So when I logged onto my computer this morning, the first article that caught my attention was this one ( Cheerios Stands ) about a new commercial Cheerios has out. They are getting a ton of negative feedback for this commercial and I'm just not understanding why. So basically, people are upset because this is a white mother, a black father and a biracial child. What's the big deal? I know that it isn't a common thing to see in a TV commercial but what's the big deal? I really don't think that biracial couples are uncommone these days so I'm not really understanding why they are getting such negative feedback for this commercial. I give a ton of props to Cheerios/General Mills for not pulling the ad. They could do that and that would be easy and would end the negativity but they are not going to do that. Good for you. There is no reason why this ad should not be aired. By the way, I think the commercial is cute and funny and I proba...
Oh, Parenthood is one of our favorite shows; the whole family enjoys this one. And you are right, it just hits home for so many people!
ReplyDeleteForgot to say that I am visiting from the Fab Friday link-up. :)
DeleteI've really been wanting to catch up on Parenthood - I watched through the third season on Netflix, but I couldn't start watching the current season on TV because I didn't want to start in the middle . . . but everyone keeps talking about it and now I'm impatiently waiting for it to show up on Netflix. Argh! :-)
ReplyDeleteHi I'm visiting from the Fab Friday linkup. Glad to hear there's another Parenthood & Scandal fan out there. I haven't watched the episodes of both but plan to do so tomorrow :) Have a great weekend! -Jessica
