In yet another example of a multinational company glomming on to a current social hot topic in order to hawk its products, Oreo has released an advert with an LGBTQ story in it.
The video shows an Asian boy preparing to tell his grandmother that he’s gay, after being encouraged by his mother. Oh, and the boy’s sister eats an Oreo.
“Coming out doesn’t happen just once,” Oreo tweeted, adding “It’s a journey that needs love and courage every step of the way.”
The ad was produced in conjunction with PFLAG, which describes itself as the “first and largest organization uniting parents, families, and allies with people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer.”
The organisation is allied with corporations including Verizon, Walmart, and Hallmark.
The question remains, what the hell does sexual orientation and the struggle associated with that have to do with chocolate cookies?
Nothing obviously, it’s just another example of woke obsessives using eager corporations to push their agenda.
This isn’t the first time Oreo has done this:
FFS…almost had no clue this was an Oreo advertisement, but nice virtue signaling. Do you show this add in Mexico too?

Thank You highly addictive, very sugary, and unhealthy death trap cookie!

Thank you for this.
I had just been thinking to myself that cookie companies didn’t spend enough time speaking out about LGBTQ issues.
I hope the potato chip industry follows suit.

Will you be advertising this in China or the Middle East?

You could have sponsored work like this without using it to promote your brand. But you didn’t.

You sell your cookies in Indonesia, China and Russia. So spare us this preposterous virtue-signalling about your supposed LGBT-supportive credentials.
