Related: About this forumTYT: Woman Freaks Out Over Gay Soup Ad
A woman has accused Campbells Soup of promoting butt sex. The company features an ad in which two fathers feed their son soup while quoting Star Wars. The woman believes they are corrupting the youth of America with a gay agenda." Ana Kasparian (The Point), John Iadarola (Think Tank) hosts of The Young Turks discuss.
Do you like the ad? Can trolling be a good thing sometimes? Let us know in the comments section.

A woman up in arms over Campbells Soups new commercial for their Star Wars-inspired soups featuring a child with gay parents ended up getting massively out-trolled, according to LGBT blog Queerty.
In the ad, one of the dads uses the Darth Vader catch phrase I am your father, to convince a finicky little boy to eat. His partner then says, No, I am your father! But Facebook user Jess Hicks read far more into the otherwise mundane ad showing parents feeding their child soup.
Im so sick of this Homosexual agenda, You sell soup, not butt sex! Please take your ad down or you will not have a company anymore!
But another Facebook user created a page called Campbells ForHelp, which is not associated with the company but which nonetheless may have been saying what many of its employees were thinking.

Poor woman probably sees "butt sex" in everything.
Those two guys in the Sonic drive thru commercials: butt sex.
Those two guys in the Burger King chicken fries commercials: butt sex.
Crying "Native American" in the "Keep America Beautiful" commercial: butt sex on a pile of garbage.

Best use of that STAR WARS line I've seen in years...!

All around me is a forest of buttery dicks.
Nothing can top that line today, I don't have to pay attention until tomorrow.
