pandering to the filthy 1%, will lose more than 1% of their business... so how is that good for business???I wonder if certain events - global collapse, global war - stem the tide and even reverse it?
Typo: I meant would these events stem the tide, and even reverse it?
Add to this some sort of natural disaster, or epidemic. I cannot help feeling that this whole, big, global gay agenda rode in on the wave of what Howe and Strauss call “the Unravelling”: A period based on economic prosperity, mobility, and individual identity rights. Hence, it would “ride out” on the new era: Of a return to a consensus, of renewed civic pride brought about by economic disaster and global war: I cannot believe this is anything that will truly last.
Sorry, but I don’t *buy* this nonsense. Companies are more likely to get sales by not going along with immorality.
...so is G-d a bigot, sodomites?
At the rate things are going, I’ll be able to marry my dog in the next year or two. I’ve always loved her big brown eyes.

“Indeed, Oreo’s “gay cookie” stunt got a lot of people who might not ordinarily be inclined to shill for one of the largest food corporations in the world to declare its love for Kraft products all over social media.”
Gee, it made me go to Trader Joe’s and buy Joe-Joe’s. They’re much better than Oreo’s. My daughter made me try one with Nuttella. Good thing I don’t get PMS any more!
“You can be sure that Oreo, which is made by Nabisco, which in turn is owned by mega food corporation Kraft, knew exactly what it was getting into. Kraft knew it would rile some homophobes’ feathers but that the majority of Americans who now support same-sex marriage would hold more weight.”
That is simply not true. A know a guy who is a stocker at a grocery store and he reports that during a normal day, they would have to restock to Oreo shelf twice, but since Oreo went all gay and all, he may have to restock Oreos once a week. And for the first time every, he has found packs or Oreos in the store that have been smashed and if they are smashed, they cannot be sold.
“declare its love for Kraft products all over social media.”
Boy, we just can’t wait until Kraft comes out with “Mac & Frank”....(dripping with sarcasm)
Supporting gay rights is good for business ONLY because it is politically correct right now. Logically, it makes sense to treat paying customers as just that, customers. Nobody knows their sexuality (what they do in the bedroom) when they walk through the door. Same with employment. I don’t care what you do on your off time (as long as it’s not illegal), just show up and give me your ‘A’ game.
Sure it is. Once I get wind of a business being a commie lib thing or supporting the commie lib agenda, I just don’t deal with them anymore. Not a boycott. Just a personal “choice” thing.
pandering to the filthy 1%, will lose more than 1% of their business... so how is that good for business???“What does it profit a man to gain the world, and lose his soul?”
It’s obviously too much to just expect a decent product or service.
Yeah, right. I guess that’s why J.C. Penney’s profits have fallen so sharply in recent months.
This is il-informed blather. Many companies have made this mistake, and it always ends badly. Most people aren’t “homophobic,” but they’re sick of this garbage. They quietly stop by products. In large numbers. It’s not a formal boycot, but that just means once the ball is rolling, there’s no organization to appease. Watch the next quarters’ numbers - they will be BAD.
The article mentions J.C. Penny and Ellen Degeneres but fails to mention J.C. Penny’s 18.9% drop in same store sales in the First Quarter.

“PORTLAND, Ore. – A man on parole for trying to infect children with HIV nearly 20 years ago pulled a boy into a Portland restaurant bathroom over the weekend, attempted to sexually assault him and then stabbed him several times, police said.”
(AP. July 3, 2012 )
One Million Moms = one million households with one or more kids = cookies.
One million homosexuals = one million mostly childless households = death of the cookie monster.
“Indeed, Oreo’s “gay cookie” stunt got a lot of people who might not ordinarily be inclined to shill for one of the largest food corporations in the world to declare its love for Kraft products all over social media.”
Shilling for the politicization of a product doesn’t necessarily translate to sales. I’ve been waiting for Kraft to trumpet its huge success with this stunt but have yet to see it.
If internet exposure was all that they claim... voting turn out is going to be off the charts this election cycle!
The tide hasn’t been turning for me. I believe I remain unaffected by the slow avalanche of immorality that has been with us for some time.
I am truly disappointed in ‘Salon’. I expected a scholarly article that is the trademark of that miraculous publication and ideology./s 1^
