One of the things I enjoy in life is breakfast cereal. Not things like shredded wheat, but the bad ones. Cocoa Puffs. Sugar Smacks. Lucky Charms. Things like that.

Some Freepers are horrified that I eat them (I have actually been lectured here!) but I don't care.

I am the most ferocious breakfast cereal eater, and my Jethro Bowl is a prized utensil.

But after General Mills came out with this ad campaign during "Gay Pride Month" last year, I am not eating any more of their cereals:


"...The new campaign centers around the leprechaun-loving toasted-oat-and-marshmallow cereal and uses the handle #LuckyToBe. General Mills announced the campaign in the video above and in a press release sent to homosexual lobbying group GLAAD, in which the company declared, “We’re celebrating Pride month with whimsical delight, magical charms, and two new rainbow marshmallows. . . . If you’re lucky enough to be different, we’re celebrating you.”

It turned my stomach.

Man, that is some twisted campaign. Kids are the breakfast cereal eaters. What kind of message is this, that your extra special if your a homosexual. Talk about trying to sell a lifestyle to kids.

I agree with you.
