Two women planning a wedding... yeah... pretty shocking stuff. Maybe there’s some going down in the commercial; but I reckon we would be so lucky.

So, some or other nutty mum’s group petitioned the ad to be removed because... well... no nudity, I presume.

And Hallmark removed the add.

Then GLAAD... some LBGTFHQ group complained about the ad being removed.
And Hallmark reinstated the ad.

Now, what pisses me off, is that there’s still no hot lesbo action in it.

WTF!

Apparently the brides were kissing in the original commercial. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/hallmark-channel-tv-channel-pulls-zola-ad-with-same-sex-couple-one-million-moms-complaint-2019-12-15/

Unsurprisingly, bigotry is still rampant in America in 2019.

Which demonstrates that selling products into a market of mixed and sometimes polarised opinion by leveraging gender orientation in a cynical virtue-signalling advertising campaign is fundamentally a vacuous marketing strategy which plays into the hands of easily offended douchebags with nothing better to do than complain about stuff.
