I highly doubt this would do well in the US, sorry folks, here yes, the rest, hmmm, not so much.
Beautiful story and yes, it is a bit of a Cherrios commercial.
Over the past few years, General Mills has positioned itself as something like the anti-Chick-fil-A, celebrating LGBT pride and vehemently opposing Minnesotas proposed gay marriage ban. All of that is very nicebut come on, this is 2014. If youre a food company and you havent made an adorable ad featuring a gay couple with their children, youre just another face in the pro-gay corporate crowd.
Luckily, General Mills has now decided to get with the program, releasing a commercial with a gay couple, their adopted daughter, and a bowl of Cheerios. And the ad is just as impossibly cute as you might expect.
