"Over the past two weeks, we sent our complaint about Jon Stewart’s “vagina manger” stunt of April 16 to the major sponsors of “The Daily Show”; we made sure they received a copy of the picture flashed on the screen of a naked woman with her legs spread with a nativity scene ornament in between. We are pleased with Delta’s response, and are awaiting a reply from others, many of which were contacted only this week. But we were taken aback by this response from Kellogg’s: “We understand that our customers come from a variety of backgrounds, experiences, lifestyles, and cultures and we respect their individual decisions to choose the television programs that they deem acceptable for themselves and their families.

When it all turns bad they’ll blame....the Right.
I really do not like to see conservative groups seriously adopting the language of the left. As long as Kellogg does not get bullied off of conservative shows by the left, I am ok with their stance.
Now if it turns out that they advertise with a political slant, I am all in favor of letting them see if they can survive with the customers they want. But that is to my mind different than adopting the language of the left and trying to reduced free speech.
Perchance they are planning to unveil a high fiber version of granola for all those ex-hippies of the baby boomer generation.
I love them and so did my kids, even though they called them “a bowl-full of boogars”!
I, for one, am disgusted by their response.
