The latest sheer idiocy from conservative homophobes: Boycotting Oreos (Hurl alert)
Washington Post ^ | October 23rd 2020 | Colbert I. King

Posted on 10/24/2020 1:31:57 PM PDT by Ennis85

Credit the group One Million Moms with spurring me to brave covid-19-struck Washington, D.C., and make a beeline to the grocery store to purchase some Oreo cookies.

I could do no less in light of a scurrilous campaign the organization has launched against Oreo and its parent company, Mondelez International.

Not to be confused with the Million Mom March gun-safety organization, OneMillionMoms.com is an online ministry of the American Family Association, a self-described “conservative, pro-family” organization based in Tupelo, Miss.

One Million Moms is out of sorts because Oreo has joined with the nonprofit PFLAG — an organization of supportive parents, families and allies of LGBTQ people — to release “Rainbow Oreos.” These are described as cookies filled with Oreo cream in the colors of the Pride flag, and the company has launched the new product with a moving ad depicting a daughter and her partner introducing their relationship to her parents.

Here is the One Million Moms description of that ad: “The commercial focuses on the mother approving of her daughter’s girlfriend, but the father is hesitant and has reservations. He later has a change of heart and even displays his acceptance of her lifestyle by painting his picket fence in rainbow colors to further show his approval. The advertisement ends with: ‘A loving world starts with a loving home.’ Followed by: ‘Show you’re a proud parent #PROUDPARENT.’ ”

Lovely, isn’t it? Well, not to One Million Moms. The group is downright apoplectic.

The Oreo ad, the group charges, is an attempt to “normalize the LGBTQ lifestyle” by “featuring a lesbian couple, to brainwash children and adults alike by desensitizing audiences.”

One Million Moms warns that when you purchase Oreos or other brands and products Mondelez produces (such as Chips Ahoy!, Cadbury Dairy Milk, Honey Maid, Halls, Ritz, Triscuit,

“ Oreos are just not that tasty.”

Combine two double stuffers and sit back with a hot chocolate. It’s heaven.

Who wants to think about fecal sex while eating a cookie?

“The only cookie that is any good at all is Chips Ahoy. Oreos are just not that tasty.”

Displaying a pride flag, especially year round, is not the same as not wanting to be in the closet. Gay people are unlikely to be oppressed in whatever place he lives. This isn’t the 70s anymore. It serves no purpose except to say, “Look at me!”

And gay Oreos are just lame corporate pandering.

Riiiiight. Keep telling yourself that. Things might not be as bad as they were in the 70s. But if you think they aren’t being oppressed you’re just plain stupid.

My two sons and their friends hurl the word “faggot “ and “ that’s sooo gay “around all the time

it is clearly designed to be an insult

I think that’s the way it was when we were kids as well

No if they ever heard that term for “ a bundle of sticks “
around at school - they’d be expelled in about 10 seconds

Fortunately they do seem to understand that the school is one giant Gestapo prison run by either boy haters or straight out lesbians

Oh well ! It’s FREE !

An important area of biological research is the influence of the gut microbiome on brain function. The bacterial cells in our gut outnumber the actual cells of our body and have evolved to use neurotransmitter enzymes to manipulate human behavior to optimize their own metabolic needs.

For example, there is a protozoan, Toxo, found in cat feces that has evolved a way to infect mice so that they are attracted rather than repelled by cat urine. The run to cats who eat them and return the Toxo to the cat gut to reproduce.

What’s interesting is that this same Toxo also infects humans and causes their brains to generate dopamine when they smell cat urine. Researchers believe this may be responsible for “cat lady” hording of large numbers of cats.

What if we discover that certain sex specific microbiome organisms manipulate dopamine in the brain to influence sexual preferences so that they spread and survive better?

What if these organisms are also highly activated by chemical components of Rainbow Oreos?

This ad may be on to something big. /sarcasm

Kraft is run by morons. I have a life long friend that was pretty high up in the company. He retired out of disgust at the stoopid three years ago.

Fags hijacked the rainbow theme way back in the early 70s?

The joke is on them as God Almighty created the rainbow and said it was a sign that He would not flood the Earth with water any more

So they took a token of His Mercy and forbearance and twisted it into a rallying symbol for perversion.

As for sandwich Cookies, they are all the lowest form of cookie manufactured. And Chips Ahoy are the saltiest cookie on the market.
