I just love it when a company embraces their LGBT, customers by including them in an ad and the conservatives do the marketing for them.

When was the last time Campbell's made the news? Yet here we are 60+ posts deep talking about Campbell's Soup. I'd consider this an advertising and marketing success.

Can't wait for the 1 Million Mom's to come out boycotting Campbell's.

I quit buying Campbell's soup because of what they put in it and not how they sell it.

I doubt the majority of people really care. To a Liberal its some sort of social victory, like Transgenders using restrooms, or building a little bridge for red squirrels to cross a road. To religious people it may attack their ideal family image. To me and most people it's a non player in our soup buying decision.

Could have been a fruit loops commercial, I still would not care.. but I bet it would have gotten a litte more rag time.

lol..Campbell's Soup is now considered an "LGBT friendly product" whatever the hell that means.
Not like cans or boxes jump off the shelf and attack them.

What does perversion have to do with selling anything?
Be careful you don't get any gay cooties when you leave your bubble.

Campbells has wisely recognized that Christian fundamentalists are a dying breed. And like mastodons mired in tar pits, they are bellowing their impotent rage as they sink into historical irrelevance.

In a generation or two, all you're going to hear from Christian fundies is "glub, glub...."

Dead people don't buy soup.

And SSM will simply become part of the New Norm and evolved folks won't care a whit.

And they will all buy and enjoy, Campbells soup.

Canned soup is dying due to the changing habits of North American people.

A great topic for a soup commercial.
Heh.

Hard to say which take on the commercial is more wholesome.
