For Pride month this year, Jon Stewart had one request for corporations and their LGBTQ+ focused marketing campaigns: “Stop.”
The Daily Show host started off his monologue on Monday by showing viewers some recent Pride-related ad campaigns from major companies, such as a three-minute long Oreo commercial about a father accepting his daughter’s new girlfriend, or the colorless design of a Skittles bag labeled “only one rainbow matters during Pride.”
“And then, of course, there’s Target,” Stewart said. “Pride month means so much to them that they set up one small area in their 20,000 square feet of store, to sell you a Pride T-shirt they had made in Indonesia for 29 cents…. Because they believe so much in the cause.”
