Neff: Thank Campbells for not giving in

[William769]

The American Family Association is asking its members to send a condensed letter of outrage to the world’s first makers of condensed soup.

Campbell advertising in The Advocate fueled the AFA campaign. The ads featured a recipe for a butternut squash bisque made with Swanson chicken broth and depicted a lesbian couple and their young son in the kitchen, at “home for the holidays.”

The last line of ad copy read, “This holiday season, serve a special meal no matter the size and structure of your family. The secret is Swanson.”

The tone of the AFA form letter, posted on the organization’s Web site, is simmering rather than boiling:
