As one of those bastard advertising types I can tell you it's not a ploy for social engineering or liberal biased attempt to overthrow all right thinking Judeo-Christian values and pollute the master race.

It's simply to get people to stop in their tracks and look at a cereal commercial that's selling the same cereal on the same channel as 60 other cereal ads. How do you get people to pay attention to that? Well, Bob, we put it in a blue bowl this time and nobody noticed. Hey! what if we use a mixed race couple? That'll get people talking!

And like Colin Kaepernick taking a knee, it got people talking. So other advertisers started doing it. And Volkswagen says, hey if a mixed race couple gets them talking, how about two plausibly gay hipsters? Boom. IKEA said, "Hold my beer and watch this."

Pretty soon you'll see transgendered girls named Scott, Klingons, talking cloned sheep, and the Blue Man Group acting like they're a completely normal family and hawking toothpaste and toilet paper. The more "different" the better - just to get you to pay attention.

There are a lot of libs in the ad community, but they are getting paid by, and the work approved by, giant corporations. There is nobody less likely to take a risk with his ad budget than a brand manager with 6 VPs, a division President, and the CMO watching over his shoulder.

The bottom line is: does it sell more cereal? Last I looked, Cheerios was back to using a singing bumble bee.

This too, will pass.
