. . . The risk-reward equation for corporate advocacy has changed over time, says Bob Witeck, president of the District-based Witeck Communications, which specializes in the gay and lesbian consumer markets.
What’s the worst thing that could happen to Kraft? A denouncement from a special-interest group like One Million Moms….
What’s the best thing?
An army of people sends your product around the Internet, and your century-old brand suddenly seems cutting-edge.
Indeed, Oreo’s “gay cookie” stunt got a lot of people who might not ordinarily be inclined to shill for one of the largest food corporations in the world to declare its love for Kraft products all over social media.
Capitalistic motivations aside, it is good news that Oreo put out that rainbow cookie image; it reinforces the fact that LGBTQ acceptance is now something close to mainstream. And it shows what little tolerance our society now has for outright bigotry.
This is a lesson the Salvation Army is learning, rather painfully, this summer. The international charity made waves earlier this month when one of its employees, Major Andrew Craibe, went on an Australian radio show and was questioned by one of the show’s gay hosts, Serena Ryan:. . . the Salvation Army is learning the lesson that Kraft obviously already knows: the tide is turning, and you have to turn with it to keep making a buck.

“And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” (Ro 12:2). That’s enough for me!”
Yes, edifying scripture indeed.
And think also of what Jesus says in Matthew 7:13:
“Enter through the narrow gate: for wide is the gate and broad is the way which leads to destruction, and many there are who go through that way. But narrow is the gate and narrow is the way which leads to life, and few ever find it.”
“A tasty snack is all I expect from Nabisco, their personal beliefs are irrelevant.”
Right, but Nabisco is not content to keep it that way.
Oh...this is from salon......they’re the experts on everything......
It is NOT, and I repeat NOT, a symbol of homos or sodomy. To use it in such a way, is frankly satanic.
True. But Microsoft is indeed using it in just such a way.
Like what?
If you're a gullible moron, and assume everyone else is, that might be a coherent observation.
If you think that 10,000 people voting once each is equivalent to 250 perverts with an internet connection voting 40 times each, you'll believe anything.
I hope corporations large and small are smarter than that, if they plan to keep their customers..
Folks who think this is only to cater to the 1% (is it even that) of American homos obviously have not spent time with today’s youth. The overwhelming majority of them have been brought up not to “judge.” The last thing they want to do is have any moral standards and be a “hater.” They think it’s “cool” to support this disgusting, immoral agenda hence why this stuff is being “liked” so much. Sadly for them, God will not be mocked. It is He who will deliver our country from Satan.
“You forgot the BARF ALERT!”
Sorry, my bad.
