Tylenol Commercial Applauds ‘Gay Families’

HuffPost Gay Voices did their usual happy dance Thursday over a new Tylenol commercial that prominently featured gay and lesbian couples alongside real families and real couples.

Part of their new #HowWeFamily campaign, which supposedly "aims to celebrate the diversity of modern families," the commercial features a lesbian couple posing for a prom photo and two homosexual men posing as fathers while holding a baby.

"When did you first fight to be considered a family?" a voiceover asks. "When you fell in love? When you got married? When you had kids? Family isn't defined by who you love, but how."

Directed by Dustin Lance Black, Academy Award-winning screenwriter of Milk — the film that chronicled the life of gay activist Harvey Milk and failed to show any of his secret life as a pederast — the commercial will air on TV next week, launching a three-month campaign that will include "docu-shorts" on 10 U.S. families who represent the "changing face of the American family."

In an interview with Advertising Age, Manoj Raghunandanan, senior director of marketing for Johnson and Johnson's McNeil Consumer Healthcare, said the ad celebrates how "families look and feel different [now] than they did before" and that it's important to "reflect what that family is today."

Tylenol has already swum in these pro-gay waters before. Last holiday season, their "For What Matters Most" commercial profiled a pair of lesbians acting as moms while arrogantly exclaiming "our definition of family is now expanding."

These a$$holes like Ford, Macy’s, JC Penny did the gay thing in the past and their sales went south. They’re pandering to 5% of the population and a far greater share of consumers like me boycott their products.

Take aspirin - it prevents heart disease and cancer and costs about a penny for one pill.

As most of us peasants are reduced to shopping at Wal-Mart and buying strictly essentials, these big names, far beyond the reach of many Americans, are simply trying to get small, short-lived boosts with blatant pandering (Who markets to a population that can’t breed?).

In the end they’ll either sell their products to Asia’s rising middle class or go out of business; there simply isn’t much of a market for over-priced junk here in the US anymore.

Why do businesses feel the need to do this? Fear of being sued?

That commercial was heartbreaking! They should be forced to use real lesbians in those things.

I always imagine that the little girl acknowledges her new “mommies” and then signs “now where is my daddy?”

“Family isn’t defined by who you love, but how.”

Good to know an 18 year old boy can now marry a 12 year old girl. Or his dog. Or 6 guys. As long as it is “love”...

Nothing like seeking out the “2-percenters” for special praise.

And lets be honest for a moment here: homosexual sex is about who you screw, not who you love.

The Food and Drug Administration is recommending that health professionals stop prescribing combination drugs that contain more than 325 milligrams of acetaminophen per tablet, capsule, or other dosage unit, citing the risk of possible liver damage.

The agency said in a statement Tuesday that limiting the amount of acetaminophen per dosage unit will reduce the risk of severe liver damage from an inadvertent acetaminophen overdose, which can lead to liver failure, liver transplant, and death. ...-

*********

Combining acetaminophen pain relievers, which include Tylenol, and even light amounts of alcohol can more than double the risk of kidney disease, new research suggests.

Taking the recommended dose of acetaminophen, combined with a small to moderate amount of alcohol, produces a 123 percent increased risk of kidney disease, according to a new preliminary study. ...

**********

... Even when taken at recommended doses, acetaminophen, the primary active ingredient in Tylenol, can cause major damage to the liver, potentially leading to liver failure and even death. In fact, acetaminophen is currently the leading cause of sudden liver failure in the U.S., as its toxic metabolites have been shown to kill liver cells. The drug is so toxic that as many as 80,000 people are rushed to the emergency room annually due to acetaminophen poisoning, and another 500-or-so end up dead from liver failure. ...

I have had a difficult time finding 325s for a while and that is the dosing I like to use.

I haven’t seen that commercial, but it might be nice, especially if the deaf kid is an older child.

It is a well known fact, do some research. Colon cancer in particular.

Why would anyone buy brand name Tylenol when the generic works just as well and costs half as much?
