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

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,

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

That sounds a bit like a tag line for interracial gay porn.

Kraft is run by morons.

They bought out the Knudsen brand, and turned one of the best cottage cheese products into junk. Morons.

Keebler cookies are USA made, and so is Little Debbie. A lot of the Nabisco product is Mexican made now.

they say that ‘silence is violence’
They’re wrong.
Silence is Silence, compelled Speech is violence.

HOW TRUE!

Doesn’t matter if Oreos are multi or single colored. They need a gimmick to sell.

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


I'm assuming you failed to read the entire excerpt?

If people really understood what homosexuals do to themselves and each other as part of their lifestyle, most people would turn away in disgust. Long as they stick to nice images of Brad and Steve holding hands nobody cares.

That’s why God made Hydrox cookies 4 years before Oreo folks mimicked them.

They changed their recipe years ago and went with artificial (fake chemical ) sweeteners. That’s when I stopped buying their stuff. Just can’t do fake chemical sweeteners.

I used to product test them many years ago. They were doing it to make them vegan because a few people complained. They haven’t been the same since.

As soon as I see Washington Post, I click out of the site...worthless emoting. I mourn the life of any tree that gave its life for that worthless product
