Well, more searching shows that she has had several children with paul thomas anderson.... and in an article she says she lives with him, and considers him her husband, though they aren't legally married

So.... more unexplained strangeness

Maya Rudolph's mother is Minnie Riperton (famous African American singer-songwriter of the 1970's). Father is Ashkenazi Jew.

Point being: she is kind of intersectional.

Capitulating to wokism is NEVER a good move.

It’s cowardice.

“He is God, not Gawd. C’mon, man!”

I know, I know ... but one never knows when the correct spelling will get your post cancelled.

On an aside, have you ever listened closely to how some of these mega-church preachers pronounce it? It is almost a two syllable sound ... Go-wad or some such.

This should be their next advertising message.

“If multicolored candies can get along why not multicolored people”.

P.S. I will accept payment in M&Ms.

Maybe they just realized they could not come up with enough colors and add them fast enough to keep up with all of the genders and “orientations” that are added on a daily basis and gave up?

No, the marketing department and consultants are young wokesters who have destroyed years of a successful product promotion campaign based on animated characters by introducing gay sensibilities where they do not belong. This has destroyed decades of work and millions in promotional expenditures because their consumers do not want this crap served with their candy. They need to hire adults to run their marketing efforts and hire new consultants who are not slaves to woke bullshit.

This stupid “scandal” is about the animated green M&M changed to wear sneakers instead of go-go boots. Some people are upset that the figure was made less sexy.

It was because they released a picture of the green M&M sitting on a bench holding hands with another female M&M, implying that they are lesbians.

For Gawd’s sake why introduce a human ‘nobody’ into a cartoon commercial for candy?

Maya Rudolph is not a "nobody."

searches for 'maya rudolph lgbt' and 'maya rudolph lesbian' shows she's produced and started in lgbt movies and shows.

Maya Rudolph has been with her male partner since 2001, and they have four children. Because she has produced some LGBT shows merely follows from the facts that she is a liberal progressive, half black and half Jewish, living on the West Coast; it does not prove that she is a lesbian.

If you don’t know who Maya Rudolph is, your “general knowledge” score is pretty low.

Her mom is Minnie Riperton, singer from the 70’s. But she is very successful on her own.

In any event…the whole thing is a promo for the Super Bowl. It’s targeted to get people worked up. If anyone has had their emotions moved a millimeter over this—congratulations you’ve been manipulated.

This will go down in the history of advertising as one of the most effective advertising campaigns.

Maybe not but I’ve never heard of her - couldn’t pick her out of a lineup if your life depended upon it.

Wow - I had no idea about Mars buying up VCA! But I did noticed that the quality of my kitty's care started to drop around that time. The local office seemed to have a new head-vet every few months and the staff started looking rather scary (although that is also just the state of that generation).

I used to joke that my pets had better health care than I did. But then that changed (gradually and then suddenly). My kitties both went to the Rainbow Bridge at a fine old age, but I am taking a break from having pets. Not sure which way the world is going, but it isn't good.
