Cheerios commercial's racist backlash

[Thundercrack85]

I knew there was a reason I loved Cheerios.

Now if only Lucky Charms had a commercial with a gay couple.

An interracial gay couple. That'd crash youtube.

Wrong...Rice Krispies...it's got three guys on the cover and we never see them with women and they go snap, crackle and popt:t:t:t:

What has this thread turned into!? t:

Move over Pedobear...Pedorabbit.

I don't like the implication.

The most offensive thing about the commercial is that little girls acting.

Here's a McDonald's one that's always stood out to me:



And as everyone here as said - youtube is a haven for phobic -ist pricks.

In real life though, Snap and Pop are only gay-for-pay though.

I hate YouTube trolls. They're so brave when they're anonymous when you know behind the monitor they're probably just meek losers who are scared of their own shadows.

This advert gets on my nerves. It implies that parents are supposed to be your best friends but they're not of course everyone is gushing over it.

I think the overall message is "play with your damn kids".

The disciplining comes with the territory but some parents don't take the time to play with their kids.

Such a simple thing means more to a human being than parents realize.

His gay-dar needs new batteries.

I feel like if that commercial debuted in the US, we wouldn't be discussing all the uproar with it implying the young man was gay, but whether he was born that way or it is a product of his situation, with there being no girls in his class.

I think the first gay commercial i noticed was the Kindle commercial

With one eye closed and the other partially hidden behind my hand, I scrolled down to the comments section of that video.

The top 2 comments were pretty damn hilarious-- in a good way.

Kinda shocked people actually would look up a Cheerios commercial on YouTube in the first place.

It probably was spread around on facebook.

You are, when there is a dancing nobody who scored over a billion views?

Some of the Yahoo comments I flipped through basically were like, "why couldn't the guy be white and the woman black? They're just pushing some agenda."

 

[Lencho01]

This is the cream cheese commercial I was talking about...

Men are very protective of their women.

and when I say "their women" I mean complete strangers who happen to share the same skin color.

Move over Pedobear...Pedorabbit.

That's your response to talk about gay cereals?

 

[Pink Ranger]

I may be treading on dangerous territory here, but we all seem to be assuming that the racist backlash against this commercial is solely coming from racist white people. That may not be the case.

 

[Manic]

Pink Ranger's right. This is a commercial featuring a black man married to a white woman. There's probably an army of angry black women who hate it more passionately than the KKK.
