The Amateur Message Boards of the World Famous VoyeurWeb

]A new Cheerios commercial that included an interracial family drew so many racially motivated hate comments on YouTube that the video-sharing website shut down the commercial’s comment section.The ad, which debuted Tuesday, shows a biracial child asking her white mother whether Cheerios are good for the heart, and then cuts to a shot of the child’s black father waking up from a nap with Cheerios spread all over his chest.

But the lighthearted spot touting Cheerios’ potential health benefits was eclipsed by thousands of comments left on its YouTube page this week.The comments section has now been disabled, but AdWeek reported that some of the comments made reference to Nazis, “troglodytes” and “racial genocide.”

General Mills, the company that makes Cheerios, said the ad had been well-received, despite the YouTube comments. “Consumers have responded positively to our new Cheerios ad. At Cheerios, we know there are many kinds of families and we celebrate them all,” Camille Gibson, vice president of marketing for Cheerios, said in a statement.

...Cheerios are good for the heart, and then cuts to a shot of the child’s black father waking up from a nap with Cheerios spread all over his chest.

You're correct, it's a bad commercial, everyone knows that black kid's father wouldn't be living there.

The positive comments vastly outnumbered the relative small amount of negative ones. People like Elklindo are too stupid to realize they have been had by slick advertising tricks. Don Draper would be proud.

The real problem, and what's really sick and irresponsible, is that a stunt like this promotes the idea that all racism originates with white people. A corporation and ad agency preying on the stupidity of people like Elklindo .


"Special KKK" ?

If was not for the nutty neocons then this wouldn't have become an issue...

Elk, you do realize that with your extrapolation of stereotypes in that last post you just doubled down on the evidence of your gullibility, ignorance, and stupidity don't you?

You guys are truly useful tools in many, many ways.

Go get your Cheerios.

Damn.
