I can't keep up with your conspiracy theories anymore.

Maybe you should just bow out.

What is the fun in that?

That family is not more racebating than #myrightwingbiracialfamily

The whole thing is one big left wing stunt. Nothing new from the liberals. The NFL is the perfect venue to push this.

The days and weeks following the game, guilty white liberals all over America will be in their homes and in the work break room proclaiming how cute they thought it was, lying about how they didn't even notice that it was a biracial family - all bringing more sales to the General Mills company.

"You know what, I'm gonna buy four boxes just to piss off those right wing racists."

The U.S. Census Bureau today released a 2010 Census brief, Households and Families: 2010, that showed interracial or interethnic opposite-sex married couple households grew by 28 percent over the decade from 7 percent in 2000 to 10 percent in 2010. States with higher percentages of couples of a different race or Hispanic origin in 2010 were primarily located in the western and southwestern parts of the United States, along with Hawaii and Alaska.

Targeting 1/10 aint bad..

Because we know that we must target by race when it comes to selling cereal. Right?

That's where the argument falls apart. Cereal preference is not affected by race. That's why that's not that angle. The angle is to create controversy to generate attention. Show it at the Super Bowl where that kind of controversy is in high demand.

It's not an ethical way to advertise. For that, I hope their profit margin continues to fall.

Marketing 101... Pick a demographic you want, and beleive you can appeal to, and target them...

Cherios is a private company and if someone said... "Hey interracial families are growing 20% a decade, we may want to use them" how is that different than say aiming your commercials at an aging population?

Cheerios is owned by General Mills. They aren't hurting.

Multi grain Cheerios are where it's at.

Think about what you are saying:

"Sales are down. We have to go after the biracial families."

Think about the product:

"We manufacture and sell breakfast cereal."

Think about reality:

"Sales are down. How can we generate a lot of attention to our product."

I'm sure Cheerios is better for you, but another poster hit the nail on the head. People are buying generic. Cheerios are not price effective. They have become something that people do not think it is worth paying the extra price for.

The most effective way to advertise is to cash in on a disruption in society. Sometimes you have to create one. My point is that this disruption is not an ethical one.

Race has absolutely nothing to do with cereal. Sure there are more biracial families in America. That's because there are more people in America. That doesn't mean that you need to use race to sell your product.

By and large most people prefer to marry within their race. That isn't going to change because the left thinks they are combating racism. Why? Because it's not bigoted to prefer people that are like you. It's human nature. Race just happens to be a component of that.

I get it. I agree that this is all designed to grab attention.

I still won't buy Cheerios myself.

Wait I thought when you market a product you tried to avoid controversy?

I think it's more important to get attention.

I like Cheerios but they are good for you and as someone else noted they run through me like they are in a race. I just go to the convenience store and get bacon egg and cheese on wheat toast. The wheat is my nod to healthy eating.

You didn't take any marketing classes did you? Did you even go to college?
