Hershey’s Faces Backlash After Featuring Biological Male in Ad Honoring International Women’s Day

Hershey bars taste like oil and Splenda. Instead of spending money on a better chocolate recipe, they waste money on this.

American Greatness: The Hershey Company is facing a backlash on social media after featuring a biological male dressed as a woman in a new ad honoring International Women’s Day.

The short commercial features Fae Johnstone, a “2SLGBTQUIA+ Advocate,” promoting a limited-edition Hershey’s candy bar with his image on it. (The acronym 2SLGTBQIA+ stands for “Two-Spirit, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and/or Questioning, Intersex, Asexual”).

The spot was released on Wednesday as part of Hershey’s Canada’s “Her for She” ad campaign for International Women’s Day on March 8.

In the clip, Johnstone provides a voiceover explaining the company’s “inclusivity initiative”: “My name is Fae Johnstone, I’m the executive director of ‘Wisdom to Action.’ We can create a world where everyone is able to live in public space as their honest and authentic selves,” the trans activist says.

The ad ends with the Johnstone laughing and posing with four biological women. His voiceover concludes with an invitation for viewers to view Hershey’s Canada’s International Women’s Day campaign on its website. more

  1. Hershey’s has gotten cheaper and nastier tasting over the years.
    It’s downright grainy.
    Never buy the stuff.
    The ad is disgusting.
    Probably done by some gay guy or man hating lesbian.

  3. @Jethro: I found the video by going to Jeremy Boreing Twitter site. He not only sells the chocolate bars, but shaving supplies as well. Fight back, that’s the only way to play.

  4. why yes. hershey’s must compete for the chocolate eating gay and transvestite business. im going to assume that the HR and Marketing divisions of hersheys are staffed with all the gay and transvestites in the firm.

  5. Pretty fitting that Hershey’s is using in it’s add celebrating “Women’s International Day”, whatever the hell that is, by casting a Gay Man who likes to dress up as an extremely ugly woman and undoubtedly takes it up his own Hershey Highway on a regular basis. Whoever came up with this marketing disaster at Hershey should be thrown into a boiling vat of their horrible tasting chocolate.

  6. Revising the old Hershey highway to Heshe highway. Shouldn’t be a problem, two fewer letters, truth in advertising and the .01% of the population that is supercalafagilistically queer will say… ‘it’s not enough’.

  7. I have much better chocolate stored away for my “rainy day”. Sorry HeShe, no sale here.

  8. “Hershey bars taste like oil and Splenda. Instead of spending money on a better chocolate recipe, they waste money on this.”

    MJA. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I remember as a kid it tasted way better than it does today. Good call.

  9. “We can create a world where everyone is able to live in public space as their honest and authentic selves”

    This statement presents quite the quandry. How can a being with a dick and a set of balls (or a vag and ovaries for that matter) presenting itself as the antithesis of said being be living honestly and authentically? Something seems amiss there. 🤔
