Oh god. I mean, oh god, yes it's about time.
I just think a soup commercial is an odd place to insert a pro-gay message. The commercial is less about the soup and more about the two gay guys who adopted a kid. If I was into canned soup, and even if I was gay, I doubt this would make me want to try Campbell's. Overall this kind of stuff is random and comical to me, but I have a weird sense of humor.
I saw 2 parents enjoying time with their child. Guess I missed whatever made it a commercial with a political agenda.
How many brands of soup are at the store you shop at? Besides the store brand, Cambells is the only brand I have ever noticed. Any soup recommendation's?
That's usually not the goal of ads for well known brands. It's more simply associating Campbell's with happy families.
Sure you did.
I didn't see a political agenda. I saw it and said "oh, it's a gay couple". Whatever. And it's Star Wars, so that's always good.
Sure, they all are, but this one is unique because it's subtly co-opting what was until recently an extremely divisive issue. But clearly we're past the stage where this would hurt their bottom line, and they know it. You know there are people out there applauding the ad because of what they think it represents.
Sure but all advertising is designed to fool or mislead people. I get what you're saying but at least in this case the agenda is progressive. It's better than BP or whoever trying to convince us they give a #### about oil covered ducks.
Not all ads are designed to spin, lie or fool people. There's simple brand awareness ads, straight sales pitch ads, humorous ads and informative ads.
I can definitely see that happening.
