That is a super adorable little girl! I'm glad Cheerios isn't giving in to racist fuckbags.

Yanno. I didn't even notice the bi-racial part of the commercial. It just looked normal to me. It's a cool idea though.
Yay Cheerios.
And Honey Nut Cheerios rock!

I'm not liking this idea of "risk." Its not a risk, Its doing what's right. There's a line to be drawn when it comes to racist assholes. I would flat out state on the box, "We discourage racists from purchasing this cereal because we don't want to be responsible for promoting longer and healthier life spans for a poisonous mindset that needs to atrophy and die. Your money and words are worthless to us."

I honestly don't see what the big deal is here. I think it's about time they started doing stuff like this. I saw this commercial the other day and thought it was kinda cute. Seriously, there's interracial couples and interracial families all over the place. Gah. It's not that big a deal.
