Tylenol Further Explores the Changing Face of the American Family in New Ad | Adweek

Tylenol is continuing its celebration of diverse families with a new commercial from J. Walter Thompson in New York featuring same-sex and interracial couples.
Titled "How We Family," the ad is part of a broader effort to to challenge conventional—that is to say, conservative—definitions of family. Tylenol launched the campaign last fall by repurposing the classic holiday dinner scene in Norman Rockwell's painting "Freedom From Want," to profile contemporary families, including a lesbian couple who work closely with one woman's ex-husband to raise the children from both relationships.




*Is this a sign a non-nuclear family is becoming the "norm". What do you think? Is the Tylenol commercial pioneering???

Given the heat Cheerio's got with their interracial family, good luck to Tylenol.

And they had the adorable little Gracie!

I still don't know what the hoopla was over the Cheerios commercial---to get in an uproar about an interracial family in this day and age.

I find it odd that cereal companies and the makers of pain relief medicine feel it is their place or their duty to promote a social engineering agenda. At what level of these organizations are these efforts being directed from? Is there some sort of a connection between these companies at that level?

They never caught the person who put that in the capsules, that is why we have all the safety caps and stuff on the bottles now.

Me thinks there is a strong correlation between Tylenol pain relievers and sexually active male couples...

What's a "social engineering" agenda???


I mean if they recognize *different* families, won't *different* families identify with their product? Isn't that the point of an advertisement to target certain groups of people to buy their product? Tylenol is attempting to say they are "family friendly".
