Geez, I wonder what new flavors they’re coming out with for these folks.........
PLEASE PLEASE tell me that is not a real can of dog penis, please!
Because they are aiding in the acceptance of the notion that something that is deviant is normal, especially as it affects the family.
There is no room in society for gay couples raising kids. If there were, then we’d be able to reproduce asexually, or homosexually.
We can’t. There’s a reason for it. A home with one mommy, two mommies, one dad, or two dads isn’t normative societal behavior, and it shouldn’t be embraced.
You can buy the soup and help them spread the notion that it is, or not buy the soup and not help them spread the notion that it is.
I’m not advocating one approach or the other, but I’m explaining how somebody can take umbrage with the fact that Campbell’s soup is running ‘two mommy’ ads in the Advocate.
For me, if I were Cambell’s Soup, I wouldn’t have done it. Not worth the hit to goodwill to pick up a slim fraction of 1 percent of a market segment. I mean it is LESS than one percent of 1 percent.
It’s about money AND promotion of the agenda.
The agenda is making money. Nothing else.
...for the life of me, I can’t understand the emphasis on ‘gay’ and lesbian when they represent, at most, 3 to 5% of any population (save San Franscisco)...
I'm not sure what "mainlining the behavior" means, but whatever it is, why would they want to do that? They're just trying to sell soup to gays. I saw nothing in that article that indicated that they were doing anything other than doing targeted ads to them.
http://www.campbellsoupcompany.com/csr/nourish_advertising.asp
Their advertising “philosophy” is here.
“We strive to place our television advertisements within age-appropriate programming, and to avoid programming that contains gratuitous displays of violence, sex or profanity; disparages any religious, ethnic or political group; or implies that Campbell supports specific points of view.
We use very special care and consideration when advertising to children...”
Appreciate the info. I’d just cleaned out the pantry the other day (a lot of long out-of-date items had managed to accumulate in the back), with the intention of re-stocking my canned goods. I’ve bought Campbell’s soups for decades, but this time I’ll definately opt for other brands.
They're insulting because Campbell's is a FOOD company. And taste buds don't have gay sex or hetro sex, or S&M sex, or swinging from a trapeeze sex. Taste buds taste.
And that's what Cambells needs to advertise - food that taste good. Not what kind of sex the people eating it are having.
I don't want to know how various people who eat soup wipe their bottoms either.
I don't need if the people are rich or poor - or middle class. I need to see that the food taste good.
If Campbell's is going to continue with these ads, what about cross dressers? Or people who pee on themselves? Shouldn't they have a place in a soup ad?
The old soup ads didn't mention sex - when you saw a teenager, man, or woman - the one thing the ad told you was the soup was good.

Wife’s already been making her own soup. Campbell soup inventory is down to about 2 cans. When that’s gone Campbells is gone. I hate giving up Peppridge Farm stuff and Prego, but I’ll do it.
What is this compulsion by businesses to cater to groups whose identity is defined by their sexual preference? One would think neutral would be the smart play.
They are a demographic that is easily defined. If you can define a group, then you can market to a group. If you can market to a group, then you can increase sales. It’s a “no brainer.”
I’m looking forward to the Campbell’s Bestiality Line of foods......
....screw the chicken.....then have it for dinner!
The soup in the queer magazine was Cream of Sumyunggi.
Must be targeting the Chinese market?
Pulled Pork Soup
Cream of Poopshoot Soup
One of my own was: Jerked Gerkin Chowder
When will they start marketing to the NAMBLA sickos? Please tell me.
I stopped buying Campbells products some time ago, since they endorse illegal immigration. That they would now endorse homosexuality doesn’t really surprise me.
No Campbells products in my house. Absolutely none.
There must be some way to get it....and the email of the advertising/PR people.
A GOOD product will appeal to all groups. Period.
