Dont worry tea partiers - the business world will force you into the 21st century. They will drag you into it, bible and all.
Why is it so hard for some people to grow up? Your point would have had much more force had you stated it like and adult and not a 5 year old. And please don't box all "right wingers" in the same box.
Shame on you, as I am sure there are some things other lefties believe that you don't.

Pandering as in appealing to, I would agree with. That's how advertising works. Engineering, if I'm understanding how you're using the term, not so much. They follow the trends, they don't create them.

Still social engineering for a buck. Trend? I don't think so.

Haha, my partner and I are committing the worst possible sin in the conservatives' book. We are a same-sex, interracial couple

Inventing a controversy just to get some recognition for a crappy ad. Nothing about the product or its benefits( or in this case its dangers). Just a completely unrelated issue having nothing to do with the product. Criminals and racists take Tylenol, too, don't forget them. In fact, I hear they LOVE it.

No...revulsion, disgust and utter shock at the cringeworthy sight of two blokes kissing in Christina Aguilera's "Beautiful" video - that was a natural, healthy and normal reaction that we had when we watched TRL after high school that day.


There was no premeditation involved; what was involved was a natural, healthy and normal reaction of revulsion and utter disgust. You people now have the audacity to imply our reaction(s) was unhealthy and sick when in reality what we were seeing was.


As I said earlier, you people know no bounds with your manipulation and agitprop; the Lenin quote earlier fits the situation perfect in this sorry country now just fine.

I don't have a problem with the ad, but it is political.

"When did you first fight to be considered a family" while showing two girls holding hands. Blatant political commentary of pro-gay marriage - which I support.


Tylenol made a decision to send a message and customers will also send another message of buying less, or more, or not caring.

I stopped using Tylenol years ago when people started having liver failure from using acetaminophen.

Frankly, I don't know why they'd need to make a commercial about families when they're selling an anti-inflammatory pain reliever.

I don't think about family when I reach for an aspirin or Advil.

I actually have flashbacks of the Tylenol poisoning episode back in the early 1980's which kicked off all medicines having that protective foil seal under the cap. Why would I want to give my family poison?

Honestly it doesn't matter at all what color skin 2 people have. What matters is that they are compatible. Like I've pointed out on other forums, I have no problems with black people, I do have problems with some of them and their culture, how they dress like they are in the ghetto and act overly aggressive. It's more about culture than about race.
