Support Campbell's Soup and give the finger to gay-bashing homophobes

[rowangolightly]

Found this over at gamera_spinning's and whole-heartedly agree with him.

Short version: Campbell's bought two two-page advertisements in the December and January issues of The Advocate, which features a lesbian couple and their son, and apparently the Catholic Church thinks this is going to destroy the fabric of civilization and the folks at catholic.com are apparently asking folks to call Campbell's to protest their "supporting the homosexual agenda".


Here's the nonsense over at Catholic Forums, wanting folk to contact the CEO of Campbell's to pressure him to take the ads down. I don't think so.

You can see the oh-so-horrific ads here:

Already sent off my email to this man in support of his advertising choices!

We buy stock pretty much every other grocery trip, Swanson's is our preferred brand. We have from time to time subscribed to the Advocate.

I understand your latest ad has raised some controversy and I wanted to let you know that in response we (myself and my Catholic partner) will ONLY buy Swanson's broth for the next year to help show our support of you showing all sorts of chefs and families in your ads.

Thanks for actually advertising to your customers,
Star & Pooch

A very good and well-reasoned email. Unfortunately, I got a "failure to deliver" notification three times, so I assume that he's changed his email address. Most unfortunate, because he can't see the supportive emails that come in addition to the negative ones.
