A homosexual "married" couple is featured prominently with a young boy (their son) in the new Campbell's Soup advertisement. Campbell's #RealRealLife campaign aims to change the face of the American family. It starts off with the first man feeding soup to the little boy and in a "Star Wars" Darth Vader voice says, "Luke, I am your father." Then the other man enters the scene and says, "No, Luke, I am your father." How confusing for this little boy and for all children viewing this commercial. Obviously, Campbell's is sending the message that homosexual men are raising children, whom they wouldn't have if a woman wasn't involved, and they are ok with it.
Campbell's Soup is glorifying this unnatural marriage. One Million Moms believes family is based on love, but this does not justify normalizing sin. 1MM does not agree with the need for Campbell's to support same sex marriages or couples.
Companies should advertise the quality of their products. It is no longer about the product but about their cause. They should not be highlighting who is attracted to whom or who sleeps with whom. This is a marketing decision Campbell's will regret.
This gay-inclusive commercial is attempting to desensitize viewers. There is concern about the way this ad is pushing the LGBT agenda, but an even greater concern is the way that they are attempting to redefine "family" and "real marriage."

Yeah, In order to use Star Wars in their commercials they had to have the approval of Disney (Because Disney owns the rights now), and if Disney is ok with that then what would keep Disney from having similar messages on its other media. (Remember that Disney is a huge Multimedia company that owns studios, record companies, websites, tv stations, tv production companies...)
You know how many kids were raised by two adults of the same sex after WW II? A mom and an aunt, a mom and a grandmother, and-- in actual theaters of war-- a dad and a grandad, or two surviving uncles. Well, so long as the adults conduct themselves decently in front of the children, which all adults should do, this is the same damned thing.
Confusing the boy and viewers because they don't understand the dads are imitating a movie and playing a game? Not everyone is as stupid as your "million" moms. You believe family is based on love, except when the family doesn't fit your narrow definition.
Consider that you don't know the backstory. For all you know, the boy's birth mother was planning an abortion until the two men approached her and offered to pay her medical expenses if she carried the pregnancy to term, and then adopted the child. So, really, the commercial is a very pro-life message, where the boy had a chance to be born and raised by loving parents, who just happened to be the same gender.
"This is a marketing decision Campbell's will regret."
They really think most people are as petty and have as much time to get worked up about nothing as they do. Don't they?
Find something else to do.
My best friend has two dads. No, he's not confused.
I could be wrong, but I think most children actually can grasp how their own family works quite well. It's just when people start making an issue of it, they start getting confused.
"Obviously, Campbell's is sending the message that homosexual men are raising children, whom they wouldn't have if a woman wasn't involved, and they are ok with it"
Um, duh. And trying to sell soup. Which means that they and their marketing teams have reason to believe that this commercial will do. But the idea that anyone different than you has relevance doesn't stick inside your heads, does it One "Million" Impotent Shrills?
an even greater concern is the way that they are attempting to redefine "family" and "real marriage."
That's already been done. Get over it. What would confuse the little boy isn't having two dads - it's bigots like you telling him that his fathers have something wrong with them. Would you like someone telling your kids that their father is a pervert and a sinner who's going to hell?
Their "Successes" page is hilariously pathetic.
Gloating about such worthless victories as getting one company to stop funding Black Jesus. Or getting Neighbors With Benefits cancelled.
I think I've discovered who I'm going to be trolling today.
It was two dads doing impressions of Darth Vader...and it was adorable. Truly adorable!
Fuck off, OOMs. Find something else to get your collective (and apparently incredibly uncomfortable) underpants all in a bind over.
I bet when 7 Seconds of Love perform their tune "Soupy George":

The band's founder & frontman Joel Veitch doesn't care if the person in the audience wearing a soup can on their head is gay, straight, or bisexual.
He wouldn't give a toss if said can worn on the head was a Heinz one, or an own brand Tesco's, Asda, Morrison's, Sainsbury's or whatever, never mind Campbell's.
Or it's ingredients:
'Oxtail, chicken, mushroom, minestrone (Soup on yer head!)
Not even the mighty Coca Cola dare fuck with the Crab of Ineffable Wisdom himself, so you know you're already on the losing side. Just be lucky Joel doesn't put you in cans and feed you to the Woe Kitten : 'WOE UNTO THEE! ' >:3
@Reynardine. You said, "You know how many kids were raised by two adults of the same sex after WW II? A mom and an aunt, a mom and a grandmother, and-- in actual theaters of war-- a dad and a grandad, or two surviving uncles."
These people want to live in the 1950s and 1960s like it was nirvana. Remember "My Three Sons" on television back then? Three boys being raised by a dad and --gasp-- Uncle Charlie. Not a wife or mom in sight. Then there was "Family Affair" where two girls and a boy are raised by a bachelor uncle.
I still cringe in horror (heh, heh!) at the thought.
@ rubber chicken
Or three? Some think Joe wasn't involved. But somebody must have been. more ? One of those guys is supposedly a trio all by Himself.
Confusing -Why do they call that guy "father"?
(Don)
Then there was The Brady Bunch . Three of the Brady children were his, three of them were hers, but NONE of them were theirs .
I think I've decided that one of the most concerning things about this sort of complaint is the assumption that children should never be confused. They spend most of the time bewildered; simple shapes and the alphabet are a challenge! Babies are confused by their own feet! To protect them from confusion is to protect them from education, to treat them as toddlers for ever.
Which actually makes perfect sense if your only goal is to introduce them to your imaginary friend, come to think of it.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
