Tylenol Puts Two Moms into Norman Rockwell Painting

Norman Rockwell's "Freedom from Want" is a classic painting of an American family sitting down for Thanksgiving dinner. Tylenol has given the painting a new twist, however, by using its setting to profile several diverse families, including one with two moms.

Equate brand works.

Tylenol is cleared through the Liver, the other two are cleared through the kidneys. Through the kidneys is safer in long term use.

Tylenol Munchers.?..

Some gay male ad pervert should be SLAPPED HARD..

[LucianOfSamasota]

So why stop at two moms?

They should have done three moms, a transgendered what, and a goat.

Show how open minded they really are.

Can his estate sue? I think Normal Rockwell would be horrified.

I hope they do.

Why is it these groups 'steal' classic - movies, paintings and such - and turn them to their own uses?

Let them create their own "classics."

I like my liver. I think I’ll pass on the Tylenol, thank you!

Exactly.

I certainly don’t know for sure, but he was an early supporter for civil rights for African Americans, so he may very well have approved of the ads.

Acetaminophen comes in other brands. Bye, Tylenol.

Generic Acetminophen is cheaper and has never included potassium cyanide from tampering. Why pay extra to support a company with perverse ads?

From the article:

For the new campaign, Tylenol enlisted the help of Abigail Rockwell, the painter's granddaughter, who introduces and closes each video.

Misleading title. Click on the link. The Rockwell painting isn’t really involved in this at all.

Now that is a real reason to never use Tylenol. Especially not for a hangover.

There is a Tide ad on now with two guys discussing laundry problems. I suppose one could think they are roomates but I doubt that is the interpretation the advertisers have.

"Somebody want to help out with the definitions here?"

I'm not a big Andrew "Dice" Clay fan, but he had the best definition I've ever heard on this topic.
Of course, I can't repeat it here.....

My wife has asthma. Generic works just fine. Cheaper too.

We need to see what other products are made by the makers of Tylenol and treat those accordingly.McNeil Consumer Products Company, a subsidiary of Johnson and Johnson. I’ll bet they make lots of OTC meds.

Hey that’s funny in this context, “Johnson and Johnson” ...

Natural laws learned over thousands of years were mocked, ridiculed, overturned, and even outlawed. Toward the end, homosexual drill sergeants prowled the barracks grooming receptive teenage recruits. Hey, we were told, it’s their business, and who are you to judge them? Later, they could get married in the post-interfaith worship center by a military spiritual advisor (“chapels” and “chaplains” having been purged from the lexicon for favoring the Christian faiths) and then move on to adopting children.

And finally, the last old-guard bunker to fall: the Boy Scouts, completing the cycle of government-approved sodomite corruption. For a century the Scouts were morally straight? According to whose definition of straight? So why shouldn’t adult homosexual Scout leaders share tents with teenagers in our brave new world? Don’t be a homophobe, we were told. Each child can make his or her own free choice about their gender identity, but now with helpful adult mentors to guide them along the formerly forbidden paths.

If it feels good, do it. Or have it done to you. Or even do it unto the little children. Tommy wants to become Tomasina before heading to kindergarten? Her brave new mommy agrees? A government-provided surgeon will perform the “gender reassignment” operation. And if kindergarten isn’t soon enough to put the kids on the unrepressed road to gender identification, then start them on Heather Has Two Mommies and Prince and Prince cartoon books in the government-subsidized day care centers.

Smiling experts assured us that we were merely throwing off the shackles of our repressed sexualities. Dissent is hate, and hate is not tolerated around here, mister, so shut up and get with the program. Well, I couldn’t get with the program, so I quit my public high school job. As a world history teacher, moving from a public school to a Christian academy (at less pay and fewer benefits) gave me a couple more years of insulation from the social wreckage cascading down.

I kept looking up for the big asteroid, but we didn’t need God to smite us from outer space. In the end, we smote ourselves with our hubris, believing that we were replacing God’s wisdom with our own. The proud decadence and in-your-face cultural perversions didn’t cause the Rupture, but they were surely flashing red signs warning that the end was near.

Do we know that this Abigail Rockwell controls Norman’s estate and licensing rights?

Do we have any evidence that Norman Rockwell ever spoke out in favor of Gay Marriage!

[NetAddicted]

Well, since older Americans are almost 100% against homosexual marriage, I’d be willing to bet, he’d be against it, too.
