That's exactly why they do it. Another commercial that does it is that State Farm one. Look, I have nothing against inter-racial or inter-cultural marriages but let's face it these commercials are made to do just as you mentioned.

No, it's social engineering.

So people are mindless automatons who only believe what they are fed by the media? The only reason there is support for marriage equality is because there are TV commercials supporting it?

Are you going to have a hard time when we start talking about transgender rights? (Think Bruce -> Caitlin Jenner.)

If you ask me, Tylenol is acting a shade desperate, and there isn't that much subtlety in that commercial. They're trying to make a comeback after some adversity, and in trying to do so, they're caving in to those demons on the left.

Might be good for business. Let's face it rational people tend to buy generic. The same damn thing for half the price. This ad differentiates them from their generic competition.

It's really not. Advertising execs make a pretty penny noting popular trends and then attempting to make their products appeal to folks. They aren't politicians or lobbyists. They follow trends, not the other way around.

Judging by reaction to this thread (and subsequent developments throughout America today) I'd say the gays more or less have won the war.


They have made their lifestyle (alternative as it were) for the most part "normal" in mainstream America. It's amazing to me...30-something, I remember watching TRL after high school back around 2000 and seeing the Christina Aguilera video with my boy and both of us literally almost cringing with disgust.


Now...eh, totally normal, and all....


Not much to say about it; I don't think it's normal in any way, and it never will be.

And two men kissing will ALWAYS induce me to vomit...no matter how much propaganda and indoctrination you ill-mannered people have the audacity to fling at us.

Generic costs like 70% less and is chemically the same.

That's why I don't buy Tylenol.
