Ciao, Barilla!
The alleged anti-gay comments of a famous Italian pasta baron have left a bad taste in the mouths of millions after saying outright that he doesn't agree with homosexual values.
Guido Barilla, the chairman of Italy's world-famous Barilla pasta, sparked outrage after saying on an Italian radio show that he would only feature the "classic family" in his advertisements.
Adding insult to injury, he said that those who weren't welcoming his worldview to just buy another brand of pasta.
Speaking on Italy's Radio 24 on Wednesday, the 55-year-old, a fourth-generation Barilla, said: "I would never do (a commercial) with a homosexual family, not for lack of respect but because we don't agree with them. Ours is a classic family where the woman plays a fundamental role."
Barilla added that if gays "like our pasta and our advertising, they'll eat our pasta; if they don't like it then they will not eat them and they will eat another brand."
The statement has got Barilla in a pot of hot water, as pro-gay groups are calling for a protest of the pasta brand's vast amount of goods from spaghetti to sauces.

In no way did he tell gays not to eat his pasta. He was very clear saying if they didnt like their ads, that they would choose to eat another pasta brand. MSM cannot ever get anything straight (pun intended).
I saw this on the local news this morning. The newsbabe read the story as if she assumed everyone would be offended by Barilla's "anti-gay" comments.
Homosexual dogma: Anything that is not pro-homosexual is anti-homosexual.
There is no bad taste in my mouth from this statement.
That bad taste in the mouth of the queers is probably from the fromunda cheese.
RE: Homosexual dogma: Anything that is not pro-homosexual is anti-homosexual.
So, to quote Dubya: “You’re either with us or against us”?
RE: Tolerance of all is the most important value! Henceforth anyone found to lack sufficient tolerance will be ostracized in disgrace
How do you tolerate something you agree with? Implicit in tolerance is — DISAGREEMENT.
You only tolerate what you disagree with, not what you agree with.
So, by disagreeing with gays but still allowing them the freedom to practice their lifestyle as log as it doesn’t affect yours or mine, isn’t that TOLERANCE?
We’ve do distorted the meaning of words that they’ve practically lost their meaning.
I’ll have to write to Barilla and thank them for keeping the queer agenda out of their pasta.
I’m going to stock up on some too.
This is one upside down world.
We are now fighting for “tolerance” for defending traditional families.
It seems we are no longer allowed to believe what our Judeo Christian beliefs and foundation have always taught us. They are telling us to condemn what our Bible says - we cannot even think, let alone voice this belief.
The NY Daily News is a paper written for the just-barely literate. It is so dumbed-down that a well-trained chimpanzee would be able to read it and understand it. It uses language that is an insult to any third grader.
What it lacks in intelligence, it makes up for in hype, splash, and exclamation marks.
It is just the paper for the low-information voter who voted for 0bama.
Probably not.
Pasta thrives in hot water.
ORECCHIONE = "Big Ear", Slang for Queer, Sodomite.
ORECCHIETE = "Cute little ears," a type of pasta shaped like, well you got it. Made by Barilla.
Barilla was flying off the shelves at my local supermarket today. Some more “progressive” independent stores apparently have pulled it.
