Not interjecting commentary yet. I just want to see how different people interpret/react/process these images.

Okay, so the gay couple? You see gay couples in ads all the time now. Literally just saw one in a Jared's commercial.

The dog in the first image looks beyond embarassed - as well he should be for letting his owners put that ridiculous outfit on him.

And artificial white Christmas trees are disgusting.

Beyond that everything seems okay.

I'm guessing you are upset that the black family is portrayed as having no father. I have absolutely no problem with it but I try not to read into shit just for the sake of outrage.

Edit: I shouldn't say "you" since that's assuming on my part. My bad.

The gay couple stole the single mom's son. Or she stole theirs. It is a Holiday Mystery at Macys.

I'm not outraged about anything. I'm observing and reading. I'm curious.

The only thing that outrages me are Pedophiles, Donald Trump, and littering. Everything else? It's just Monday.

I can't abide by this. I don't care what people think. It's disgusting and sickening......Most of those pajamas are ugly and shouldn't be bought. Cute families tho.

I see a company that was trying to be nice and inclusive but probably didn't have many/any black people involved in thinking up the photos.

Caught the single black mother right away. I'm sure their intent was never to offend, but I feel that this could have been avoided with a little more thought.

Unforced error, though I am willing to forgive a company that is appearing to try to be inclusive and diverse. This just means you needed more diverse perspectives in your decision making process. You had some or else there wouldn't be an interracial gay couple.
