy a whiskey that celebrates boys trying to turn themselves into girls…
Wait, no I wasn’t
The Big Mew says he’s not surprised.
Their product needs all the help it can get.
Excellent.
I’m still laughing!
Possible captions:
“Worst Christmas ever.”
“Let’s get drunk and pretend he shouldn’t be under the care of a doctor.”
Worldwide testosterone levels are down 50%. This should be an emergency causing a desperate search for the cause. Unfortunately the effects of low T are creating the exact paradigm that the elites want- androgynous worker bees.
Backstory:
Grandpa grooming and molesting his grandson, just like he did the father, who committed suicide, which is why he’s not in the advert.
This isn’t love. This is evil. This is forcing deviant behavior down our throats as normal.
