Re: new chobani (yogurt) commercial

Terrier, all kinds of loving families sounds good in theory, but they're starting to dismIss a traditional family. I have yet to see a study that says it's not the optimal way to raise kids.

Re: new chobani (yogurt) commercial

I watched the commercial but couldn't figure out the correlation between her coyness in eating a cup of yogurt in bed.  I wasn't bothered about the same sex couple as much as the illusion of bedroom activity  What, you can't sell yogurt with two women; two men, woman/man sitting at the kitchen table?

"Shoved down your throat?"

No one is asking YOU to change the way you live - it's just acknowledging that not everyone has the same family structure....I LIKE the emphasis on STABLE, loving families - vs. "junk shows" like some comedies on air now that feature bed hoppers for laughs.

Businesses don't make advertising decisions without analyzing how it will affect their bottom line.

You appear to now be in the minority.

I understand what you are saying. Every time we turn on the TV we see so much of the non-traditional lifestyles.  I feel like everyone is gay or transgender anymore. It seems as though the rest of us are in the minority.

I think the man playing the guitar on the beach, singing "i love this life" was between those two, hours before.  Weird commercial to sell yogurt, imo.

You have sacrificed nothing and no one.

Sleep easy then because you're not in the minority. You're just part of the human race.

Re: new chobani (yogurt) commercial

Yes indeed, Times are changing.  Acceptance and respect and open mindedness are the order of the day.  There is nothing new about same sax couples, that's a part of human nature that has always been with us.  Along with biases and prejudice and exclusion.  Well, that's all slipping away now.  We're accepting people for who they are.  Accepting our differences and respecting lifestyles that might be different from own.  It's a good thing.  I do understand that it's difficult for some people.  I think it's important to remember that accepting differences and letting people be who they are takes nothing away from anyone.
