The Campbell's Soup Ad

Post by Darrell »

The ad plays on the Star Wars' "Luke, I am your father" theme, with two gay dads both saying it to the little boy who's having Campbell's Soup. I'm sorry, maybe I'm a troglodyte, but that ad bothers me. What say you?

The Chewbacca bit at the end really puts the point on the exclamation, so to speak.

That's pretty fucking gay, alright. More shit from the relative morality crowd that preach inclusion and tolerance, unless it is something that they disagree with, of course.

Apparently by kissing their sister.

To be quite honest, the only thing that bothers me about this is that, like most commercials of this type, it's painfully saccharine and corny. They could've done a similar commercial with a straight couple and it'd still be "gayer than AIDS."

It just might backfire. Call it the Trump effect. People are really getting fed up with a lot of different shit.
There must be an end to this intimidation by those who come to this great country, but reject its culture.

[Mod hat on]

Gentlefolks, please be sure your comments are about the ad, or society, or soup, or whatever, and not simply an expression of antipathy towards homosexuals.

Dennis:
Here in the US the left wing LGBT crowd and Social Justice Warriors as they are known here, has pretty much infiltrated and taken over a lot of institutions of education and culture. They've been abusing children and adult students more and more. People have been pulling their students out os schools to avoid them and they recent these tax eaters greatly. The "gay" community thought everything would be just fine with gay marriage on the agenda, but now the word gay and homosexual means left wing pedophile.
The word "Tolerance" of Homosexuals now means enabler of insane pedophiles in the US and smug, "I'm better than you 'cause I'm tolerant" positions doesn't go very far here anymore.
