Anyone see the Tylonol commercial?

Where they celebrate same sex marriage and interracial marriage? I was shocked. I would think a company trying to sell a product would rather remain neutral on socially divisive issues. Their marketing department must be telling the Board of Directors that this is a winning ad.

    Like any product, they want to sell a feeling as part of their product (remember the Marlboro Man?) so rather than advertise what their product does, they include a bunch of subconscious cues. Unfortunately, when picking their cues the advertiser should pick ones that have more upside than downside. Appears I won't be investing in any Tylenol.

    The majority of Americans support same sex marriage. An, interracial marriage? Wow, that's still a concern? Time to realize just how out of step with reality you find yourself.

    That is probably the smartest thing they did concerning this ad.

    the wife and I were talking about the new wave of its Ok .
    she told me there is a yogurt commercial with two women in bed enjoying the company's product .
    have heard commercials different types of families now ( insurance company ) rattle off some examples one is a couple kids a few dogs and two mommies ..
    its out of the closet and in our life's the next generation will grow up with it and accept it more readily as they are taught and shown how normal it is . just as we have with interracial marriage and biracial kids its become so common no one even blinks any more.
    I would guess the Roman empire went thru a similar stage , just before the collapse

    You really need to find out what the word reality means before you start telling people how out of step they are.

    I'm not full of stars, and facts support my assertion. Interracial marriage isn't even on 99% of the public's thought process, and same sex marriage has gained legal support in the majority of first world countries, in including the USA. But, this is GB, so fact don't matter much.

    It is easy to think a lot of Americans support gun control when all the media outlets say so. Yahoo in particular, for one, is bad to censor any antihappy marriage statements. Tail humpers have their supporters, but usually another tail humper or a relative to a tail humper.

    It was voted down in California 60-40 and then we changed to state Constitution to prevent it from ever happening. You know what? We received no Gun Broker credit at all. Sellers continued to refuse shipping guns to California as though it had never happend.

    Aspen 79 se - Please note that I have not expressed a personal opinion on the issue of same-sex marriage or interracial marriage. I was merely pointing out my surprise that a company would take such a strong stance on such divisive issues. Like it or not recognize reality or not interracial marriage does remain a divisive issue with many people. But your personal insults directed towards me are misplaced as I have not expressed my opinion.

    Fact.

    Besides Doc is right in that companies who often are trying to sell to wide groups of customers and different people often stay in a middle of the road area with advertising. Most commercials out there are gained towards middle of the road "Normal" people. Otherwise they would lose there audience. More than likely with this commercial the company is desperate and doing something that they know is going to get their name printed in the headlines.....as a famous country singer once said, "the more they write my name down, the more my price goes up!"

    My take would be that they simply want their customer base to be as broad as possible. They would likely include walrus if they could.

    None of those drugs are good for you, except maybe 81 mg of aspirin if you need thinner blood. those long word drugs cause more damage to liver and kidneys than any other single source. Check out the cause of death of elderly people that have been taking Ace.. or Ibu... for extended times.

    A future * of America. Ain't he sweet!

    Perez Hilton is a happy with a capital "H."

    California (of all places) voted for Proposition 8 in 2008, upholding traditional marriage. So imagine how Texas or Arizona (or most states) would vote if given the chance.

    The happys are in tall cotton right now - but it could change back just as fast as it happened.

    I think it is very possible once they start attacking Christian churches and Synagogues and trying to destroy them.

    Marriage is a symbol of the relationship between Christ and the Church.

    To corrupt the typology by refusing to recognize that there are no limits to the Church and hence, then marriage, you are committing the same error as those who claim that same sex marriage is allowable, as well.

    Both are counterfeit approaches to the truth.


    I don't get your correlation, Barz. Would you dumb it down a little for me?
