General Mills celebrates LGBT Pride with Lucky Charms-inspired campaign
New York Daily News ^ | June 28, 2013 | Victoria Taylor

Posted on 06/30/2013 1:31:07 PM PDT by Salman

Lucky Charms is perhaps the perfect cereal to celebrate lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Pride since it already includes a rainbow.

General Mills and advertising agency McCann Always On saw their chance and used the colorful marshmallow as the face of their #LuckytoBe campaign, which asks people to use the hashtag to post pictures and tweets about what makes them, well, lucky.

"We're celebrating Pride month with whimsical delight, magical charms, and two new rainbow marshmallows," the company said on the campaign website. "If you're lucky enough to be different, we're celebrating you."

And after a gay-friendly breakfast, I know just what they can have for lunch.

My brother did his Masters in Agricultural Economcs doing cold breakfast cereal production and marketing research. It was pretty interesting to hear about pricing and advertising/packaging costs for all brands of cereals.

Like most products, "low information consumers" are attracted by the flash and dazzle of brand name goods, when a better value product is available. My brother turned me onto Malt-O-Meal as an educated alternative.

No idea if they pander to the queers or not... and I actually don't consume cold breakfast cereals anymore, but I offer them as an alternative.

I stick to store brand/generic for as much of my purchases as possible. I also refuse to subscribe to cable tv.

All the national brands are funding the propaganda that comes out of the corrupt media formerly known as msm.

According to what I have read... the original “Kinsey Report” came up with a statistic of 10%. This has been questioned, however, because Kinsey used the prison population to gather his statistics.

Other researchers have said that it is probably only 1%-2% of the population.

I do not care what percentage it is. It is a very unhealthy lifestyle, as practiced, with multiple partners, all sorts of horrible diseases, and leads to a much shortened life span.

Even if one is not “religious”, one could consider the warnings in the Bible about this type of behavior as a sensible health warning.

Why is General Mills associating gays with leprechauns?
Holy smokes!

So lucky is the leprechauns name, is that right?

And General Mills is asking people if they got lucky?
And they're asking people how they got lucky?
Where were they going with this?

dunno if they thought this one through...

Being very generous. More like 3-4% I believe
= = = = = = = =
I understand I grossly ‘overshot’ (purposely) the percentages.
My gist was that why would a successful company cater and bow to the wishes of a vast minority of the population, when in effect they stand the chance of alienating the larger majority.

Any businessman/woman knows that if you are dealing with the public in general, it is never a good idea for your business to support a candidate, cause or idea as you stand an excellent chance of LOSING half of your prospective clientele.

the homosexuals in their own briefs to the USSC have said AT MOST it is 2.7% and that is ASSUMING from the 1% or so who self identify as homosexual.

homosexuals are always toxic for business in the family environment. Associating your product with homosexual behavior is a clear way to reduce sales and eliminate profits.

No normal person wants to be associated with a homosecual used product.

"A children’s cereal, how appropriate for the homos and pedophiles. I just told my son, who likes Lucky Charms, that there will not be anymore in our house."

There are alternatives. This is one by Malt-O-Meal. Same cereal, better price and it comes in family-sized bags. There's a General Mills boycott with me too so this helps.

Genesis 13:13
Now the men of Sodom were wicked and were sinning greatly against the LORD.

Genesis 18:20-21
20. Then the LORD said, "The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and
their sin so grievous
21. that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know."

Genesis 19:4-7
4. Before they had gone to bed, all the men
from every part of the city of Sodom--both young and old--surrounded the house.
5. They called to Lot, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them
."
6. Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him
7. and said, "No, my friends. Don't do this wicked thing.

Psalms 12:8 The wicked freely strut about when what is vile is honored among men.

Doonesbury Cartoon for Feb/08/2013

Isaiah 3:9 The look on their faces testifies against them; they parade their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to them! They have brought disaster upon themselves.

2 Peter 2:13b Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.


Ezekiel 16:49-50
49. "`Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy.
50. They were haughty and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen.



2 Peter 2

1. But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them--bringing swift destruction on themselves.
2. Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute.
3. In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.
4. For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them into gloomy dungeons to be held for judgment;
5. if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others;
6. if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly;
7. and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the filthy lives of lawless men
8. (for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)--
9. if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from trials and to hold the unrighteous for the day of judgment, while continuing their punishment.
10. This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the sinful nature and despise authority. Bold and arrogant, these men are not afraid to slander celestial beings;
11. yet even angels, although they are stronger and more powerful, do not bring slanderous accusations against such beings in the presence of the Lord.
12. But these men blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like brute beasts, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed, and like beasts they too will perish.
13. They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done.
Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.



But there IS hope!!!

1 Corinthians 6:9-11

9. Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived:
Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders
10. nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
11. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.


If you could NOT change, you would be in most pitiful shape...

If I could I would short their stocks, then wait for the plunge.
Fortunately my money is in a more stable environment.
