As usual, George Carlin has something to say on the matter:
A Reverend Donald Wildman in Mississippi heard something on the radio that he didnāt like. Well, Reverend, did anyone ever tell you there are two KNOBS on the radio?
Two. Knobs. On the radio. Of course, Iām sure the reverend isnāt that comfortable with anything that has two knobs on it.
One of them turns the radio OFF, and the other one CHANGES THE STATION! Imagine that, reverend, you can actually change the station! Itās called freedom of choice, and itās one of the principles this country was founded upon. Look it up in the library, reverend, if you have any of them left when youāve finished burning all the books.

I donāt know about the rest of your list, there, but I can tell you exactly where it was decided that homosexuality was unnatural: Plato. Laws, I 636a-d and VIII 838e-839a.
Seriously, thatās it. You can follow the thread from Fred Phelps through Aquinas and all the way back to Plato, and that handful of lines is the written basis of all modern ānaturalā homophobia here in the west (the stuff in Leviticus didnāt have anything to do with whether homosexuality was ānaturalā or not; its proscriptions were cultural/purity-based). The Neo-Pythagoreans picked it up a couple of centuries after Plato, then it oozed into early Christianity by way of Philo, meshed with existing Judaic purity laws and Roman cultural distatse, and here we are 2,500 years later still dealing with. This. Shit.

As a woman over 50, I can say that you have very little understanding of us.

You fruit-adders, sweeteners, milk-skimmers, adulterators of pure, high fat, plain yogourt. Unnatural, is what youare.

These people donāt even have a religious crutch to stand on since there is absolutely nothing in the bible that prohibits lesbianism.

Fruit on the Bottom yogurt already had a pretty non-hetrosexual subtext.

The only thing that bothers me about this ad is that they STILL have the upside-down-spoon licking. Iāve never seen anyone do that in real life, yet every woman eating yogourt (or pudding) in an ad does it. I knew they would do it before I even clicked and Iām actually shocked they didnāt jump at the opportunity of having both women partake.
Aside from that it was pretty cute.

Theyāre really gonna lose it when they find out Chobani contains live lesbian cultures.

The ad is offensive because itās Another Boring Yogurt Ad. Five years from now it wonāt seem remotely interesting. Of course, One Million Moms is far more offensive, bland, and uninteresting. Also, Iām increasingly weirded out by the whole moms-as-a-demographic thing. So youāre a mom, so fucking what? As if all mothers have the same priorities, interests, and political views.
