Add another to the list of gay-friendly advertisers — Chobani. The Greek yogurt company has released a romantic, undeniably hot commercial featuring a same-sex couple.
Like Wells Fargo’s recent commercial, a lesbian couple is featured, but Chobani has added a lot more sizzle.
A beautiful woman sits in bed and licks the yogurt from her spoon. She tickles the foot of her partner, whose back is to the camera, and then hops out of the bed, with only a sheet, loosely draped around her nude body. The beckoning blue sea is just outside the window.
Then comes the reveal. The camera moves in on the waking face of her partner — a woman. She’s smiles lovingly, and we see the wedding ring on her finger.
Sold. Or not.
Commercials portraying same-sex couples have drawn the wrath of the conservative right-wing. In response to Wells Fargo’s ad, televangelist Franklin Graham made a public show of closing his accountsat the bank. It was later revealed Graham’s new bank, BB&T is gay-friendly, as well, and has even sponsored a Miami Gay Pride fundraiser.
In a post on his Facebook page, Graham rails at “… the tide of moral decay that is being crammed down our throats by big business, the media, and the gay & lesbian community.”
The Wells Fargo commercial is tame in comparison to Chobani’s steamy ad. The yogurt company seems intent on pushing the envelope and has prominently displayed the ad on its website with a caption, “To Love This Life Is To Live It Naturally.”
A spokesperson for Chobani told the Huffington Post “As part of our founding mission to make better food for more people, inclusiveness is at the heart of Chobani. We’re proud that our products are enjoyed by all and we celebrate that diversity whenever — and however — we can.”
I’m no marketing expert but I would think that a male gay couple would be more appropriate for Greek yogurt.
Lol. This commercial would give me disturbing images of munching cheese off of the carpet.
Advertisers: you had better hope that the <2% of the population that is gay will bring you enough new business because you low-lifes will LOSE MY business!
Saw this biker looking chick with the “muscle” shirt at the mall the other day at the mall yelling at her “sweetheart” who was equally unattractive. They either need to use real lesbos or don’t bother.
My last two in the fridge are my last two.
No more for me! I think I liked it better when my Greek grandmother used to make it years ago.
It would have been more believable if the lesbians were fat and ugly.
At least they could have used a couple of lipstick lesbians.
I won’t buy that yogurt again, but am getting tired of all sexual images in ads, feminine products, ED adds and a whole slew of others with 1/2 naked people, even cars are into it...yuk.
Heres how you script a Gay commercial
Two gym rat metro liiking guys in a cinvertable driving up PCH with the wind in their hair.
Car pulls into a parking lot
Guys walk hand in hand to the elevator
Doors close as the two embrace
Doors upen and the ‘couple walk down a hallway (tight camera angle on their asses)
“Couple turns a corner and enters a room
Room is an ICU with a full blown AIDS patient in the final seconds of coding complete with respirator, multiple IVs and the rest
Fade to black with the EKG one note drone.
Fade in to the words “Truth in advertizing”
The cute ones are just models.
That’s what I posted on FB. Show real lesbians eating your yogurt or doing whatever lesbians do with yogurt.
