I'd vaguely heard something about a commercial that was being criticized for idiotic reasons, but I hadn't seen it (wrong side of the pond + I seldom watch commercials (I'm the Empress of screening at the speed of light) + I no longer eat cereals, so why would I pay attention to a commercial trying to promote a cereal brand?).
Now... I've seen it, and it perfectly fits my definition of 'goodvert', because it's funny and it's so incredibly cute that it works (as I said, I'm no longer eating cereals, but if I were... I'd be checking their boxes at my supermarket).
Am I mentioning that just for the sake of sharing it with you? Not only. It turns out that some bipeds commented on the video saying that, I paraphrase, it was a disgrace, a shame, a thing that should be deleted and hidden in a dark cave, twenty miles under a mountain - or something.
'Why?' you ask.
Simply because <insert fake, bored gasp here> it presents a family with a white mama, a black daddy and their mixed daughter. The horror! In 2013!
Well, here it is:
In my book, that's just... cute, and if we consider the amount of idiotic commercials out there, that one is refreshing.
Yet, bipeds complained about it because... 'Yuk! Interracial family! Yuk!'
These bipeds have brains firmly glued at the bottom of the dark cave of their tiny minds.
I could tell them that this is the 21st century, and it's time for them to stop thinking that they can bring Segregation back.
I could even tell them that interracial isn't a dirty word, and that children of mixed heritage are stronger, cute and the future of this sad rock.
I could...
I'll just add a lil' song, because being nice doesn't pay (& my allergy to stupidity is spiking up today):
