I understand perfectly. Thanks."
Close but no cigar...I still am failing to communicate.
I have no problem with homosexuals or their lifestyle.
I do take issue with general consumer businesses flaunting any sort of sexuality based sales pitches in a medium that is readily available to impressionable children.
I would dispense with the euphemism regarding "lifestyle"...virtually all of the commercials for "family" consumer products ignore sexuality...perhaps because sexuality is simply not relevant.
A commercial about mayonnaise involving pre-teens does not need a sexual component to be effective.
In my opinion, anyone who thinks it does has a sick agenda.
The only important context here, contrary to your view apparently, is that my children may want to inquire of me about things like why are those kids calling that man mom? Or why are those two men kissing like you and mom do? Or who knows what.
If I choose to teach my children about homosexuality I want it to be just that…my choice. See I’m pro-choice. I don’t want my kids to be incited to inquire about an unnatural sexual choice in the context of a mayonnaise choice.
Oh, and if the choice of the adjective “unnatural” offends you, too bad. But the context in which I use it is that the biologically natural pupose of sex, contrary to culture today, is about procreation…homosexual activity does not have that natural capacity.
Thanks for reading.
You apparently don't comprehend the intentional ridiculousness of the whole scenario of the commercial, so no, I guess you wouldn't be able to explain it to your kids. It was supposed to be humor, but you saw man-lips touching and lost all ability to see beyond that.
Let's pretend instead that the commercial had featured a woman in a NY deli worker's uniform talking with the heavy-duty Brooklyn accent as she handed out lunches prepared with Heinz NY Deli Style Mayo to her proper British family. Does this help you see what the ad people were after?
