A woman who gave out about a Campbell's ad featuring gay dads didn't quite get the response she hoped for

“How about that soup-er soup?”

A FEW WEEKS ago, Campbell’s released this adorable ad, featuring two fathers doing impressions of Darth Vader with their son.

While the ad has been widely lauded, it was also accused by many of pushing a “gay agenda”. (The group One Million Moms even called for a boycott of Campbell’s products.)

Some unhappy people have even taken to the Campbell’s Facebook page to express their discontent.

Anticipating the number of comments, some clever clogs decided to set up a Facebook account called Campbells For Help to deal with the influx of complaints.

And now, one such interaction is going viral.

It started when a customer criticised the company for pushing a “homosexual agenda”.

Campbell’s For Help did not leave her off with it.

And didn’t stop there.

The interaction was uploaded to Imgur where it has been viewed over 519,000 times.

And while the page itself is not actually affiliated with Campbell’s, people have still taken to Facebook to congratulate the soup company.
