No cheers for Cheerios.

There's been a lot of fuss about this commercial. It seems the nation's bigots, of which they are zilions, objected to a multi-racial family. So, not surprisingly, this commercial got lots of mail faulting it for letting this adorable child have a white mothers and black father. An idiotic and ignorant complaint, of course. But I must tell you I object to this commercial for other reasons.  For starters I dislike Cheerios, and always have, for making false health claims for their sugary cereal. I doubt that eating Cheerios has any actual benefit on your heart. Years ago, they pushed this stuff on kids suggesting that it made you big and strong. "He's feeling his Cheerios" was constantly on children's programming. The other annoying aspect of this commercial is that this child would have to be a moron to think that pouring Cheerios on her sleeping father would provide him with health benefits. I guess everyone was so outraged about the bigotry of this commercial, they didn't notice the stupidity.
