So, my dear objective ladies and gentlemen of the jury (whether you are gay or straight ), how is this statement anti-gay? :

"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. 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."

I eat barilla all the time, and I’m going to continue to do so.

Good for them.

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.

Millions? Really? And what proof do you have?

Barilla is good pasta.

We have quite a bit stored already.

But I’ll make sure to buy even more from now on.

I’ll have to go buy some more now. I love their pasta. It doesn’t fall apart like some. I have quite a bit in my SHTF supply.

So now, pro-family comments are construed as anti-gay?

At least one doesn't have to wonder where Barilla brant pasta has been before it gets to your table, if you catch my drift.

Once again proving that “tolerance” is not the end-goal for the pro-homosexual agenda. Nothing but complete approval and acceptance will do. Remember, with militant liberals, tolerance is a one-way street.

Where can I get a “I love a Barilla” bumper sticker?

In the new Amerika anyone who doesn’t agree with the homosexual lifestyle is considered a hateful bigot. That’s what happened with my family when I opposed my cousin’s gay lifestyle, this stuff tears families apart. The gays want everyone to be miserable like them and destroy the family.

Tolerance of all is the most important value! Henceforth anyone found to lack sufficient tolerance will be ostracized in disgrace! We will not tolerate intolerance!

I am a little confused as to why we even care how Barilla spends his advertizing dollars and the choices that they make in the type of advertizing that they believe is most effective.

Isn’t the point to extoll the product...not the vices of those who consume it ?

if they don't like it then they will not eat them and they will eat another brand."

In no way did he tell gays not to eat his pasta. He was very clear saying if they didn’t like their ads, that they would choose to eat another pasta brand. MSM cannot ever get anything straight (pun intended).

As a pre-diabetic, I no longer eat pasta. But I may buy a box this weekend to support the guy.

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.

how is this statement anti-gay?

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.

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.

Today's Pasta Lesson

ORECCHIONE = "Big Ear", Slang for Queer, Sodomite.

ORECCHIETE = "Cute little ears," a type of pasta shaped like, well you got it. Made by Barilla.
