sure I buy it just for the next time as a show of support and help offset what I am sure will be some of the "Holy People" refusing to buy it now.

at the very end, the woman looks cozy with another woman on the sidewalk. Nice. I'm loving these ads that are addressing the current social climate (like the mixed-race Cheerios ad and several others that don't even mention the same-sex couples that make up the families depicted.)

6. what gets me about that Cheerios ad

is that there have been plenty of interracial couples in other ads in the past - white man/Asian woman and vice versa, Hispanic man and white or black woman, or some combo of those three.

However, when it was a black man and a white woman for high profile Cheerios, suddenly a crazy and vocal minority is outraged. (and bravo to Cheerios for making a sequel to that original ad)

I thought the joke was not that she was a lesbian, but that she had armed herself with her Tide To Go and set out on roving anti-stain patrol.

Did not mean to be flippant or rude. I do not know if it works but am willing to give it a try.

He seldom makes it through the day without something spilling onto his shirt and he is very supportive of gay marriage
cute commercial
