Stephen Colbert Shuts Down Conservatives Fuming Over the Gay Campbell's Soup Ad
Stephen Colbert is a father. Sometimes he wishes there were two of him, like the lucky kid in this Campbell's Soup commercial who "has two dads competing for his attention." Really, the ad warms the comedian's heart. One Million Moms–the activist group that promotes fundamental christian values "by, as far as I can tell, getting mad at TV commercials"–harbors an opposing feeling. The organization feels the ad is "glorifying an unnatural marriage."
The only thing weird here, as Colbert pointed out on the Late Show last night, is the integration of Campbell's Soup and Star Wars. He ends the bit, where he crushes the idiots mad about soup politics, with a sweet anecdote about his own family. He also points out that if it wasn't for One Million Moms, he wouldn't have shown the commercial on his show. And we wouldn't be writing about it here. Good work Campbell's marketing team.
