For the first time in history, drag queens will be broadcast into the homes of millions this year via a Sabra hummus commercial set to air during Super Bowl LIV.

The drag performers, Maxwell Heller and Sang-Young Sin, who go by the stage names Miz Cracker and Kim Chi, were former contestants on RuPaul’s “Drag Race.”

According to a Fandom Wiki page, Sin is “sometimes nicknamed ‘Shade Chi’ by fans on Reddit due to [his] tendency to post shady comments on Twitter and Instagram.” Heller, according to an “about” page on his website, launched his “drag career in 2011 while participating in marches for marriage equality in Times Square.”

“[Heller’s] forthcoming solo show, ‘American Woman’, discusses how drag queens and gay men can become better allies to women in an age when feminism is more important than ever,” it outlines.

Sabra has released a “teaser” to gear viewers for the Super Bowl advertisement. The short, 15-second video shows the two sitting at a table wearing eye black as Sin eats hummus and Heller dons a football helmet.

“Ready, Cracker?” Sin asks. “Chick peas! I was born ready,” Heller replies.

He then attempts to put on a helmet over his long blonde wig, remarking, “I hope this doesn’t give me helmet hair.”

According to Adweek, the commercial, produced by Vayner Media, will also feature Teresa Giudice and Caroline Manzo of the reality television show “Real Housewives of New Jersey,” as well as rapper T-Pain. Teasers were likewise released for the Housewives and T-Pain appearances.

“We’re bringing a diverse group of personalities to the table and demonstrating just how incredibly versatile, relevant and relatable hummus is today,” Jason Levine, chief marketing officer for Sabra, told the outlet. “We think we’ve got something for everyone.”

While drag queens are a first for a Super Bowl commercial, the sporting event is no stranger to controversial material. In 2015, pop star Katy Perry, a former contemporary Christian artist (CCM), promoted experimenting with lesbianism during the halftime show during Super Bowl XLIX, singing her 2008 hit song “I Kissed a Girl” to the thousands gathered at the University of Phoenix stadium and the millions watching on television. . . .

Some professing Christian houses of worship broadcast the Super Bowl for their members, holding parties in the evening for the youth group or the congregation as a whole. Some seek to Christianize the event by playing testimonies from athletes during halftime or the commercial breaks.

I am not watching the Super Bowl due to their pro-abortion bias by refusing to allow a pro-life commercial to air during the game along with their decision to expose young children to the perverted antics presented in Sabra’s commercial. I will be praying, but not watching.

Lord please help our culture grow up and beyond all this nonsense that is being pushed on us. I pray this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Our church planned a Super Bowl party, which has become a great annual outreach. I just suggested to our pastoral team that we play the pro-life ad Fox News turned down (https://www.ifapray.org/blog/just-stand-superbowl-ad-rejected-by-cbs-what-do-you-think) before the coin toss and mention that it was turned down but a drag queen commercial was accepted. Then we can spend a moment praying for our culture and its upside down priorities and lovingly pray for those caught in sexual confusion.

I’m with those who are taking Sabra off our shopping list! Bravo to those not turning it on! Maybe this is a good alternative to those who already have outreach events set in motion.

Lord God, Abba Father, Forgive us dear Lord,for many times I have laughed. Thank you for showing me how it’s not always right to laugh.
“Man shall not live by bread alone but by every Word of God”, Luke 4:4.
Help us to see how the enemy is constantly trying to get us to wink, laugh, and eventually accept sin for how it deceives the plan of God for women, men, and families. Let us learn to have a ready Scripture verse for these situations that we are daily being bombarded with. Help us Dear Lord to ask you to make us more and more like you, and “Sanctify us by your Truth,for your Word is truth.”John 17:17

      Amen. “Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.” 1 John 2:15-17. “And be ye not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” Romans 12:2

King Jesus, our struggle is not with flesh and blood. The enemy appears to be gaining ground as we are seeing the normalization of sin. Gender confusion is affecting our Nation like never before.
Forgive us O God. It is against You and You alone we have sinned. The upcoming generation is losing its moral compass like never before.
We are quickly becoming like Sodom and Gomorrah. Yet, O God, You always have a remnant that has not bent their knee to Baal.
Pour out Your Spirit of conviction of sin. Show us how desperate we, as a Nation, are for You. Heal us and we will be healed. We have never needed a Savior more. Save us and we will be saved. In Yeshua’s Holy Name we cry out.

The best way to counteract this type of display is prayer.
The best way to show distaste for this type of ad is to stop buying sabre humus which until now has been my favorite. I will not be purchasing it anymore.
Do you know how many young adults will be watching this game?Good time for parents to have a conversation with their children.
Shame on the Super Bowl.
I won’t be watching it either.

February 2020 Decision Magazine “The Twisting of Gods Design” by Lee Weeks is a good overview of how we arrived at the social engineering of society. Superbowl ads are an outgrowth.

Even the Olympics have become a platform for Globalization. Essentially thier rebirth in the 1800’s was an attempt for world peace, with or without God.

Thoroughly baked bricks and tar was man’s attempt at saying “never again” to God, as the Tower of Babel was built to the clouds. A flood won’t destroy that structure, no-siree! Of course we did get all the various languages we have today and the lands separated after during Peleg (score 1 for God!) providing our continents today. Man will multiply and populate the earth. Good job Father God! You are always in control and are enthroned above all things! (What became of that tower anyway?). Job too discovered that, as did David with Bathsheba, Abraham with Melchezedek, Nehemiah and King Cyrus, and well as Mordecai, Esther, & Haman and Gods deliverance of the righteous in captivity. God desires to deliver the church in the same way today. We are surrounded by a cloud of witnesses.

Elisha understood this, “greater is He who us with us, than he who is with them”.

    Ron, Thank you for the 1st two paragraphs of information. I’ll look that Decision Magazine article up. I’m familiar with the magazine. Thanks

God, hide Your people from the scheming of the wicked, from the mob of evil doers. Make them to stumble; having their own tongues work against them. May all who see them shake their heads. Then everyone will fear and will tell about God’s work, for they will be made to understand what He has done.

How awe-inspiring are Your works, Lord. Bless the Lord God Almighty!👏

Yet another reason not to buy into the un-superbowl propaganda. Thank you, Jesus. Praise God for this week: Brexit is official; senate voted down witness and acquittal within days.
